Did you expect something like this? Everyone seems in shock.
Probably not since this morning. And during the day, yes. Everything happened quite quickly, I was simply put in front of the facts. So I took my things and went to Novogorsk.
– Many were surprised by your transition also because you are considered an icon of Spartak…
– Spartak, of course, is my home and the team that raised me. Whatever happens, Spartak will remain my home club. But as a professional player, I joined another team and now all my thoughts will be on Khabarovsk, on Love. I will help the team as much as I can, I will fight every game, I will try. I can’t wait to finally come to Khabarovsk and play Platinum Arena. I’ve played there several times, it’s always a great atmosphere. This year we have a serious team, we will solve the tasks. And I wish the Spartak supporters good luck this season. I will watch and worry. Like I said, this is my home team, they will always be in my heart.
– There were cases when the guys refused to go to the Far East. Did you have such thoughts when you heard about this option?
– Well, I have already moved to Love, so all my thoughts are only about Khabarovsk. I’m not going anywhere. It’s not even about me, but about the decision of the leaders, ”Khokhlachev told correspondent.
Amur will kick off the KHL season with an away game against Vityaz near Moscow on September 2.
