Attack Kunlun Red Star Nail Yakupov said he had no problems adjusting to the new team.
Tuesday “Kunlun” beat “Sochi” with a score of 5:2 in the pre-season tournament named after Nikolai Puchkov in St. Petersburg. Last season, Yakupov played for Neftekhimik.
— How successful was the Puchkov tournament for the team?
– It’s hard to judge. Some played, some didn’t, there were different combinations. The coaches’ task was to find an approach for everyone on the ice. On our side, we had to get into the rhythm of the game. We finished the tournament on a good note and are going home in a good mood to continue preparing for the season.
— How did you adapt to the new team? Who do you communicate with?
— I communicate well with everyone. I already knew someone, I never had problems adapting. I have no problems with English, I communicate well with both guys and coaches.
— What does (head coach) Kravets focus on when preparing the team for the season?
– Like all teams. The attackers score, the defenders receive, the goalkeeper catches. Every game will be different. We will make adjustments depending on the opponent,” the correspondent reports, according to Yakupov’s words.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
