Defender “Sochi” Maxim Fedotov told that the housing problem forced him and his brother Ilya to settle in different places in the new city.
In July, defender Maxim Fedotov and forward Ilya Fedotov left SKA St. Petersburg for Sochi. The players’ bilateral contracts run until May 31, 2027.
— How did the adaptation go?
— Everything is fine, I will play a lot here, progress, learn something new.
—Again, my brother and I met on the same team.
“It’s more interesting to play with my brother, but I hope our paths will soon separate.” Housing is difficult in Sochi, so we decided to rent one-room apartments rather than live together.
— Back to St. Petersburg for the Puchkov tournament. Do you miss the city?
— I like St. Petersburg, it’s like returning to my hometown. St. Petersburg has a better climate. It’s humid in Sochi, it’s much harder to train. In Sochi, the ice is melting because of the heat and this problem will be solved.
— Few fans go to the matches in Sochi. Will there be a difference compared to the SKA matches?
“We will bring the fans back to the arena so they can enjoy our results.” We must try to reach the playoffs,” Fedotov told .
On Monday, Sochi was defeated by Severstal (4:7) at the Nikolai Puchkov tournament in St. Petersburg. Sochi is sixth in the standings with 1 point; in the last match, the team will play on August 27 against Kunlun Red Star.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
