The head coach S.K.A. Romain Rotenberg explained the defeat Locomotive a large number of thefts of his team.
On Friday, the St. Petersburg team lost to Lokomotiv in Yaroslavl 2:3 in the Fonbet KHL championship match.
– We now have a whole life in airplanes. Of course, it’s not easy for guys – their legs are heavy. It’s physiology, there’s no getting around it. I want to thank my team. The guys are great today. Character shown, played to the end. Not enough freshness to score in an empty net.
– It looks like Nikishin behaved rudely after the dismissal date. What do you think?
– Rudeness and dirtiness are not necessary in hockey. There must be pure hockey with fair umpiring. I would like to thank the referees who came after the first elimination of Ilya Fedotov and declared that this elimination did not take place. This is progress – you have to admit your mistakes. We are all developing. Referees will work better, coaches will train better, hockey players will play better. Any method is good to win, but our philosophy is to play fair and kick in any situation. Yes, you can put yourself in the shoes of an opponent, it’s part of the sport. But don’t walk away. We have to remove the deletions – it’s a game discipline.
But I repeat: we have our fourth away game, Lokomotiv’s third at home. I know they had days off, they were seriously preparing for the match with us. The opponent was cooler. However, our guys, against a background of fatigue, showed the quality of the game. Yes, there were mistakes, we will analyze them, we will improve everything. But if we play like that, we add envy, our legs will come back, we will score in an empty net – and the result will come,” Rotenberg said as quoted by the SKA press service.
The Saint Petersburg club suffered a second consecutive defeat. Previously, SKA lost to Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod (3:4).
