The CSKA striker shared his emotions from his debut for the army club.
— Since coming to CSKA, you have already played two games. What are your impressions and emotions from the team?
- Emotions are the most positive. The team welcomed me perfectly. I am very happy to be a part of such a great club.
— The games against CSKA and “Lokomotiv” were different in terms of results. What did the team lack in Yaroslavl?
- In St Petersburg we scored first, but in Yaroslavl we lost the advantage of the first goal. It's hard to play catch-up against such an organized team. Although the chances to equalize we were great.
— As a pupil of the Moscow hockey school, was it an additional incentive to play closer to home again?
- Absolutely, I am very happy to return home to my family and friends in Moscow. It is a very strong support for me.
— Is there any additional motivation to work at CSKA under the leadership of Sergei Viktorovich Fedorov? Perhaps you managed to communicate outside of training sessions?
- Yes, I am interested to work under Sergey Viktorovich, I had time to receive instructions and tasks. I want to be of maximum use to the team.
— CSKA's next game is for CSKA against Dynamo Moscow. Does it have any principality? Considering that the derby will be dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Vsevolod Bobrov?
- Of course, on such a significant day, it is desirable and important to win. There is no principle, the main thing is to achieve results.
