There was a unique atmosphere in Ice. This victory will give us strength. We train a lot, more than anyone. We continue to work.
We are the most retired in the league. We need to improve game discipline. They agreed to throw Sharychenkova “into her pockets”, but they all threw her on horseback, in the belly. There is something to improve.
We have completed the tactics and composition experiments. They didn’t take any risks, the best played. Today we walked out with the team that deserves to make the playoffs. We treat every opponent with great respect, all teams play according to their system and we have to improve our system.
CSKA is a strong opponent, a very organized and systematic team. The changes we made worked today. Next we have the most important game, all without accumulation. Tomorrow we fly to Yaroslavl to play with Lokomotiv,” correspondent quoted Rotenberg as saying.
