Head coach of Magnitogorsk “Metallurgy” Andrei Razin shared his expectations for the upcoming work with the former striker of the Russian national football team Andrey Arshavin at the Continental Hockey League All-Star Game (KHL ).
Arshavin will be an assistant to the Kharlamov division team under the leadership of Andrei Razin. Earlier it became known that Alexander Mostovoy and other former players of the Russian national team – Andrei Arshavin, Roman Shirokov and Dmitry Sychev – will participate in the All-Star Game. During his professional career, Arshavin played for London Arsenal.
The Fonbet KHL All-Star Game 2023 will take place on December 9-10, 2023 in St. Petersburg at the SKA Arena.
— The other day it was announced that during the All-Star Game you will work with Andrei Arshavin as an assistant. How will you distribute responsibilities?
– Let’s work together. I will be very happy to find myself next to such a great footballer, one of the few who reached great heights not only in Russia, but also in England, and the English championship is one of the best. It will be nice to stand there and take pictures, I guess. It’s an honor because our football players are more famous than hockey players. Maybe they will recognize me more once I am next to him (laughs),” Razine said on the official website of “Metallurg”.
Earlier on Monday, Metallurg extended their winning streak to eight matches by beating Sibir (4:1). Andrei Razin’s team leads the Eastern Conference with 48 points.
