Ilya Vorobyov: We have been a little heavier than the opponent today

CSKA head coach Ilya Vorobyov summed up the results of the match against Spartak.

 - We have been a little heavier than the opponent today. There were a lot of neutral pucks, we lost them, the opponent kept control over the puck. There were moments, and two in one, where we should have scored.

- Can you explain what is happening with the team in 2025? The team is completely different now – what's going on, what can explain the defeats?

- We are going through difficult times – the main goalkeeper, the team's best scorer broke down, only Nesterov came out. It's difficult to go through 68 games in one go. It's a very difficult phase right now.

- Does the reason lie in the personnel difficulties?

- Just a little bit.

- How would you rate Nikita Nesterov's performance today?

- He can do better. It was the first game after the concussion. We were preparing him longer for the games. 

- Without Prosvetov, Dmitry Gamzin is the backup for most games. Will you give him chances as the main goalkeeper?

- Yes, we will. The goalkeeping coach watches the training sessions and makes a decision. He works with them every day.
