“It was disappointing that there was no full stadium.” Davydov – about the match Russia – Kazakhstan
Three-time Olympic champion Vitaly Davydov He shared his impressions of the first match of the Russian team at the First Channel Cup, in which a convincing victory over the Kazakhstan team with a score of 6:2 was ensured.
“The most important thing is that we keep the tradition, and in December a tournament is held in Moscow, which is dear to the heart of every veteran of our hockey and every fan. This pleases the most. If we talk about the game itself, then it was not of the highest level. This is not surprising, after all, the composition of our team is experimental, as in the national team of Kazakhstan. However, there were moments that were delayed.
I was upset that there was no full stadium. It is clear that the Russian team had an average composition, the rivals were neither Swedes nor Finns, but it was still not expected that the stands would be half empty. December is hockey season! Hockey 3v3? It was there that the stands surprised me – ten thousand views! I don’t consider myself a fan of mini-hockey, it’s hard for me personally to switch to 3×3, but such attendance makes me think that classic hockey needs to move and change something, ”Russia-Hockey.ru quotes Davydov.
Today, December 18, the Russian team will play the second match in the tournament with the Belarusian team, which is the owner of the First Channel Cup. The match starts at 14:30 Moscow time.
In the Russian team, the first victory in 10 months! She was helped by the mistakes of the Kazakh goalkeeper
