Athletistic / Hockey. Lokomotiv Yaroslavl forward Alexander Radulov spoke about his relationship with the former coach of the Russian national team Oleg Znarok. The hockey player met his mentor not only in the national team, but also in Ak Bars Kazan.
“There have never really been any disagreements, these are just work-related issues. Sometimes something ends up in the media or somewhere else. People add something themselves, start writing their comments.
When Znarok left Ak Bars, we said goodbye warmly and thanked each other for our joint work. At the “Match of the Year” I went into the coaching room, we talked with him, discussed various things. We probably even have photos together, look on the Internet. I think Oleg Valerievich will tell you the same, you can ask him. So everything is fine with us! – the “Championship” quotes Radulov.
When Oleg Znarok was the head coach of the Russian national team, Alexander Radulov was not called up to the national team. Rumors circulated that there was a serious conflict between the specialist and the hockey player.
Alexander Radulov has currently played 631 games in the KHL and scored 701 (245+456) points using the goal+assist system. In the summer of 2024, he signed a contract with Lokomotiv and has previously played in the KHL for Salavat Yulaev Ufa, CSKA Moscow and Ak Bars Kazan.
