Captain “Ak Barsa” Alexander Radulov after the Fonbet KHL Championship game against “Kunlun” (5:1), in a conversation with a correspondent of , he noted that he likes to watch the matches of the Italian football championship and the matches between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
In Sunday’s game against Kunlun, Radulov scored one goal and one assist.
– It’s very nice to see such Ak Bars beating Kunlun with a score of 5:1. Is it possible to say that now the Kazan club agrees with the game?
“It’s just a game. You just need to work, and the result will come. The coach gives us instructions and we try to respect them.
– At the start of the season, Ak Bars did not have the majority. You are now third in the league in this component. And now you have scored a goal. What has essentially changed?
– They didn’t change anything. We just work, we watch videos, we talk. We try to make the majority stronger through work, to stop more. When this happens, programs are opened and some kind of draw. Most come and go from game to game. It is therefore necessary to leave as charged as possible with each draw. Guys don’t just make the most money. You have to try hard to get there.
– You are very good at hitting the puck when it is thrown towards the goal. This is your signature tip. How to learn it?
– Anything can be arranged. If we talk about this element, you just have to look at the puck and try to play in front of the goalkeeper. Yes, it is not always possible to fix it. But if the goalkeeper does not see the moment of the throw, then as a rule it is a goal.
– In this Eastern Championship, we are witnessing an incredible fight. Even Ak Bars was not included in the playoff zone, and now he can become the first. What does that tell you?
– The fact that the teams have stabilized, there are a lot of good players. Also, no one wants to lose, everyone is trying to take a higher place in the leaderboard. I think it’s great for hockey and for the league, for the fans.
– Ahead of Ak Bars – only three matches with Amur. What’s your life hack, what do you do on a flight to the Far East?
– A lot of time has passed since my last flight there. I hope we prepare and play well there. I see that the teams there are well prepared physically. They play very well, they also fight for the eight. These are difficult matches and we have to prepare for them.
Do you watch football in your free time?
– Now it looks like there will be three derbies in Spain in the next month and a half. I will watch El Clasico. And so, if possible. I watch the Italians. It’s just hard to watch when the schedule is tight. You must constantly seek time to relax. And we are not getting any younger.
This weekend was the NHL All-Star Game. And we had a good star show in Chelyabinsk – you didn’t get there because of an injury. As you got older, how did you start to relate to those vacations?
– The main thing is that the fans like it. The main thing is that they have fun. It’s primarily for them, for the development of hockey. And I think the All-Star Match turned out to be normal – in Chelyabinsk, what they have, ”Radulov told a correspondent.
