Vladimir Fedosov: "Discipline is key"

- Did you watch Russia's World Cup match?

- Yes, I think that all Russian ice hockey professionals and fans watched the game. It was an historic occasion.

- While watching, were you following SKA's players?

- I was keeping an eye on everyone! They were a bit unlucky. Sweden didn't let us play, they were excellent in defence. Russia couldn't create anything in attack.

- Moving back to the KHL, will this be a tough game against Avtomobilist?

- All games are tough because opponents are 150% ready to play against SKA. Everything depends on ourselves.

- SKA lost in Yekaterinburg last year. What makes Avtomobilist a dangerous team?

- We had a long conversation with Pyotr Vorobyov before training. Avtomobilist's committment is key. They have a fast, determined team which skates hard and sticks to the game plan. They have no stars, but everyone works for each other.

- What will be the most important aspect for SKA?

- Discipline! During the past few games, we have taken too many silly penalties. We were lucky that Severstal don't have quality players, however when we played Ak Bars, we conceded four goals which ended the game.
