Attack Denis Zernov On he compared the champion teams of Omsk “Avant-garde ” and Magnitogorsk “Metallurgist “
Last season, Metallurg won the Gagarin Cup by beating Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the final series. Previously, the Magnitogorsk club won the trophy in 2014 and 2016. Zernov won the Gagarin Cup with Avangard in 2021
— Maybe in Avangard there were more experienced and skilled guys who had already won a lot, and in Metallurg there were more young people who wanted to win. They are two slightly different teams, but there is something similar in that championship and in this one.
— They said that at Avangard Ilya Kovalchuk played a big role in the locker room. What was it like?
“When such a master comes, everyone looks at him and tries to be like him. In addition, Ilya is a very hardworking person. He always went to the gym before and after training. All the guys, mostly young people and those who did not want to go, also went there, because such a person works. It would be a shame if he went and you did not. It was in such small things that everything came together,” Zernov said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match!” on the channel.
The new KHL season begins on September 3 with the opening match of the Cup between Metallurg and Lokomotiv.
