MOSCOW, September 30 – RIA Novosti. CSKA head coach Sergei Fedorov said that after the defeat of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) in the regular season match with Novosibirsk “Siberia”, the team must come together and fulfill their duties.

The meeting in Moscow ended with a score of 3:1 (1:0, 1:0, 1:1) in favor of the guests. “Siberia” is third in the Eastern Conference table with 16 points in 13 games, and the army team is seventh in the West with 13 points in 11 games.

“It wasn’t a coincidence that I said that[about maintaining the roster last year]. I clearly tell the team that we are in comfortable conditions. We had to be successful for a long time, from the energy to the technical details. The chemistry should be at the top, we should be a good team, but it’s hard to go so far,” added the coach.

Siberia’s head coach, Andrey Martemyanov, said he was satisfied with the match against CSKA.

“Good, fighting game. CSKA showed all their strength, they are a great team. Today we had to play to the maximum. I am very happy that it was a good team game. We played right on defense, we overcame the pressure. We wanted them to play easier when leaving the zone, it worked. The fighting spirit was felt, The team “stealed”. We will prepare for the next game, we have a derby ahead of us,” he said.
