Striker “Ak Bars” Alexander Radulov called a good power reception, which he carried out by CSKA forward Sergei Plotnikov in the Fonbet match of the KHL Championship.

On Monday Ak Bars beat CSKA 5:1 in Moscow. Radulov scored one of the goals, which was his first in the KHL after returning from the NHL.

– 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.

Coach of the Ukrainian national team: “Fans want to see us in the elite team. You still need experience”

Dmitry Khristich, the coach of the Ukraine national hockey team, made a 2025 prediction for the team. The main event was the World Championship in Division 1A, where the team only lost their chance to reach the elite league in the last match.

“I think the year has been positive. We won most of our matches. I also rate our performance in the World Championship positively. Many people probably wanted us to get into the elite league immediately, but I believe that we need to gain experience and confidence at this level. You have to believe in yourself and build on your experience by getting positive results against D1A teams and promotion teams that constantly jump from league to league.”

“We need to learn to play the full 60 minutes, to play against any opponent, to be tactically flexible… All these and many other nuances still need to be worked out,” Khristic said.
