Head Coach S.K.A. Romain Rotenberg after defeating theSochi (5:1) in the home pre-season tournament game explained the large number of deletions and also commented on the new contract Alexandra Nikishina and game Dmitry Buchelnikov .
– A good game, a lot of fans, to whom we are very grateful. We tried to play as much as possible from the first minutes. Well done guys – they finished the installation, played for each other. Getting ready for the next game.
– Three out of four matches have been played, the composition remains almost unchanged. Does that mean you know who will start the regular season?
– Everyone is getting ready, everyone is in the cage, every player is needed. Today we played like that, tomorrow we will see. We trust every player. There were heavy training camps in Novogorsk, in the mountains, there are microtraumas, changes in the composition can be associated with them. What works well, it does not change, we do not seek the good of the good. We will analyze the game, watch it, discuss it with doctors, coaches and make a decision on the line-up for the next game.
– A large number of eliminations are due to the players’ huge desire, or conversely, a loss of concentration.
– We had an arbitration meeting yesterday. KHL Chief Referee Alexei Vladimirovich Anisimov told us that the new rules, that there will be clean hockey, that they will remove a small foul, dirty tricks behind the scenes that prevent skilled hockey players to play. Probably, not everyone has adapted to these new inputs. We have to pay attention to the discipline of the game, work more with our feet, play more for the team. We need to remove unnecessary deletions – it’s one hundred percent, we’re working on it. In anticipation of the next match, it is very important.
– Nikishin immediately began to draw up a new contract …
— It is very important for us to keep our players with whom we go into battle. Alexander is one of our leaders. We are very happy that he is staying with us. At the same time, we work and develop every day. Hockey is a game of mistakes. We will work every day so that Alexandre becomes better and better, like all the other guys in the team. There is constant development. As they say, you have to win the fight with yourself to progress on a daily basis and become the best version of yourself tomorrow. We are very happy that Alexandre is with us. We hope that three years is not the limit. Let’s look at the situation. The game will show, the training will show. We believe that Alexander will demonstrate his best qualities in every game, play to win.
– How satisfied are you as head coach with Buchelnikov’s progress? Does he now have a chance to break into the main team?
– Everyone has a chance, Dmitry is already playing. I came out a lot in this game. Was given the game in the first links, played a lot in the majority. At the same time, there were penalties, other points that deserve to be worked on, there is food for thought. Of course there is a chance, like all guys. All the guys understand there is competition, but competition drives progress, so they strive to work their hardest every shift, play to win. Everyone is needed, everything is in the clip.
SKA leads the Puchkov tournament standings with six points. Sochi have yet to score any points.
