— How did you react to Andrei Razin’s words addressed to you at the press conference?
– Let him say what he wants. I don’t mind, that’s his opinion. For God’s sake! I don’t react to such statements, I’m above it.
— Did your team contact the injured Daniil Vovchenko and wish him health?
“I only wish him health through .” Information about his condition will probably come now. The situation was twofold. On the one hand, it seemed to be the right decision. On the other hand, it is clear that the person was seriously injured. This is hockey, it happens. I do not justify either Vovchenko or Abrosimov. This happens in our sport when people get excited.
Everyone tries to play fair. Nobody was rude or impolite. We try to play fair, within the rules. But if that happened, should I make excuses for the player? What should I do?
– Even if you think Abrosimov is right, you need to call Vovchenko and tell him: “Sorry, it happened.”
– Roman will surely call. The match has just ended. Why rush after him in Magnitogorsk when everything is electrified there? The opponent will perceive every action of ours as a provocation. When everything calms down, we wish Vovchenko good health. Let’s meet and discuss everything. Don’t just make things hysterical. This is hockey, not figure skating, “Leontiev told .
