Former Arsenal striker Andrey Arshavin said his Liverpool poker at Anfield was more valuable than a goal scored in the Fonbet KHL All-Star Game final.
The 14th KHL All-Star Game took place this weekend at the SKA Arena in St. Petersburg. The winner of the tournament became the team from the Kharlamov division, which defeated the team from the Tarasov division in the final. Arshavin played the match for the winning team and scored a goal.
“I had no responsibility and I did not see Andrei Vladimirovich (Razin) giving me any instructions. I only divided the guys into groups of three, and the others, they know and can do everything themselves.
—Where did you learn such grading skills?
— I wouldn’t say I’m good at skating. But I started practicing this sport three years ago. I don’t even play hockey, I just started ice skating. It was purely for me, and now I scored in a KHL game. So imagine how happy I am!
— Didn’t you have the choice to get into veteran football?
– Absolutely not.
— Poker for Arsenal or a goal in the KHL All-Star Game final?
“Poker for Arsenal, of course,” reports the correspondent, according to Bystrov’s words.
