“I understood what was happening. We discussed it at CSKA and many Russians in the team shared this opinion. But, of course, there were many different points of view.
I didn’t want to find myself without a team and without the possibility of a transfer if CSKA decided to keep my transfer card. So I decided to go back. I think I would make the same decision today.
I think it is wrong that KHL players are not allowed to join the Swedish national team. I believe I deserve the right to be part of this team. This is of course a subject of discussion, but perhaps the association should not abandon players playing in the KHL,” Reideborn was quoted as saying by the Aftonbladet newspaper.
