Hockey player “Spartacus” Ivan Morozov confirmed to a correspondent that his team benefits from bonuses for victories over certain opponents.
Spartak is in second place in the Western Conference with 16 points from 10 matches. On September 28, the “red-whites” beat CSKA (3:2 OT).
— Is it true that it is strictly forbidden to use a telephone in the Spartak locker room?
– Yes, that’s true. I won’t say it’s a strict ban. Someone is on the phone listening to their music before the game. Doesn’t like teamwork, having your own playlist. Just so players don’t spend time on social media during match breaks. As a result, concentration is lost.
— If you talk on the phone in the locker room, is that a fine?
– I think so.
— Is it true that Spartak receives bonuses for victories over its main rivals? For example, about CSKA.
– Yes, I did.
— Is it motivating? CSKA pays bonuses only for winning the Gagarin Cup.
– Of course, it motivates. It’s always nice,” Morozov told .
Morozov, 24, scored 8 (4+4) points in 10 matches of this championship.
On Thursday, Spartak will play at home with Barys in a match of the regular FONBET KHL championship, the match will start at 19:30 Moscow time.
