General
— Now many guys are already training individually. How are you feeling? — After the vacation, I began to slowly go to the gym, on the ice individually. I got involved because last season was good, but now we need to keep in shape, move on and not stop. — When did you resume training? — In the second half of May, I began to move gradually, in June I went on the ice. So I'm getting in shape. — What is the main task of training now? — Roll into preparation. We work with the guys on the ice, we gather ourselves in groups. We train, we force each other. It's more fun to train in the company, you can joke and laugh. It's much more interesting this way. — What is the most unloved thing at the first stage of preparation? — I think there is no such thing. With experience, comes an understanding of the work. The pre-season training camps themselves are also changing, the amount of work is interesting and adequate. We approach in good shape. — Is it more comfortable to work when almost the entire team has been preserved? — This is awesome! The team has two Gagarin Cups under its belt. I think the team doesn't change much. All the boys are friendly, we communicate well, we spend time together. — CSKA has only five test matches. The experience of last season showed that this is the optimal plan? — I think so. Perhaps this is more than enough. We played the longest, we were given a rest, time to recover. These games will help you get into the season.
