Head coach of the Nizhny Novgorod teamTorpedo » Igor Larionov after the Fonbet KHL championship match with Moscow”Spartacus said he did not understand the decisions of the referees, who punish his team in almost every game.
On Friday, Torpedo beat Spartak Moscow 2-1 in extra time. Torpedo received two dismissals for breach of force.
– Recently, “Torpedo” scores less. Can you say that you activated plan B by betting on defense?
– All the teams are probably watching, analyzing our matches. We will not deviate from our style. It brings pleasure to guys and fans. We will not look for plan B, but we will improve plan A. We have reservations, the guys will come out after the injuries. And we expect our discipline to rise. In the last two games, she was limping with us. If we are talking about moments, sharpness, thoughts – we cannot be unhappy with what is happening in the team. The guys are gaining confidence as the season progresses. And rejoices the atmosphere in the locker room, our collective efforts.
— What can you say about Maxim Letunov’s debut in the KHL?
– It is difficult to draw conclusions from a match. We understood that he had just arrived, he had the second day of acclimatization. And that was the New York-Dubai-Moscow route. I think he played well. The guy went through a great North American hockey school. I hope he will help us.
– What can you say about the fact that “Torpedo” has had enough fines?
– Players grow, learn from their mistakes. Of course, I would like to see less shift-related dismissals. But it is very difficult to understand the judicial system, which punishes us at almost every game. It is complicated. First of all, it takes a lot of energy. Guys, on the other hand, are very emotional, and it’s hard to press charges against them. One or two meters, which do not solve anything, affect the pace of the game and the charge,” Larionov told reporters.
In the Western Conference standings, Spartak is third with 10 points from seven matches. Torpedo (8 points in 6 games) is in 5th place.
