Gordon after the match with “Amur” spoke about the critical mistakes of “Tractor”

Head coach of Traktor Scott Gordon commented on the home game with Amur, in which the Chelyabinsk lost with the score 0: 2.

After another game in which Tractor lost, Gordon once again praised opponents, not his players. This time, according to the mentor of the Chelyabinsk team, the Amur goalkeeper Maxim Dorozhko held an incredible match. In contrast, the Tractorists did not show anything close to improbability in this game again, moreover, according to Scott Gordon, his team made critical mistakes at the gate.

At the same time, if you listen to the comments of the Chelyabinsk coach, these failures of Traktor are not some systemic failures, but just a coincidence. So, after asking journalists at a press conference to explain what Traktor lacks, that he is in the top three worst clubs in the third periods, Scott Gordon began to soften the statement of the problem. “While we didn’t generate as many chances as in other segments, I won’t say that we gave the period to Amur,” says the mentor of the “black and white”. We closed our defense zone well. We did our best, but we made critical mistakes at the gate. Overall, we have over sixty shots per match. I would agree with you if you were talking about the first three games of the season, but not now.

After a few more questions from journalists and answers from the coach, it became clear that Gordon, at least publicly, is not ready to say that Tractor will fail systematically. He doesn’t think that his players don’t put enough effort into matches, he doesn’t think that the reason for some of the leading players’ mistakes can be their fatigue due to being on the ice for too long in previous matches, he talked about the team’s youth and the hockey players’ illnesses. Nevertheless, "Tractor" by this point is in the standings at the penultimate, 10th place.
