Head coach of the team “Russia 25” Romain Rotenberg commented on the winning match against the Belarusian team in Krasnoyarsk.
On Tuesday, the “Russia 25” team defeated the national team of Belarus with a score of 5:1 in Krasnoyarsk as part of the tour.
– Is there any regret that Arseny Gritsyuk from Krasnoyarsk is not in the squad?
– Arseny and I talked. He couldn’t join us, even though he really wanted to. It was a difficult season. It was not easy to put together a team. Many players have suffered microtraumas. We have played over 100 games. We were joined by guys who are true patriots of their country. We are proud of those who are here.
– The trio (Marat) Khairullin – (Vasily) Glotov – (Pavel) Poryadin stood out with their game. Do you agree that they showed combined hockey? Did the big platform play a role in this?
We always play like that. We always have crossed movements, opening one under the other. It’s in our blood. Everyone played like that today, all four links. The whole team played very well. It was important for the guys to show heroism. They did it.
For the first time this season we played on the court 30-60. It was not easy for both teams. Well done guys – they added with their feet. We play on a clearing of 26 meters, it’s a huge difference. We spoke with Alexander Semins, here, most likely, they will make a 26-60 clearance. Hockey is moving forward, it is important for the public to have more goals. The pitch is an important part of the modern game system.
— (Zakhar) Bardakov and Glotov of Siberia. Can we say that the game in Krasnoyarsk gave them extra motivation?
– For Bardakov, this is the second game in his life in the status of captain. It is very important. The captain led the team behind him, as did Vasily Glotov. Everything is well done today. It’s a team victory.
— Did you like Matvey Michkov in combination with Yaroslav Likhachev? Is this the trace of Yaroslavl?
– Generally Michkov from Perm. I don’t know about the Yaroslavl trace. The winner is not judged, the sense of coaching worked. All units played well. Yes, Likhachev and Michkov played well. Yes, there were times when it was possible to play better in terms of discipline.
– Is it possible to say that the Belarusians were hunting Michkov? He was beaten today.
– The best answer to provocations is the goals scored. He is the leader of the team, the leader is beaten more than the others. Matthew tried to score. We don’t relax. In the next match there will again be provocations and clashes, – the correspondent reports Rotenberg’s words.
