— We finished the Gagarin Cup final. I rested for a while. And then my representatives turned to Lokomotiv: what are the future plans, how do they see me in the lineup?
Yaroslavl has stated its position that it sees nothing. They didn’t really explain anything to me, and they didn’t tell the officers anything either. They simply said they weren’t interested in working with me any further. And I wasn’t particularly interested in asking unnecessary questions. Maybe their position wasn’t entirely clear to me, but that’s what it is.
I entered the market knowing who I could be of use to. I see the ambitions of SKA, this team is still fighting for the title. I spoke to my agents and told them that I would like to end up at SKA to aim for the Gagarin Cup and play in a good team.
— You met Roman Rotenberg and had a conversation.
— It turns out that Roman Borisovich called me and we talked. He realized that I had an interest in playing for SKA. We understood each other. In my opinion, they saw in me that I could win and help the team. And for me this is the most important thing, that they believe in me, that I can be useful,” Andronov told .
