Russian hockey player from the French “Grenoble” Romain Liubimov told me what Russian food he missed in France.
“The hardest part is that I’m here without family.” They are still in Moscow, a very long process to prepare documents for a visa. We often speak on the phone with my wife, children and parents. It’s good that Nikita Pivtsakin came here after the New Year holidays, things became easier. They even started playing their own music in the locker room. Our guys play a lot of good French songs, but you have to understand the lyrics for it to be interesting.
I also miss dumplings in France, I really want to eat them. There was a Russian restaurant “Kalinka” in Grenoble, but it closed a year ago. I looked for dumplings in stores and couldn’t find them. Sometimes I cook myself. My wife sends me recipes, I buy the necessary products and I cook.
I alternate, generally, I also go to the restaurant. When there are away matches, we organize team lunches or dinners. When the home series is all alone,” quotes Legalbet Lyubimov.
Lyubimov, 32, moved to Grenoble in November 2023. In the KHL, the player played for Spartak, CSKA, Magnitogorsk Metallurg, Kazan Ak Bars and Khabarovsk Amur.
