— This is your first season in the KHL. You were given a chance at Spartak. How do you feel in Alexei Zhamnov’s system?
“Two years ago, I couldn’t imagine playing in the KHL. Thanks to the head coach of Khimik, Igor Vladimirovich Grishin, who gave me confidence. I felt his confidence, the match started, I started scoring points. Then I was promoted to Spartak. Here too, in every match, I try to prove myself, to prove that I deserve a place in the team. Thanks to Alexey Yurievich Zhamnov and all the coaches for their trust. I feel it, I try to add more to each match.
— You have been in the CSKA system for a long time. Are matches with the army team fundamental for you?
— Probably, the first match for me against CSKA in October was more important. I wanted to win, and that’s what happened. It’s a shame we lost the second game. We can say that I have a 1:1 draw with CSKA,” Filin told .
