Former defender of several KHL clubs Nikita Shchitov cited possible reasons for the unsuccessful departure “Metallurgy” in the FONBET KHL Championship.
After 11 matches, the Magnitogorsk club occupies 9th place in the Eastern Conference standings (8 points). Metallurg is the current winner of the Gagarin Cup.
— Naturally, Metallurg’s beginnings turned out to be unimportant. There are a lot of injured players, the team is playing with a sub-optimal lineup, which also needs to be taken into account. Not everyone attended pre-season training. The team is quite young. Maybe she approached the season poorly psychologically after the championship. But all this can be fixed. Metallurg has a good team. In our championship, everything changes quickly. Just win a few matches and you will reach the top. So I don’t see any problem for Metallurg. Nevertheless, the start was not very good,” Shchitov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
