Defender “Avant-garde” Anton Belov condemned the mass fight of hockey players in the match of the pre-season tournament against Sochi (6:4).
The fight took place right after kickoff.
– Match Avangard – Sochi. Starting throw. Mass fight. There is a lot of controversy surrounding this performance. Some are horrified, some are happy. Did you have fun?
“Honestly, it was a bit unexpected. Although 10 years ago I was in a team-to-team fight against Vityaz. Then they jumped on our players. For me, these situations are not news. But I didn’t expect that in pre-season. The main thing is that the fans showed their attitude: in Sochi, the whole arena shouted “Vanguard! Vanguard! My attitude on this is it’s a pre-season tournament. Nobody needs that here. You can get injured and ruin the whole season. It’s nonsense. It’s one thing when, at the over the course of a season they ran into a penny, word for word and it was gone. And then… I’m not very positive about that stuff. I know there was a lot of Sirius kids in the stands. What are we going to teach them? It’s better to see how Volodya Tkachev and Bush played the most famous. The beauty is. You can watch this. Kids go to hockey, not MMA. slightly different sports, you don’t you find?
I watched a replay of the first fight. You were looking more to negotiate than to fight.
– It turned out that three people were hanging on Shevchenko. I had to turn on to discharge this battery. If necessary, we can all do it, but in general, fighting is not my favorite pastime. Our team showed itself well, mobilized. I think it will help us in the future. The guys from Sochi came to me several times and said: “I’m sorry for everything that is happening, but you yourself understand everything.” They were embarrassed,” Belov told Sport 24.
36 years Belov – World champion in the Russian national team, as well as double winner of the Gagarin Cup (2015 and 2017) in the SKA.
