Guardian of Siberia Anton Krasotkin believes that the fans and hockey players of the Novosibirsk team have long deserved to win the Gagarin Cup.
Last season’s Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) FONBET Championship “Siberia” did not reach the playoffs.
— Many hockey players say that Novosibirsk fans are special. What exactly makes them different?
“That year, we were not often able to show a good and spectacular game, but despite that, there was enthusiasm in almost every game we played. In other words, people love hockey very much, are very concerned and support us. Many thanks to them for that.
— Is this the city with the most hockey?
— In my practice, yes. Because people have been caring about the team for a long time and it deserves big victories. The stadium is always full, they always make noise and support us. You see a lot of people in the streets wearing the hockey club’s symbols. In other words, the city lives off hockey.
— Other players say that when they hear “Hello, Siberia!” during the anthem, you get goosebumps all over your body.
– Yes, every time, like the first one. It’s such a nice responsibility to have so many people care about you.
— What do you dream of achieving with Siberia?
— The main goal is to win every match and thus, step by step, become better every day. And of course, strive to achieve more global goals. Right now, it is the Gagarin Cup. I believe that the fans of “Sibir” deserved it a long time ago, and so did we, as hockey players, “Krasotkin told RB Sport.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
