Metallurg head coach Andrei Razin explained why the team returned to Magnitogorsk after the match with Spartak was postponed due to the terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall. His words are quoted sports.
“The match was canceled on March 23. Why should we live in Moscow when we have been kicked out of Megasport? There is no room in the hotel we are staying at.
We need to look for ice urgently. We received a great offer to play in Magnitogorsk on the 25th. We were going to play three matches on our home field. Why did we work our asses off to come first in the East? So there’s a verdict against the Metallurg team? – said Razin.
The match was originally planned to be played on March 23, but was postponed to March 26 due to the terrorist attack. Spartak beat Metallurg with a score of 1:0. The only goal of this match came from Ansel Galimov in the 49th minute.
Avtomobilist, who beat SKA 4-1 in the series, and Traktor, who did not lose a single match to Dinamo Moscow, have already reached the semi-finals of the Gagarin Cup. Lokomotiv and Avangard continue to fight in the quarter finals. The series score is 3:2 in favor of the Yaroslavl team.
Former Tractor actor saidhow the team brings out the emotions after every game.
