Lovchev: “Today in the world there are two main figures – Trump and Putin. The third after them is Ovechkin “
The Washington Capitals hockey player Alexander Ovechkin is currently the third person in the world in importance after Russian President Vladimir Putin and US leader Donald Trump, the legendary footballer of Spartak and the USSR national team Yevgeny Lovchev said.
Ovechkin scored the 894th goal for his career in the NHL regular championships, struck the gates of Chicago twice (5: 3). He was equal to goals with the legendary Canadian Wayne Gretzka. To set a record, the Russian needs to abandon one puck.
– I think the whole normal world, and not some fascist, applies to this completely adequately. Everyone was waiting for this record of Ovechkin. They looked and waited for this to happen. Heating was defined from the press.
My first wife played basketball with Mom Ovechkin. Tatyana Ovechkina is a large basketball player, Olympic champion. So Sashka is from a sports family. And he is a completely normal person, absolutely without pathos … Maybe someone can reproach him with something, but the majority cannot. We look at many athletes sometimes think: “How can he behave like that?” But Ovechkin is one who always behaves worthy. And just perfectly represents our country on a global scale.
– Is it possible to say that Ovechkin is currently the main Russian athlete?
– I would say that one of the main representatives of the country is generally. With the exception of our leader. Today in the world there are two main figures – Trump and Putin, they are ahead of Ovechkin. The third after them is Ovechkin, ”said Lovchev“ Match TV ”.
Taking into account the playoffs, the Russian has 966 goals in the NHL, according to this indicator it goes the second after Gretzka (1016). In the current season, the Russian striker scored 68 (41+27) points in 60 meetings.
On April 6, Washington will play with New York in New York. The match will begin at 19:30 Moscow time.
