Athletistic/Hockey. Moscow Dynamo General Director Alexei Sopin spoke about the departure of striker Stanislav Galiev to Kazan Ak Bars. The player was traded for Jordan Weale.

“Galiyev’s desire to leave helped to speed up work on the exchange. Yes, of course, it was possible to remind him of the fulfillment of contractual obligations, but what’s the point of clinging to a hockey player who does not want to not be here? He told me and the head coach that he would like to leave. Why would there be a player in the team who does not give 1000%? He should not serve the number, he is a fairly well paid player.

We have Will, he has the exact opposite attitude. He wants to prove himself. We hope Jordan will improve from last season,” Sopin said.
