Gordon after the defeat of the Dragons explained why the Tractor at the end of the table

Head coach of Traktor Scott Gordon commented on the away match, in which the Chelyabinsk beat the Shanghai Dragons with a score of 6: 2.

According to Gordon, the result of this match is important, among other things, because in many previous fights, the Tractorists created many good moments, but many of them simply did not turn into goals. In the game with the Shanghais Chelyabinsk seemed to break.

In home games, where we only scored twice, I sometimes had the feeling that we were playing better than in the away series, where we scored three wins. The goalkeepers proved themselves perfectly in those matches. I am glad that we managed to throw twice in the majority, it gave confidence. “Shanghai Dragons” tried to equalize the score and also scored two, but then we scored decisive goals”, – said Scott Gordon.

The coach disagreed with the conclusions of one of the journalists at a press conference, suggesting that at the score of 3:0, Traktor went into cautious mode. "I wouldn't say we played cautiously," Gordon replied. There were moments where we had to better dispose of the puck, not to throw away, it is better to enter the zone, not to allow counterattacks. We certainly were not careful today.”.

Despite defeating the Shanghai Dragons, Gordon admits Tractor is not where he wants to be in the standings. He explains this by the fact that the Chelyabinsk team is a young team, and it is still being built, predicting that the “tractorists” will still have mistakes.

On October 9, a truly absurd and tense situation developed in Russian sports. On the one hand, the international federations are lifting discriminatory restrictions one by one. On the other hand, host countries are finding ways to keep our athletes out of competitions using a banal bureaucracy. A good example is the Russian gymnastics team, which right now risks losing its chance at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
