Rookie”Spartacus » Roman Lyubimov said his game in the Moscow team intended to earn a return to the Russian national hockey team.
Lyubimov’s transfer was announced on May 4. The hockey player signed a two-way contract for one year.
– After the season in Amur, you return to Spartak – is it possible to assume that in Khabarovsk, if you did not restart your career, you at least took a serious step towards this?
– I consider the time spent in Khabarovsk as a good experience, it made me feel good – I had playing time and I think I improved some elements of the game, which benefited the team . When the opportunity arose to return to Spartak, I gladly accepted the offer. Also, my daughter is now going to first grade, so it’s great to be back in Moscow.
– Do you have an answer as to why it didn’t work in Spartak two years ago? What went wrong then and how to avoid repeating the mistakes?
Yes, I tried to analyze it. Perhaps then I did not fully understand my role on the site. I will not pretend, the match did not go at all, “minus 17” is terrible … I will do my best so that the new season in Spartak does not turn out to be a “somersault” for me . First I want to prove to myself that I can come back to the previous level and play the kind of hockey that will be useful to the team.
– Returning to Spartak, why not return to the Russian team – what should be done for this?
– You have to work, be useful to the team – and then everything will be fine! We will fight for a place at the top of the table, and if there are team successes, then the personal ones will come. After all, those whose team plays well are usually called up to the national team – it rarely happens otherwise. So a lot depends on the result of the team, we will try! , – quotes the words of Lyubimov, the press service of the team.
