“Spartacus “This season he played with a B plus,” the three-time USSR champion at the Moscow club told . Boris Mairerov .
On Saturday, Spartak Moscow lost to Metallurg with a score of 0:3 in the sixth match of the second round of the Gagarin Cup playoffs. The “red-whites” exited the tournament, losing the series 2–4.
— “Spartak” hockey has or has not existed for many years. Either he put together a good team or it turned out to be too mediocre. I believe the right measures were taken this year. Spartak has a decent team, but this does not mean that the team must immediately become champions.
What is the path to the championship? It is about progressive success, stability of the team with the selection of suitable players and a permanent technical staff. I believe Spartak played with a B plus this season.
As for leaving Metallurg. Let’s remember the 70s and 80s. Was it possible to imagine that Magnitogorsk could resist Spartak? But since then, in more than 30 years, Metallurg has achieved more than the reds and whites. Therefore, it is logical that Magnitogorsk is the favorite, despite the fact that Spartak looked good during the season,” Mayorov told .
