Offensive Alexander Radulov mentally changed significantly after returning home from playing in USA, head coach says “Ak Barsa” Oleg Znarok.
– How do you rate Radulov? He didn’t have the best season…
– Yes, it doesn’t matter at all. He works very well. Back home, he changed dramatically. There he was the same. What more can we say? On the game he remained the same, but in life he changed. He has matured, perceives many things differently, still children.
– How do you intend to use Zaripov?
– Like everyone. What makes it better than the others? He wants to play himself. Of course, if he gets up and asks for a rest, we will let him rest. But I don’t think that will happen.
– Will he be with Tarasov and Galimov?
For now, we are planning, yes. Add two young people running around him. And Zarya has everything in order with his head, and his hands are golden.
Have you chosen a captain yet?
No, we are still thinking. Anyway, here you go guys…
Semyonov is an ideal third center, one of the best in the league. Will this be your second center?
– Firstly, we do not have, as you say, a first, second or third center. We have a very good team. Think it’s not open yet? He was brought here for certain purposes. How is the third link? He also went for the national team, he was in the NHL.
Do you think anyone will leave the team before the start of the season?
– And everything is already under contract. And take and finish before the season – we never do that.
– Do you think Ak Bars needs an experienced goalkeeper?
– And among the Russian guards, name at least one who would be free.
– Khudobin, conditionally.
– Where is he? Another year in Dallas. Of course, I would have pulled everyone out of there. And Panara, including. But unfortunately they play it.
– What do you think of the comparison with Ak Bars during the lockout, when a dream team gathered here?
Why are you comparing, tell me? So many people came from the NHL. How can you compare it? What is a “dream team”? They gathered only NHL players there. And here are my guys. I read: Kazan, Kazan, Kazan. And what about the other teams that haven’t strengthened?
– Here are the names.
– And there that, not names? CSKA are the champions, look at their team. Avangard picks up, doesn’t it? What about SKA and Magnitogorsk? Why don’t you talk about their compositions? We don’t have a single foreigner.
– There is Radulov.
– Why do you turn on the “fool”? I’m talking about foreigners,” Znarok told reporters.
