Head Coach”kunlun » Ireland congratulated the opponent and summed up the results of his team’s performance at the Moscow Mayor’s Cup after the loss to CSKA in the final (1:4).
“It’s always difficult to lose in the final of a tournament,” Ireland admitted to reporters. – CSKA is not only the defending champion of the KHL. I like hockey very much, which is demonstrated by the army team. And yet in the first half we fought well against them. At first we had more chances to score than CSKA, but then we lost the initiative. But in general, the tournament helped us in development. We played well in all three matches.
— Did Kunlun lose in the final because something didn’t work out for your team, or was CSKA the strongest?
– The army team is a tough opponent. But we lost because of our mistakes. Although we can say that the opponent forced us to make mistakes. For example, we lost the puck just after the face-off and we scored a goal.
Kunlun played in the Moscow tournament final for the second consecutive year. A year ago, the Chinese lost to Dynamo in the final – 3:8. This year, Kunlun beat Spartak and Vityaz before the meeting with CSKA.
