“Lokomotiv” had to cheat a little, find something close to the goal” – Krikunov about the Gagarin Cup final

Honored coach of Russia Vladimir Krikunov guessed what was missing “Lokomotiv” in the final round of the KHL playoffs with “Metallurgist” .

On Wednesday, Lokomotiv lost to the Magnitogorsk club (1:2) in the fourth match of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoff final and lost the series with a score of 0:4.

— Igor Nikitin lacked, as it is now fashionable to say, creativity in attack. They attacked very directly. They had to be a little tricky, finding something near the door, but they thought they could take it basically. A powerful team in Yaroslavl, but not enough thought was given to it. They pressed, they squeezed, they strangled… But there was not enough trickery,” Krikunov was quoted as saying by “Championship”.

Metallurg became three-time winner of the Gagarin Cup; the Magnitogorsk club had already won it in the 2013/14 and 2015/16 seasons. In terms of the number of trophies, Metallurg is equal to Ak Bars (2009, 2010, 2018) and CSKA (2019, 2022, 2023).
