The head coach S.K.A. Romain Rotenberg spoke about the team’s preparation for the first round of the KHL Fonbet Championship playoffs.
On March 1, the St. Petersburg club will play the first home game of the playoff series with Dynamo Minsk. This season, the Rotenberg team won the Continental Cup.
– We are seriously preparing for the first series, a serious training process. We are working as usual, preparing for the first game. We think of nothing else. The opponent has a solid coach Woodcroft, a coaching dynasty, his brother works in the NHL. You saw how this coach beat the Russian team. We have no other thoughts, only about our first match. We are refining the tactical moments, refining the details. We look at the formation process, we live a day. Today we are satisfied with the training, the guys worked with great dedication.
We are waiting for our fans in the stands. When we played in the Gagarin Cup final, we had 300,000 applications. When we have full stands it means we are playing well and moving in the right direction. We appreciate that. We play for the fans.
We will take stock of the results by the end of the season, we have turned the page on the regular season. It all depends on our desire and our motivation. When we won the Gagarin Cup in St. Petersburg, many players and managers had no experience, but that doesn’t matter. We build on the strengths of every player and live for today,” the correspondent quoted Rotenberg as saying.
