Kunlun Red Star forward Tomas Jurcho commented on head coach Mikhail Kravets’ words about the team’s tasks for the upcoming KHL season.
Earlier, Kravets said that the club management had given Kunlun the task of fighting for medals in the 2024/25 season.
— Is it possible to build a strong team so quickly?
“I think we can reach the playoffs this season. This is the year when we can make a qualitative step forward and participate in the playoffs. We all need to get used to Mikhail Kravets’ style of play. On paper, the team is better than it has been in recent years. This year we will have a chance to achieve this goal.
— Kravets described the fight for medals.
— (pause) I have to say that’s a bold statement. I wouldn’t go that far. With this team, we have to take it step by step. Let’s see how the start of the season goes for us. I hope we can gradually improve. For me, the most realistic goal is to be a team that secures a playoff spot and doesn’t worry until the last game about what might come of it. Sixth or seventh place seems more realistic. I’ll only be happy if we do better,” Yurcho told the Championship.
The new season of the FONBET Kontinental Hockey League Championship starts on September 3. Kunlun will face Dynamo Moscow in their first match on September 4.
