– You have a home match ahead of you. Will this completed away streak cheer you up?

It’s always nice to play at home. We want to return to Kazan. It’s always a joy to perform in front of your fans. I think there will be a crowd. For a long time there were no official matches in Kazan. We are eager to return to our native walls to please the fans.

— Weren’t you surprised that few spectators came to this match in Moscow?

– Listen, Monday evening – a lot of people work. So everything is clear.

– It seemed that the hit of Sergei Plotnikov, with which you were knocked down, made you very angry …

— No, it was absolutely normal hockey. I saw him walking towards me, I had no other choice. I had to take his shot, keeping the puck on … There the puck went slowly, along the board. I saw that Plotnikov was walking towards me. It’s a good hit, no question. And no offense, ”the Match TV website quotes Radulov as saying.

In the next match, Ak Bars will play at home with Admiral from Vladivostok on September 8.
