Offensive “Spartacus” Kirill Kojevnikov in an interview with a correspondent, he spoke about the first goal in the KHL and his attitude towards the legend of the Reds-Whites Alexander Kojevnikov.
On Friday, Spartak lost to CSKA in the home match of the KHL Fonbet Championship (2:4). Kozhevnikov opened the scoring in that encounter with his first KHL goal.
“It’s always a pleasure to score,” Kozhevnikov said. – There was a shot, the puck bounced off the goalie’s pad, I’m done. I would have liked to have more, but it is not the case. We will work further.
– Did you expect to play the derby against CSKA? Still, you haven’t played many games for Spartak yet.
– There is no big difference – CSKA or another opponent. I don’t care who to play with.
– Spartak have improved under a new coach, but you failed to beat CSKA for the second time in a week. Why?
– We were spoiled by the elimination of the game. At equal game, we were a little unlucky.
– Aren’t you a relative of Spartak legend Alexander Kozhevnikov?
No, but of course I know who it is. I would like to be like him. It’s very nice to play hockey for Spartak with such a surname.
– Do you have an idol among modern players?
I try to take a little from everyone. More specific? Sanya Khoklachev.
– How do you find the KHL after the Kazakhstan championship?
– There is also a good league, although the speed is a bit higher here. But young players can also progress there. And he returned to Russia, because he concluded a contract in Saryarka and received an offer from Khimik.
The 23-year-old striker started this season at Khimik, and before that he played in the Kazakhstan league for Saryarka for two years. In the KHL, he had played only five games before this season – for HC Sochi and Ugra.
