– Who was your childhood idol? And is there anyone among the coaches you unwittingly admire now?
– I had two idols. Among the defenders – Vyacheslav Fetisov. But since I started my career as a centre-forward, I’ve always loved Mario Lemieux. They are the two greatest hockey players that I have distinguished from the rest. As for the coaches, I had the opportunity to work with several good specialists both in Russia and in Canada. Among them I would single out Zinetula Khaidyarovich Bilyaletdinov. This coach really brought me a lot in hockey and in life,” said Markov.
