Head coach of SKA Romain Rotenberg after the defeat to Kunlun Red Star in the FONBET KHL championship, he spoke about the condition of the injured hockey players of the St. Petersburg club.
The regular KHL championship meeting took place on Sunday in St. Petersburg and ended with a score of 5:4 in favor of Kunlun.
— What is Sergei Andronov’s state of health?
– He trains like all our guys. He is preparing to leave for the next journey. Everyone will go.
— Can we add someone among the injured?
— Kuznetsov will not accompany us on the trip, if that is what you ask. The rest will all fly. And then we’ll discuss it later. Everything heals on Kuznetsov, like on a dog. Maybe now he will say everything is fine and the doctor will say Kuznetsov is ready to play. This is also possible. I just haven’t talked to him yet after the game.
— Was it worth the risk in the middle of the third period with the score 1:4? How carefully do you coach a six-man field situation?
— We usually need to practice and practice again. Fix everything, fine-tune the details. A 6v4 situation is the same as a 5v5 situation. You have to win every battle, every fight, to keep the puck. After losing a joint, you can take the puck into your own goal. This is what happened. This means that we will train so as not to lose fights and fights in the first place.
Of course, the risk was worth it. If we hadn’t missed that fifth goal, we might have won. What, should you have accepted the score of 1:4? How can you score a return goal if you don’t take risks? It’s an eternal conversation about which came first: the chicken or the egg. “We must win battles without getting caught up in counter-attacks,” reports the correspondent, according to Rotenberg.
