SKA has come out of the crisis, says former goalkeeper of the hockey team Cherkas

Honored coach of Russia and former goalkeeper SKA Sergei Cherkas reacted to the team’s victory in the match with Severstal in the Fonbet Championship KHL .

The regular season meeting took place in St. Petersburg and ended with a score of 4:1. SKA ended a five-game losing streak.

— SKA started the season with two victories, if you remember. And then a series of defeats began. It was clear that the team was not as fresh as we wanted. In such situations you need patience – to understand, to understand why this is so. We, sitting on the couch, will never be able to identify the reasons. But it was clear that the SKA looked a little heavy. There was a series of defeats.

– Were you waiting for a break?

— My experience as a coach shows this: after four or five matches, when a team falls into a hole, it then begins to recover, grow and win. From the match against Siberia, although SKA lost, it was clear that the military team was gaining momentum. And in the match against Severstal, chances were created for two or three matches. But first of all, Severstal goalkeeper Shugaev played well. Secondly, SKA was unlucky. The opponents did not create anything in the first period, but thanks to the puck bouncing on the board, they scored a goal. Well, that’s what makes hockey interesting.

— Has the SKA emerged from the crisis?

– I think so. And in the next matches, he will show the hockey that the public loves. Although a trip to the Far East is very difficult due to flights and time zone changes.

— In the match against Severstal, SKA coaches entrusted a place in goal to 20-year-old Artemy Pleshkov for the first time. Why do you think?

— This is due to competition in the goalie line. Pleshkov is not very tall, but he skates, moves and reads the game very well. I like that. SKA has a solid team of goalkeepers: Mattsson, Nikolaev, Ivanov. There is a fight for a place in the team. Pleshkov won it,” RB Sport quotes Cherkas.
