Former Avangard President Kirill Sushinsky believes that Magnitogorsk “Metallurgist” will be able to find its game and compete with the Omsk club in the fight for first place in the Eastern Conference of the FONBET KHL Championship.
On Monday, the current Gagarin Cup winner Metallurg lost to Cherepovets Severstal (2:5), suffering a fourth consecutive defeat. The team occupies the last, 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings.
— Many teams can compete with Avangard. “Metallurg”, “Salavat Yulaev”, “Ak Bars”, “Traktor”. There are a lot of teams, they are all well-equipped.
“I think Metallurg will still gain points. And we all know about the champion syndrome. Many teams that become champions in one season sometimes start the next season badly. I think Metallurg will find its rhythm and start playing differently,” Sushinsky told Metaratings.ru.
In the next match, Metallurg will face Neftekhimik in Magnitogorsk on September 21.
