Defender of Minsk “Dynamo” Alexei Emelin said he didn’t want to hurt the striker Matvey Michkov .
The meeting of the pre-season tournament Sochi Hockey Open Liga Stavok between Dynamo Minsk and the young Russian ice hockey team (players under the age of 25) ended with a score of 5:3 in favor of the Belarusian club . After a collision with Emelin, who played for Dynamo, Michkov, 17, left the site.
– I didn’t hit him in the knee, it was a pure power grab. I blocked the center, he wanted to beat, and we collided. Do you think I should have missed the player in the middle? They would say that Emelin is no longer the same, he is already old, it is time to write off, the young people are already beating him. It’s a shame if he gets hurt, of course it’s bad. But that’s hockey, if a player goes to the center, he must understand the seriousness of the moment, ”said Emelin on the JT antenna on the channel.
