— How do you rate the season for yourself?
“For the second year now, I have no evaluation of the season. I run for fun.
— How long do you plan to run?
— The plans are the same as those I said earlier. There are developments. We are moving towards them slowly but surely. I think we need to work on this for a year or two. It is not that simple. All kinds of paperwork…
— So you can still play for a year or two?
— The management wants me to continue playing, otherwise I would have given up already. While we play. Of course, not in the same form as before, but we maintain a certain level,” Larkov told .
