Head Coach SKA Romain Rotenberg said the chief’s decision Severstal Andrei Kozyrev Not coming to press conferences during the pre-season tournament named after Nikolai Puchkov does not look good in hockey.
On Tuesday, SKA beat Severstal (5:3). Two days earlier, the St. Petersburg team won against Ak Bars (4:3 G).
SKA took the lead in the tournament standings with 6 points, while Severstal finished the tournament with 4 points.
— Why didn’t you go to the press conference after the previous match against Ak Bars?
— Sometimes management challenges you on the subject, then on other priorities.
[Главный тренер «Северстали»] Andrei Kozyrev does not attend press conferences at all. You’d better ask him these questions, why he treats journalists so disrespectfully. I will be happy to come to you if I have the opportunity.
Andrey Kozyrev makes such decisions himself. This does not reflect well on our hockey. You have to go to press conferences and talk to journalists, no matter how good the coach is. But what did he win? Let’s ask a question. He probably beat SKA once at the SKA Arena,” a correspondent reports, citing Rotenberg’s words.
The tournament will end on August 29 with a meeting between SKA and the Russian Olympic team.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
