Motorist goalkeeper Vladimir Galkin believes that it will be difficult for the Yekaterinburg team to win the Gagarin Cup this season.
“Motorist” after scoring 42 points in 39 matches and occupies seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings of the Fonbet KHL Championship.
— Sergei Chirokov said that Avtomobilist is ready to break the stereotype that it is not a cup team. Do you agree with him?
— Every season, we think about it. It’s hard for me to say why it didn’t work before; I am neither a manager nor a head coach. My job is to help the team win. I think the management analyzes, understands the reasons and improves the team every season to achieve results. I want to achieve something and, God willing, I will succeed this season. I think Avtomobilist will at least win some medals. The Gagarin Cup is a difficult task for the team, for this the stars must align, and medals are quite possible.
— Would you like to make a gift for the city’s anniversary? Yekaterinburg turned 300 years old.
“We don’t even think about this anniversary.” I just want to please the fans, the city loves hockey. If we dream of winning the Cup, then the people of Yekaterinburg will be very proud of this and will rejoice in it for a long time,” Galkin is quoted in RB Sport.
