CSKA vs Amur. What will be the next test for the charges of Sergei Fedorov?
On Wednesday, October 13, the capital's army team will play their next home match of the regular KHL championship. In the rivals, one of the championship outsiders is the Khabarovsk Amur. The meeting will take place on the ice of the capital's CSKA Arena.
CSKA continues to fever. The arrival on the coaching bridge of Sergei Fedorov has not yet justified the hopes that were pinned on a star striker with an army past. Hockey Igor Nikitin seemed overly pragmatic to the army bosses and the bet was made on Fedorov, as the carrier of the attacking army style. But, either the level of the performers does not correspond to the stated tasks, or the lack of coaching experience of Sergei Fedorov affects the results of the team, but so far the army team has noticeably surrendered in comparison with the sample of the last season. The stability in the results has disappeared, which has always been characteristic of CSKA.
The victory on October 6 in the capital derby over fellow countrymen from Dynamo seemed to have inspired the army team to new achievements, but already in the next match, Sergei Fedorov's wards lost 1-2 to one of the outsiders of the championship - the Chinese Kunlun. Moreover, this same Kunlun was beaten 4-1 just a week ago. The results of the transfer campaign are not impressive; of the newcomers, only Sergei Plotnikov stably maintains his level, gaining 14 points for performance at the start of the season. There is no need to talk about the traditional championship in the West in recent years, at the moment the army team with 20 points scored are stuck in the middle of the standings, taking only fifth place.
Amur
Khabarovsk people from year to year enter the championship with the same problems. Poor funding, geographic remoteness - these factors affect the ability to carry out full-fledged breeding work, and therefore Amur is often completed on a residual basis. Not without a scandal. Vladimir Vorobyov, who headed the club in the summer off-season, worked only until September 20 and was suspended from working with the team. Cupid was headed by Mikhail Kravets, who worked in Vityaz last season. It would be naive to wait for lightning-fast changes, so the team continues to live in its schedule, where single victories are replaced by a series of defeats.
In late September - early October, Amur was able to win three victories in a row (over Torpedo 4-3, Riga Dynamo 3-2 and Vityaz 2-1), but then habitually lost two matches in a row at home to Traktor 0-2 and 4-5. Now Cupid occupies the penultimate, 11th place in the East, with 11 points scored ahead of only the Chinese Kunlun in the standings.
