Saint Petersburg head coach S.K.A. Romain Rotenberg summarized the results of the Fonbet KHL Championship regular season game against Spartak Moscow and also explained how he tore his clothes during the game.
On Sunday, SKA defeated Spartak with a score of 6:4. Rotenberg’s team continues to lead the Western Conference standings with 47 points.
– An interesting game, fights, full stands. Delighted fans with a brilliant game. The second period did not work for us, we will work. But in the third period, we were able to pull ourselves together. The guys are great, they finished the setup, got the most important win,” Rothenberg told reporters.
– How does the coach feel during such an exciting match?
– The task of the technical staff is to help the team win. We try to ensure that all players react correctly when errors occur. Our task is to develop players. It was very important for us to win in Moscow. The strongest and most talented team – I’m talking about Spartak.
We had to score more. When you score a lot, the chances of winning increase. We will continue to work to play even more brilliantly in attack. At the same time, close all defense doors and windows. We made mistakes, there is something to discuss. But in the third period, we played according to the system.
– They didn’t give you a validol pack in the locker room?
– Not. Our colleagues go to press conferences with raspberries.
– And what do you associate with the fact that the score 4:2 became 4:4?
– Loss of concentration. And we have a lot of injuries. Here Galimov flew out, we had to play in three links. But our guys have prepared well for the season and are holding their own.
– Why did you replace goalkeeper Nikolaev? For luck?
We don’t play cards. That’s how the game went, and thank God we have reserves. I spoke with Nikolaev after the second half and felt his strength was at the limit. Samonov is a good guy. He came out and gave the team the win, even though everyone tried.
Are you a superstitious person? Do you change clothes? You came to the last press conference with a torn leg. Did you stitch it up?
– When it’s all on fire, it’s not the first time the pants have been ripped for victory. There is no superstition. But we try not to change things when we win. The good is not sought from the good. Although I had to give the pants to a tailor in St. Petersburg, who still sews them for me. It’s not the first time I’ve torn them. And for the first time it was in the playoffs with Spartak. The trouser leg was completely torn.
– Natalia Clark suggested it. Will you release a new product “Victory Ripped Pants”?
— If our fans approve of this, we can come to such merchandising.
