Former head coach of the Russian national team Vladimir Pluschev told that he was not observing SKA crisis, despite the unsuccessful series, and the situation will soon return to normal.

— There is no doubt that SKA will qualify for the playoffs?
– What are you talking about? I don’t even doubt it. I think the team has no major problems and everything will be resolved soon. In the playoffs, everything will be fine for SKA,” Plyushchev told .
