Head coach Kunlun Red Star » Mikhail Kravets said he wants striker Nail Yakupov, who joined Avangard, to stay in his career at a certain level.
On Saturday, following a trade, Yakupov moved from Chinese Kunlun Red Star to Avangard, signing a contract until the end of the season.
— After Nail Yakupov leaves, will you look for someone to replace him?
— It’s too early to talk about it. Hope. We need a striker. And not one, but several people. I hope that after this sale we can use the money we earned to have new players join our team.
— Will the team miss him?
— Nail woke up. Because every day I spent a lot of time in the gym and on the ice. It is also the merit of our management to have integrated him into the team, to have believed in him, to have encouraged him and to have given him the opportunity to play as he knows how. In other words, we all helped him together. Of course, we will miss him, he scored a lot, he was an important person in the locker room. But that’s life, we wish Nail good luck, so that there are no more such falls into the very abyss, when you have to spend so much energy to recover and get up from it. You always have to be at a certain level,” reports the correspondent, according to Kravets.
