Double Olympic hockey champion Vyacheslav Fetisov on he said that he would attend the matches of the Fonbet KHL championship and support Ilya Kovalchuk referred to “Spartacus “
On December 6, 40-year-old Kovalchuk signed a contract with Spartak until April 30, 2024.
— There are times when an athlete feels like he didn’t finish the match. This also remains for life. Maybe we should say today that Ilya Kovalchuk probably dreamed of winning the Stanley Cup. He thinks about it. And it’s clear that he came back, again, not for money, but because he didn’t complete the game.
I know for sure that muscle memory in athletes at this level very quickly allows the body to remember everything associated with stress, recovery and everything related to physical condition.
Recovery is such a thing, it doesn’t require age-related definitions, so to speak, but rather how much your body has trained over the years. I think once he gets into this rhythm of play, everything will be fine. Here the skill of the trainer and interaction with Ilya will help to find this algorithm.
I will go to the stadium and support Ilya. Maybe I’ll even buy a T-shirt with his name on it. “I’m sure it’s more than the return of a great hockey player,” Fetisov said in a special report by Egor Gelver, “A Study in Red and White.”
Kovalchuk last played in the KHL in late April 2021, when he won the Gagarin Cup with Avangard Omsk. He also played in Russia for Ak Bars Kazan, Khimik near Moscow and SKA Saint Petersburg, with whom he twice won the Gagarin Cup.
