Sergei Konkov, two-time Gagarin Cup winner at Dynamo Moscow, praised Magnitogorsk’s performance “Metallurgy” at the start of the FONBET KHL Championship season.
In the opening matches of the season, Metallurg lost to Lokomotiv Yaroslavl (2:3) and Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik (0:2), and also beat SKA St. Petersburg (5:4 OT). Last season, the Magnitogorsk club won the Gagarin Cup.
— At the beginning of the season, Metallurg lost to Lokomotiv and Neftekhimik. But there is always a special attitude towards a champion. Teams put a lot of energy and emotions into it. Metallurg no longer has the same tension as in the playoffs. But this is not the first story with championship teams when something does not work out for them at the beginning of the next season. Razin (head coach – Ed.) has everything necessary to bring back the game that brought results to his team. There are no crushing defeats, all games are difficult. Magnitogorsk is unlikely to deviate from its style. It will tighten up certain moments of the game, fight for high places and prepare for the main matches. But the team’s start to the season was far from what it wanted, RB Sport quotes Konkov.
