Head Coach “Ak Barsa » Anvar Gatiyatulin appreciated the episode with the injury of the Magnitogorsk striker »Metallurgist » Daniel Vovchenko received during the match against Nizhnekamsk”Neftekhimika “during the pre-season tournament.
On Wednesday, in the Ivan Romazan Memorial match, with a score of 2:1 in favor of Metallurg, Ural head coach Andrei Razin took the team to the locker room after Vovchenko was hit by a powerful tackle from Neftekhimik defender Roman Abrosimov and fell unconscious on the ice. The Metallurg hockey player was carried from the venue on a stretcher in a special fixation device. After watching the video replay, the judges found no rule violations on the part of Abrosimov. Metallurg suffered a technical defeat.
— It seemed to me that it was a pure power move. Here, the question is different. These are pre-season matches. Whether it is possible to avoid such moments… But it is clear that the player did not intentionally cause an injury. Purely playful moment. This is my opinion,” Gatiyatulin said at a press conference.
After the match, Vovchenko thanked everyone who was worried about him on his Telegram channel, noting that everything was fine with him.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
