Attack “Vityaz” Alexandre Darine told that it doesn’t matter with whom to play on the same line – foreign hockey players or Russians.
Daryin left Torpedo for Vityaz following a swap deal with striker Ivan Vorobyov. Defender Kirill Kirsanov followed in the opposite direction. Torpedo also received monetary compensation. In the 2023/24 season, Daryin has six matches for Torpedo (1 point) and four for Vityaz (2 points).
— You joined a new team during the season and in the first match you faced foreign players, did that surprise you?
— There is nothing unexpected in that: what difference does it make to play with legionnaires or with Russians? We have four well-equipped units, so it doesn’t matter whether you play with foreign or Russian players.
— Wilson and Barak probably don’t understand Russian very well, how can we find a common language?
— Playing with foreigners is a great opportunity to improve your English; I have wanted to address this question for a long time.
— Larionov cited Manchester United hockey players as an example, does Dmitry Anatolyevich (Ryabykin, head coach – approx. ) deal with similar analogies?
“To be honest, I haven’t heard anything like that from him yet, but I can give you the following analogies: I don’t support Manchester United, I support London Arsenal,” Darin told .
