Head coach of SKA Romain Rotenberg after the FONBET KHL Championship match against Chinese Kunlun, he discussed the distribution of playing time between the team’s goalkeepers.
On Monday, SKA lost to Kunlun on the road in overtime with a score of 1:2. This is the third consecutive defeat for the Army team. In this match, SKA’s goal was defended by Pavel Moisevich.
— Pavel Moisevich played in goal. How do you judge his return after the Kharlamov Cup final?
— If we take the good thing in this match, it is the performance of our goalkeeper. Absolutely phenomenal. Of course, we don’t want to praise young players. But we also congratulate Ivan Vydrekov, who scored the first goal today. Also a young player and leader of the SKA-1946 team, which won the Kharlamov Cup.
Unfortunately, Moisevich was injured earlier. We already wanted him to play a lot of games this season. However, he had very good statistics that season. It’s just a game. We wish him to remain stable and continue to improve his game. He has a crazy level and very good potential. But these are young people who cannot be praised, I repeat. We continue to work. The situation is improving in this regard. We have four strong goalkeepers, that’s worth a lot.
— You now have three young goalkeepers and an experienced Nikita Serebryakov. How will time be divided between them?
— We need all the players. We have a long way to go. After the first playoff series last season, 10 players were injured in collisions. It was a difficult series. So you must be ready to face any situation. We continue to train. We are happy even with those who do not play. They will all play. Everyone will play!
I want to give an example. The Vegas Knights won the Stanley Cup last season. Their fourth goalkeeper won the cup. Their fourth goalkeeper played in the final. Everyone was hurt because… So we need all the guys,” reports a correspondent, according to Rotenberg.
SKA suffered a third consecutive defeat. The St. Petersburg club with 32 points occupies the second place in the Western Conference standings, Kunlun (18) is in tenth place.
In the next match, SKA will host Sochi on November 7 and Kunlun will host Severstal Cherepovets a day later.
