Head Coach”Sochi » Sergei Svetlov admitted his team was totally unprepared for the showdown with defending KHL champion Moscow CSKA .
On Sunday, Sochi lost to CSKA in the home game of the KHL Fonbet Championship with the score 0:6. The Army team put together a suboptimal squad for this encounter, but that didn’t stop them from knocking on the doors of Maxim Tretiak six times, who returned 40 shots at the same time.
“We were preparing for a meeting with the champion, who showed very high quality play in the last matches,” Svetlov said. — But CSKA did not face the speed today. The army team was in front of us in all positions. Thanks to the teachers for this tutorial. In their context, you can immediately see who we are. We have seen what problems we have, we will solve them slowly.
– Why didn’t they change Tretiak during the game?
– It was not the goalkeeper who made mistakes, but the team. Therefore, we decided to let him play until the end.
– What is the first thing you work on after leading the team?
– Above tactics. I try to incorporate them into my game system. I want them to start playing hockey more actively and aggressively. Especially in his area, under the gate. We will continue to work on this.
