Benoit Groux named what broke Traktor's game in the match with Barys

Traktor's second game of the new season did not bring victory; Astana's Barys beat Chelyabinsk on its home field in overtime with a score of 4:3.

Commenting on this match, Traktor head coach Benoit Groux did not hide his disappointment with the actions of his players. In his opinion, Traktor did not work hard as a team, they were scattered a lot, there were unnecessary penalties during the game, for some reason they commented on the work of the referees on the bench instead of just working.

By the way, according to the Traktor coach, it was the penalties that were the main scourge of the Chelyabinsk team in this game. “When you don’t work well enough, you get stupid penalties,” says Benoit Groux. “Today, we got three or four penalties because of this. We can’t afford to play this kind of hockey. Penalties break the pace of the game. We would like to play differently — in a fast-paced, high-speed hockey. Maintain the general rhythm and create chances. And now all this is breaking down because of penalties.”

The Canadian specialist also noted that he assumed that the start of the season for Traktor would be very difficult, and now he sees that his forecast is coming true. Now the team just needs to turn this page and start moving forward.
