Head Coach SKA Romain Rotenberg in a press conference after the victorious match with “Sochi ” spoke about the importance of playing offensive hockey, which players will appreciate.
On Thursday, SKA beat Sochi with a score of 7:4 in the regular season match of the FONBET KHL Championship.
— You started talking about the “shell,” that is, the defensive play of your opponents. But can such victories change the philosophy of the entire league over time?
— It is very important to look at the “green” score. That is, for the team’s attendance, for attracting sponsors and for our fans. Even if we remove the commercial approach, the fans are at the forefront.
You and I understand that if today the score was 0:0 and someone scored in overtime with a shot from above, and the puck entered the goal after four bounces, you yourself understand that such hockey is of no interest to anyone. That’s true, that’s honest.
People will not go to the stands, children will not go to hockey schools. This is a huge team effort between players, coaches and managers. And the referees too, I want to focus on refereeing today. We see progress in every game, it gives us great respect. Everyone works in unison, including the media. It is very important for us to care about our sport and do everything possible to have the stands full at every game. And it doesn’t matter where SKA plays – home or away.
We work a lot with the fans. We are even expecting our support group at the next away match. 300 people will come to Nizhny Novgorod, and it is wonderful. We can only speak for ourselves and not for other clubs. In every match we do our best to play as brilliantly as possible. And so that our hockey pleases our players. We want everyone to have fun! This is very important, “a correspondent reports, according to Rotenberg.
On Saturday, SKA will play in Nizhny Novgorod against Torpedo.
