Attack “Metallurgist” Pavel Akolzin noted that he was satisfied with everything in the Magnitogorsk team and did not consider other options for furthering his career.
In total, 32-year-old Akolzin has 356 games in the KHL, in which he scored 73 (40 + 33) points.
– Your third season at Metallurg, your contract has been extended. Were the negotiations difficult and how does it feel to continue your career at Magnitogorsk?
– I am satisfied with everything at the club: both the management and the team. No option is considered, immediately accepted.
– How unusual and difficult is the pre-season under Razin’s leadership?
– Exceptionally – cylinders, vests, elastic bands. The first week was exhausting. The coach immediately warned us that it would be difficult, so that we were ready to bear such loads. All the guys did a good job, Andrey Vladimirovich noted that they did a good job. And after that it was easier, the exercises went on tactics, on technique. The collections are good, I liked everything. Endured with dignity.
— Have you managed to adapt to the new requirements?
“I still keep doing it. We are rebuilding, Razin has completely different requirements. We watch the video, we analyze the errors.
– What style will metallurg Razin have?
– It seems to me that he transferred his style from Severstal here. There will be control of the puck, concentration on the goal. It requires such play on our part. The season will tell, – quotes the words of Akolzin Metaratings.ru.
The new KHL season will kick off on September 1 with the Cup opener between CSKA and Ak Bars.
