The head coach CSKA Sergei Fedorov after the defeat of St. Petersburg SKA During the KHL regular season game, he said his team needs to be patient and continue working to improve the game.
The match took place on Friday in Moscow and ended with a score of 2:3 in favor of Roman Rotenberg’s team.
“It’s a shameful defeat for us.” We cannot accelerate in terms of victories. We can’t yet. I don’t want to say much today. The chances created, unmarked, conceded an unnecessary goal to the majority. There are a lot of positive things, but the result is on the scoreboard. We have to be patient and continue to work and improve our game in all three areas. Especially with the puck.
— The team looked dynamic, the score difference was one goal. The opposing coach said he changed his tactics a lot from the April matches and it worked. What has changed in SKA tactics?
– Thanks for the question, but I’m not going to help you. The focus was on our actions. The opposing team played fast hockey. The puck moved very quickly in our zone. More or less, everything is as usual. Maybe we should pay attention to our actions. It’s hard to blame the guys for anything. We created chances, but games like this happen. We failed to punish our opponents for their mistakes in time.
— In the third period, you started to impose links. What was the idea?
– I will not comment. No thoughts at all. Two lines of the SKA played mainly in attack, two lines performed defensive actions.
— What caused Anton Slepyshev’s absence?
— Anton is slightly injured. We are monitoring this situation. There is no recovery time yet, but the injury is not serious, ”the correspondent reports, reporting Fedorov’s words.
CSKA lost in the championship after three consecutive victories; with 15 points, the army team occupies 6th place in the Western Conference standings. SKA comes next with 14 points.
