Balloons, psychology and life at the SKA Arena: the head coach of the army Razin spoke about the biggest defeat of the season

Head coach of SKA Andrei Razin summed up the match with Spartak (7: 1). He linked the team's success to physical work, explained the decision on the goalkeeper and spoke out about rumors.

The mentor of the army was satisfied with the quality of the game and the fact that at the score of 5: 0 the team did not slow down. Asked about a recent pledge to make players run with gas cylinders, Razin confirmed such work had been done. It helped improve puck control, defender movement and a quick transition from defense to attack, he said.

Separately, the coach touched upon the topic of Sergey Plotnikov, who interrupted his goalless series. Razin stressed that he does not require personal statistics from the forward, and expects from him the game on the result of the team.

“I am more concerned about the result of the team. And the most important thing for me is that every hockey player plays for the result of the team, not for his points, the head coach said.

In addition, Razin denied rumors about the search for a new goalkeeper. According to him, the news about the transfers that appear in the press contain only “0.2% truth”. The mentor also noted that he has already settled in St. Petersburg and rents housing within a 20-minute walk from SKA Arena.
