Before “Salavat Yulaev » Alexander Khmelevsky said he would like to stay in the Ufa team.
On Monday, Salavat Yulaev defeated CSKA in overtime in the away match of the Fonbet KHL Championship with a score of 4:3. Previously, it was reported that CSKA was interested in Khmelevsky, but all parties denied this information.
– I don’t think about it too much. I play for Salavat, I like it. It’s good that other teams respect me as a good player. But at the moment I am in a good mood to play in Ufa. I was a little surprised by such a wave of rumors about me. I didn’t expect anything like this. I sat at home with no news. But this is just information on the Internet: people have to write something.
– But are you staying?
— Like I said, I want to play for Salavat. It’s not in my hands, but as a player I want to play here. And the news itself, I repeat, I do not control
– Today it was in your head – to do something more to show yourself against the background of CSKA?
— Listen, when you play against CSKA, you are as determined as possible, 100%. How many championships have they already won with this team? It’s always nice to beat a champion,” reports the correspondent, according to Khmelevsky’s words.
