The head coach of the CSKA team summed up the results of the victorious match in Sochi.
– The game turned out well for our team. We were seriously preparing for the opponent. Under the new leadership, the team plays enthusiastically, actively, quickly. We asked the guys to play the right hockey, according to the schemes that we know. The season is intense, there are a lot of games, there is not much time to train, so we asked the guys to take it seriously. I am happy for our guys who keep both the technical and tactical and emotional sides right.
– What is the reason that there were only three full-fledged fives on the ice today?
– We have several guys who came from the SHL, a couple of the main roster players returned after injuries, and we wanted to give them playing time. We are facing serious matches in Kazan and Nizhnekamsk, we are preparing fully prepared and trying to get all the players into the shape that we would like to see. There is a sports and tactical process.
– Vsevolod Skotnikov has worked his first "goose egg" in the KHL. How was he congratulated?
– In the locker room, we handed him the puck. I am happy for him, he has helped us out more than once. Today, the goalkeeper was not even half of the team, but the whole team.
– Can you summarize the results of October?
– We don't live in calendar moments. In the next 20 matches, we have to take a serious step forward, play reliably, stably, do those things that will allow us to play for results in any match.
