Razin after the defeat of “Admiral” called the game “Metallurg” pathos and naked

The head coach of Magnitogorsk Metallurg Andrei Razin commented on the home match in which his team lost to Admiral from Vladivostok with a score of 2: 5.

Commenting on the game of his team, Razin immediately recalled one of the quotes of the Soviet actress Faina Ranevskaya, which claimed that under each peacock tail there is a “chicken fifth point”. According to the mentor of “Metallurg”, in this game they failed excessive pathos.

“Today we came out on such pathos and were, as they say, naked,” says Razin. We can say that we attacked a lot, but we came out to play beautifully, and Admiral just went to work. 31 blocked throws, 16 of them in the second period alone. We didn't want to work at all today. It’s a pity that coaching sometimes means making hockey players work. Today, unfortunately, I was unable to do so.”.

At the same time, Razin refused to criticize goalkeeper Alexander Smolin, who missed five goals. According to the head coach, in principle, he was not to blame for them, as it is only the final stage, which usually falls into the sights of cameras, but the television picture does not always show the whole picture. "We have cameras on top," Razin says. If you look at them, you can see who did not run, who did not finish, who closed when it was necessary to open, who did not finish at some other moment, from which the loss began. There are many nuances that viewers do not see. And the final phase, when either the defender did not finish, or the attacker did not run... But sometimes both this defender and this attacker, on the contrary, save the situation, and those who made a mistake do not get into the camera in the final phase.”.
