Defender “Sochi » Maxim Fedotov told that under the leadership of the team’s head coach Sergei Zubov he gains very valuable experience.
During the offseason, following a trade, Fedotov moved from SKA to Sochi, which coaches Zubov. In 11 matches of the FONBET KHL Championship this season, the 22-year-old scored 3 (0+3) points.
— Is Sergei Zubov in his work very different from the time when he was part of the SKA headquarters?
“Then he was an assistant manager, now he’s a head coach. The tasks are already different. But in general, the approach to work is the same. You have to play and not invent superfluous, exorbitant combinations. Do calmly what we are asked.
— How valuable is it for you, as a defenseman, to be coached by a great defenseman who has already been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame?
– It’s very valuable. Zubov, working at SKA, showed the nuances that need to be added. This is taught even in North America and Sergei Alexandrovich shows how to play correctly. “I am grateful for every second, every day that I can learn from such a great defender and be next to such a big NHL star,” Fedotov told correspondent.
Zubov played in the NHL from 1992 to 2009, playing for the Rangers, Pittsburgh and Dallas and winning the Stanley Cup twice.
