Roman Rotenberg speaks after game four against Dinamo Minsk away

HC SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg:

- We knew that it was going to be a hard-fought game. Yes, we committed some mistakes, but we fought until the end. We will analyse our mistakes and become stronger. At home, our fans will help us with their fantastic support. No one said that it was going to be easy, Dinamo Minsk are a strong opponent. We have to win our next game in Saint Petersburg.

- Why did you take Damir Zhafyarov and Alexander Volkov out of the line-up?

- We never regret the decisions which we have taken. This was the right decision. We will now consider our options for game five, the guys will return with more determination.

- A lot of journalists expected SKA to cruise through either 4-0 or 4-1, but the series score is now 2-2.

- We aren't reading the media, instead we are focusing on our own game.

- Recently, the head coach of Manchester United forced his players to listen to Liverpool's celebrations after they lost 0:7 in the English Premier League. Will you take similar actions?

- I heard about that situation. We won't reveal any of our secrets, but everything depends on hard work and discipline. This is the playoffs.

- The decisive moment of the series is now beginning. How can you swing the series in your favour?

- We have to roll our sleeves up and get to work.
