“Does it seem to you that the situation in the CSKA locker room is turbulent? When it seems – you need to be baptized “- Fedorov after the defeat of SKA

Moscow Coach CSKA Sergei Fedorov after the defeat of Saint Petersburg S.K.A. in the Fonbet Championship match KHL said the team’s hockey players “everything got out of control,” but noted that the Army team had a calm atmosphere in the locker room.

The teams’ meeting ended on Tuesday in Saint Petersburg with the score of 6 to 2 in favor of SKA.

– It’s hard to call it a game, especially our first half. With such concentration, after conceding such useless goals… Somehow it all fell into our hands today. The start of the game didn’t work out, of course. We will find the reasons, we will analyze. It was a good test for us. This should be a good lesson. We have to draw certain conclusions. I think guys are well aware that the intensity has to be much higher. Especially against an opponent like SKA.

Worry a little, but tomorrow is another day. Let’s get ready for the next game. Opponent – with a victory. Fast and mobile team. They didn’t expect anything else,” Fedorov told reporters.

– SKA scored on your first shot. How badly did that mess up the plans?

– Everything can happen. Our team has some experience to forget these goals and errors. I didn’t think anything special at that time. We have a strong team. But I will tell you with certainty: today the first half was not ours.

– SKA have lost five times in the last six matches. How much did the other team go against you?

– The team that we have always known came out, who always played against us like that. We didn’t watch their defeats. We prepared in regular mode and figured out what today’s match would be like. Our expectations were confirmed. And we lacked concentration at the start. After four goals, it was difficult to do anything. But in the second period, the guys showed character, found the pivots of the game, where they were able to show some skill. And those two goals were a good help in trying to keep playing in the same mode. We created plenty of chances, but we didn’t score, we didn’t get a majority – 5-3 would have been a different score. Sergey Plotnikov ran well there, threw very well. But the goalkeeper was on top.

The score could have been 5:4. The third period was much more interesting. But, unfortunately, we didn’t score those two goals. And I will come back again to the fact that no game – especially in hockey – can be started like that. We gave a very big advantage to a good opponent.

– You put the leaders of CSKA in reserve during the season – Nesterov, Slepyshev … Maybe that’s how the team reacted to these actions now?

– Anton was injured now, and during the game with Spartak we understood that the young defenders would play for us.

– It seems that the situation in the CSKA locker room is turbulent…

– When it seems – you need to be baptized. But you are right that jumping first is not a good trend. The middle of the season is near, but not yet. We still have a lot of good games ahead of us. Of this I have no doubt. We have a strong team. Well, regarding what you’re asking, I think these are technical points that shouldn’t be understood. How we work and what we do. These are our decisions and conclusions. And let me tell you, everything is quiet back home.

– How do you rate the game of goalkeeper Alexander Sharychenkov?

– Sasha came out in a difficult situation. Nevertheless, he played reliably and we planned to bet him on the next game. But today, it just so happens to have come out a bit ahead of schedule. And he helped us to contain the impulse of the adversary. He had a wound, it was healed. Then he worked hard, getting in shape. And now he is practicing to play. We are optimistic for the future, and in the next game I think you will see Alexander in goal.

– Why did the role of Darren Dietz, who scored a lot of points at Barys, change at CSKA?

“I don’t think Darren’s role has changed. Just added the role he should play at CSKA. He was very good offensively at Barys, especially with foreign partners. And at CSKA, defenders have to be defenders. They must also fulfill this role. Darren accepted it, coped with it, played reliably in defense – not to mention his leadership qualities in attack. He has become a two-way player.

CSKA sits second in the Western Conference table with 47 points, SKA (56) leads.
