Honored hockey coach of Russia Fedor Kanareikin said that Yaroslavl Lokomotiv forward Alexander Radulov performed well in the first game for the new team.
During the offseason, 38-year-old Radulov signed a one-year contract with Lokomotiv. On Tuesday, the Yaroslavl team defeated Metallurg Magnitogorsk (3:2) in the opening match of the FONBET KHL Championship of the 2024/25 season.
— In the first game, we saw the actions that are inherent in him. As always, he controlled the puck well and made finishing shots. It is clear that he still needs to get into new tactical schemes, but it is clear that he is comfortable. The same charge, the same energy. But he began to behave more calmly on the bench and calmly gave advice to his partners. We know how Radulov can cope with himself and the team, but for today, he is comfortable.
It is clear that he is a real leader. He is a leader in energy, a leader in behavior on the field. He is always looking for small gestures that will lead to success, and he burns himself on the field, burns with the team, as before. Of course, Yaroslavl has changed over the summer. Previously, Andronov was a more active player with specific responsibilities, but Radulov is a brighter leader who gives the team a different state, ”Kanareikin told Metaratings.ru.
