Novosibirsk attacker “Siberia” Georgiy Belousov spoke about his childhood friend, attacking him Artemia Panarine who plays for the NHL club New York Rangers .
Belousov and Panarin were born in the town of Korkino.
— Your friend Panarin came to Russia this year. Have you met him?
— Yes, in Chelyabinsk we met in Gagarin Park and talked. He is fine.
— Were you surprised by its updated appearance?
— At first, the boys told me: “We saw Panarin, he’s bald!” I say, “You mean bald?” He had hair! I couldn’t believe it, some kind of joke or something. He comes in and is really bald. I said to him: “What are you, a prisoner? We laughed, he understands the jokes. He said he wanted to change his image. I put my cap on and everything was fine.
— Did they still recognize him in Chelyabinsk?
— Yes, in the park, we recognized Gagarin, even bald. They came to take photos three or four times. I think with his hair it definitely would have been torn there.
— Has he changed during his life in America?
– He’s a simple guy. It’s hard for me to say if he’s changed. He has a completely different life. He spends most of his time in America and comes here on vacation. Now they communicate less, he still has a phone number that he can neither add nor reach. He’s such an oddity that he walks around with a push-button phone and has fun. I’m not going to call him in America. He has a lot of money – let him call.
— Are you taking a break from the Internet?
“I think he’s taking a break from everything.” Doesn’t want to read anything, no news. I just abstracted myself from everything. He only thinks about hockey. So he came, and I said to him: “Do you know where this or that restaurant is? – “I don’t know” – “How are you going to do it?” – “I will stop two or three times and ask passers-by.” That’s how he got there: he stopped several times and asked people. On the other hand, it is correct. Well done, he finds ways to develop the brain, ”quotes RB Sport Belousov.
