— Yes, we felt it at the end of last season. We are now moving towards this goal. I fully understand that this is possible.
— How can Spartak improve on last season’s result?
— We played well that year. During the off-season, we managed to keep the core, only one player remained. Several hockey players were added. Everyone is upset about the result of last season; I do not want to be eliminated in the quarterfinals, but to continue. Our players enter the season with sporting anger, ”Maltsev told .
