general manager “Tractor” Alexey Volkov said the team needs to get a defenseman with a good grip before the start of the new KHL season.
– How is the adaptation going in the new club?
“Adaptation is in full swing. I am very happy to join Traktor. It’s a very good, rather ambitious organization. I really liked the reflection and the challenges offered to me by the management. That’s why I’m here.
– What are the difficulties at work?
– So far, none, everything planned is going as usual, nothing out of the ordinary happens, you get used to it. Everyone looks at the new technical staff, the staff looks at me, I look at everyone, taking into account my position. Completely normal workflow. We communicate adequately, no ranks, we are in a normal working mode.
– What are the transfer targets at the moment?
– We want to be reinforced by a defender with a straight grip, which would give us the possibility, so to speak, of the variability to get out of his zone. Perhaps he would be effective in one of the majority brigades. It must be a foreigner. At this stage, two people have failed so far, with whom we have had quite serious negotiations. While at the moment we are talking with the others.
– What is the team not working on yet?
– We would like to quickly pass the middle zone. We have unjustified losses that must be eliminated before the season. There is always room to complete the brigades of the majority. We will now go home, we will train these aspects and we will continue to prepare for the championship.
– Rodion Amirov is deceased. How do you remember him?
– Brilliant personality. And, probably, God takes the brightest at such a young age. Unfortunately, we wanted Rodion with us, but he left. The kingdom of heaven, rest in peace for him, strength for his parents and loved ones, – Metaratings.ru quotes Volkov.
On Monday, the death of Amirov, 21, was reported by officer Dan Milstein. In February 2022, the then 20-year-old hockey player was diagnosed with a brain tumor; in April of the same year, the player underwent chemotherapy courses.
In the first game of the new season, Traktor will face Lada Tolyatti on September 2 on the road.
