Head coach SKA Romain Rotenberg after the championship match KHL With “Lokomotiv” said his team made a number of mistakes and also recalled that they played in the minority much more often than their opponent.
On Monday, SKA beat Lokomotiv (4:3 OT). Alexander Nikishin scored the winning goal in overtime.
— Congratulations on your 200th KHL game. How did you manage to win the second half against Lokomotiv? It’s rare that someone succeeds. Also, how would you rate the performance of the special teams?
— In our game as a whole, there are some mistakes. It is clear that they exist: we conceded three goals. But special teams today… Let’s remember how many times we played in the majority today.
We have to analyze the game like hockey. I even took the statistics with me. We only had the majority for two minutes and 30 seconds. That’s all. In other words, we played seven times more in the minority than Lokomotiv. Seven times!
What conclusion do we draw? This means that we played well in the minority. And in the majority too. That’s all, thanks.
— Khairullin and Demidov disappeared during the match. What’s wrong with them?
— There are some injured, unfortunately. This is our in-house kitchen. But no one was missing. Thank God everyone is alive and well. Get ready for the next match. But we always play to the limit, dice against dice. A strong opponent. I hope Marat Khairullin returns for the next match. Well, Vanya Demidov plays for us in every match,” Rotenberg was quoted as saying by correspondent.
On Monday, Rotenberg played his 200th career KHL game as a head coach.
