— Comment on the future of your goalkeeper Nikita Serebryakov.
— All of our hockey players, including goaltenders, are just players. Five outfield players, the sixth is a goalkeeper, but he is also a player. And if we want to win games, all of our hockey players must play selflessly and work hard in practice.
We have Maxim Anatolyevich Sokolov, who has been the goalkeeper coach since this season. Yes, we changed the goalkeeper coach. And it’s a difficult task, you know, to find a winning goalie.
Did Daniil Isaev win the Gagarin Cup at Lokomotiv? But he is a very strong goalkeeper. Yes, he became the best goalkeeper of the season. But I’m talking about victories. Let’s discuss the fact. I want to compare. I respect Isaev a lot, he’s actually a very strong goalkeeper. He plays a lot in the Russian national team and always helps us.
The question is: look: who won the Gagarin Cups? Ilya Nabokov of Metallurg. Who believed in him anyway? Person. Initially, all respected journalists wrote that he was too young and would never win anything.
A 19-year-old goalkeeper can also win. Or if he’s 20 years old. Look at all previous seasons, who won the Gagarin Cups? This is Ivan Fedotov – where is he now? Not in the KHL. He left, unfortunately.
Where is Adam Reideborn? He’s not in the KHL. Where is Shimon Grubets? Where is Ilya Sorokin? No. I’m not trying to choose the best player, it’s subjective. But you have to be objective, and I’m talking to you about winning goalkeepers.
And we all need to train these guardians together. And competition is the engine of progress. Nikita Serebryakov is part of the team, coached by Maxim Sokolov. And then time will tell,” Rotenberg said, as quoted by the correspondent.
