“All hockey players play football well. Ovechkin’s next step is basketball.” – Sushinsky

The ex-president of Avangard Maxim Sushinsky praised the debut of Alexander Ovechkin in football.

On Friday, the Washington captain played for football Dynamo against the team of bloggers Amkal and opened the scoring in the 11th minute of the meeting. The match ended with the score 5:0.

– All hockey players play football very well. I’m not surprised at all that Sasha was able to play football at a good level. We always play with pleasure in the summer: we had a lot of football trainings. It would be harder for a football player to go to hockey. Now I play a lot with the guys, and it’s definitely harder for them. Football is more massive, it is easier to play it. Not in terms of professional sports, but in terms of mass character.

From the Dynamo side, everything is clear. 15 thousand per match? For a friendly game with amateurs, this is a great indicator. The club achieved their goal: they attracted fans and made a mass event. Alexander added even more to his commitment to Dynamo. The fact that he played football is already a secondary movement. The next step is basketball: his mother played basketball. By the way, we also play well in basketball, – quotes the words of Sushinsky “Championship”.
