Athletistic/Hockey. Striker Stanislav Galiev, who returned to Ak Bars after a season at Dynamo Moscow, answered the question of whether the Kazan team could be considered favorites in the fight for the Gagarin Cup in the new season.

“It’s hard to judge in the summer, but we have a very good name team, even the backbone of the 2018 league season remains. Vasya Tokranov is back.

The atmosphere in the locker room is generally bombarded, everyone is teasing each other. Without atmosphere, teams can’t win, but now Ak Bars has it all. I really want the Gagarin Cup,” Tatar-inform said citing Galiyev.
