“Dynamo” is a very strong, disciplined opponent. For us, this game was very difficult. I am grateful to the team for the character, for the fulfilled requirements. It was important to start the season with a win, we have a lot of newcomers. Many of them played for SKA for the first time. Without playing tone, it was not easy to show leadership qualities. I am convinced that you will see an even better picture of the game from SKA,» Rotenberg said.
When asked about Dynamo's quick goal, the SKA coach replied: «The opponent took advantage of the moment when our player, who had lost his blade, went to change. There was some «damn it». As for the opponent's game, in some moments it has changed. But it's hard to surprise us. We watched all the Dynamo games at the Moscow Mayor's Cup, watched a lot of videos. Without it, nowhere.»
