Athletistic / Hockey Honored Russia coach Vladimir Plushev has slammed Russian national team head coach Alexei Zhamnov’s recent statement that he was not interested in watching World Cup matches without the Russian team .

“Here Zhamnov said now that he didn’t watch the World Cup in Finland at all. But you are the coach of the national team, there are rivals against whom you will still have to play one day.

And Zhamnov even brags about it: they say, I’m not watching, I’m not interested. But did the national team under his leadership perform an exceptional match at the Olympic Games? 1:0 – with some, 1:0 – with others! They snuck in with the Swedes for a lean! Sport Weekend quotes Plyushchev.

Recall that the Russian team missed the ice hockey world championship in Finland in May this year due to suspension. The champions were the hosts who beat Canada in the final (4:3 OT).
