Amur forward Alex Galchenyuk summed up the match against Ugra (2:1) at the Chelyabinsk Region Governor’s Cup, noting that the team showed men’s hockey.
For the Belarusian-born American forward, this is the first match for a new team; in May, he left SKA for Amur.
– The main thing is that we won. I didn’t think about whether it was difficult or not. During the first two shifts, it was necessary to intervene. No matter how you train and prepare, the game still cannot be replaced.
— Are you already comfortable in the new team?
— Quite comfortable. We need to work on mutual understanding and we will only get better.
— What do you think is the difference between Amur’s playing style?
— Last season I noticed that it was always difficult to play against this team. A good physical team that plays defensive hockey. The genius is in simplicity. “Amur” shows “playoff” men’s hockey even in the regular season.
— What are your impressions of your collaboration with Andrei Martemyanov?
– Demanding coach. He always speaks honestly: if he played badly, he will say so. Therefore, everything is clear, “Galchenyuk said, quoted by RB Sport.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
