Head coach of SKA Romain Rotenberg after the match with Kazan “Ak Barsom “said his team needs to work on discipline and stray less. Today Ak Bars beat St. Petersburg SKA in a regular season home game of the Kontinental Hockey League with a score of 3:2. The decisive goal in overtime was scored by Kirill Semenov.
– SKA have lost six of the last seven matches. Difficult section. How do you explain it to yourself?
– Hockey is a game of mistakes. And when we won seven times in a row? Besides, there were fewer journalists at the press conferences. In other words, no one cares about victories, only defeats.
But you have to go through defeats to win the Gagarin Cup. No team will win every game in a season. It’s impossible. And when a team fights until the end like today, if we can score two goals in three minutes against Ak Bars, who are second in the championship in terms of goals conceded, after Lokomotiv, then we can probably score if we let’s look at the statistics. , and six and seven goals.
Don’t leave. This is the answer to your question. By playing with three players you can win the match. But it’s difficult. How many times have the three of us played today? Let’s start with this. Per minute, against four or five Ak Bars players. We played a lot, didn’t we? About four minutes, probably. And we didn’t miss it. It means the team has character.
Yes, we missed the “3 against 3”, it’s a question of concentration. There was a mistake, the player took a risk when we wanted to score. In this situation, you had to play for the team. That’s all, these are details that need to be improved.
Thank goodness there is no rule in hockey that says every player can be kicked off the team. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for us.
– Emil Galimov still plays in the VHL. Is there really no interest in him in the KHL when looking at trade options?
– Can you ask this question? Emile Galimov ask. We are in dialogue with all the clubs. We have market relations in the KHL. Each player is our asset. We always try to help each of our hockey players. But not to our detriment. We are waiting for proposals. They already were. I won’t say which clubs. But then they called back and said their plans had changed. It’s the market.
Here is the match. A team has already invited Galimov. But their goalkeeper gets injured. Or he suddenly leaves for the NHL. They call back: “Sorry, but we need a guard.” We no longer need a striker. “This is how we work, based on the facts and the situation,” Rotenberg was quoted as saying by a correspondent.
