Head coach of Moscow “Spartak » Alexey Jamnov said that the 2023/24 season has changed the attitude of opponents towards the “red and white”.
The regular championship Fonbet KHL “Spartak” finished in fourth place in the Western Conference. In the 1/8 finals of the Gagarin Cup, the “reds and whites” beat Severstal 4 to 1; in the quarterfinals, Alexei Zhamnov’s team lost to Metallurg Magnitogorsk 2 to 4.
— We haven’t had any playoff experience. Out of the entire team, only nine players played in the knockout matches. Many players never made it past the first round. We tried to explain to the players that the mistakes we make in the regular season cannot be made in the playoffs. I think we ourselves lost the initiative and lost the series, but we have to give Magnitka its due. They have a strong team and they are developing deservedly. The most difficult thing for us is that next season they will listen to Spartak differently,” the correspondent reports, reporting Zhamnov’s words.
