Radulov freaked out. Yelled at a partner and hit the board with a skate

After a dry defeat 0:2 from Dynamo, the atmosphere in Ak Bars heated up. Throughout the off-season, the Kazan club was called the “dream team” and predicted the Gagarin Cup for it. It seems that high expectations put a lot of psychological pressure even on experienced team leaders.

Even before the start of the match with Dynamo Moscow, Alexander Radulov rudely asked the cameraman not to shoot him. A victory in the first game would have brought positive to the locker room of Kazan, but the Muscovites managed to outplay the favorites.

And after the defeat, the Ak Bars players could not contain their emotions. Team captain Vadim Shipachyov was asked if his team would be afraid to go against the army club that started the season powerfully. Shipachyov reacted sharply.

– So what? What other questions are there?

Before the match with CSKA, the situation only escalated. The press began to actively discuss the failure of Ak Bars at the start of the season. And the negative in the Kazan team became noticeable already in the game itself against the army team.

It seems that Radulov is unhappy with his teammates. After the next change, the forward came to the bench and began to express something in a raised voice to Dmitry Kagarlitsky. Then he sat next to him, but a second later he got up, hit the board with his skate and defiantly went to the other end of the bench.

The first three Radulov – Shipachev – Kagarlitsky after the first match had a utility indicator of “-2”. And now, in the match against CSKA, the main leaders of the team cannot find chemistry in any way and play almost without chances at the opponent’s goal. Nevertheless, Ak Bars leads these minutes in the score – 2: 1, but both goals are on the account of other links. Perhaps Oleg Znarok will have to dilute the top three star leaders.
