Cheeky”Sochi » Matvey Michkov said he was starting to communicate better with the striker”Avant-garde » Ivan Miroshnichenko after a fight during a Russian junior team training session.
Michkov and Miroshnichenko argued during the very first training session at the training camp during the preparations for the Youth Olympic Games, which took place in January 2020 in Switzerland.
A lot of people become friends after fights. Everyone knows the case of your fight with Vanya Miroshnichenko in national team training. Did this episode change your relationship in any way?
– Our relationship with Vanya is very good and has only grown stronger. In fact, our common history in the Russian national team began with this fight. After that, we won the Youth Olympics, played together at the world championships and other tournaments. Since then, we have maintained friendly relations, we communicate closely. He recently scored his first KHL goal. I am very happy for him! He’s a really good guy, – Sport24 quotes Michkov.
– Do you have an absent rivalry with him? Miroshnichenko after the Avangard goal said: “Unless we compete in our thoughts.”
– I do not have. I just want to wish Vanya all the best and as many goals as possible in the future. Rivalry? Only in hockey, maybe, but not in life. We welcome debuts, goals.
– These days, the World Youth Championship is taking place in Canada. And it should have been in Russia. And you were supposed to play there with Miroshnichenko. Do you often think about this?
– I will not tell. It is of course a pity that it was not possible to participate in such a tournament. Our task is to go on the ice, and if for some reason this cannot be done, it is not up to us, which means we should not dwell on it.
In the current season, Michkov in the Fonbet KHL Championship played three games for SKA St. Petersburg without scoring, then was loaned to Sochi and scored a dropped puck in two games.
