Alexander did not find a place for himself with excitement during the final of the Russian Cup in Luzhniki. And then he covered his face with his hands.
The season in the NHL that ended unsuccessfully for Alexander Ovechkin found a continuation in Russia. After returning home, the hockey player is desperately unlucky.
Or is it Ovi himself who brings bad luck to his favorite team?
Deprived Dynamo of luck
The final of the Russian Cup in Luzhniki gave the fans emotions for every taste. Canceled, but then still counted goal “red-white” before the break. Exchanging accurate shots in regular time of the second half. The intrigue continued to live in stoppage time – the score 2:1 in favor of Spartak did not allow anyone to relax both on and off the field. Indeed, the key episode of the match took place already in the last seconds. The referee, after being prompted by the video assistant, awarded a penalty, which Daniil Fomin failed to convert.
The unfortunate defeat of Dynamo took place in front of one of the club’s most stellar fans, Alexander Ovechkin. The athlete repeatedly flashed in the frame during the game. After Promes’ goal and that same Fomin miss, it was painful to watch the NHL star. At the end of the meeting, Ovi also looked depressed, but found the strength to survive the defeat. He continued to support his favorite team, proudly showing the world a white and blue scarf.
Remarkably, Ovi is not the first time he came to football after returning from the United States. Previously, he attended a meeting of the Russian Championship, in which the “white-blue” fought with the Sochi club for silver medals. The appearance of the three-time world champion and Stanley Cup winner in the stands did not add luck to the metropolitan team. Sandro Schwartz’s players scored one goal but managed to concede five. I had to say goodbye to thoughts of second place.
In Luzhniki, Dynamo already said goodbye to the dreams of the Russian Cup, which eventually went to the principal rival Spartak. It turns out that the fact of Ovechkin’s appearance in the stands of the stadium again deprived the Blue and White of luck. Of course, this is just a coincidence, nothing more. But still, maybe Alexander should follow the success of his favorite football team on TV in the near future?
