Shunin's delight, Leshchuk's joke and a power reception at Krapivnikov: what was discussed after Ovechkin's debut for Dynamo

"Clown on ice!

But I enjoyed it."

The debut of Alexander Ovechkin can be safely called the main event of June in Russian football.

In the off-season, which was meager for events, Dynamo and Amkal pleased the fans and arranged a real holiday.

The hockey player himself became his main hero, who, in the allotted 12 minutes, scored the ball, which turned out to be victorious in the end.

After that, he, under the standing ovation of the stands, left for a replacement.

But during the break, when emotions calmed down a bit, the athlete assessed his game rather modestly.

"Clown on ice!

But I enjoyed it.

Bliss!

Satisfied with the game.

There was also a power reception - a hockey situation.

Slavisa Jokanovic said before the match to have fun, to play the body a couple of times, ”the R-Sport forward quotes.

Already at the end of the meeting, Ovechkin admitted that his dream had come true that evening, and explained why it was especially important for him to enter the field as part of the blue and white.

“My father played for Dynamo Moscow and got injured.

This confrontation is more for him than for me, ”said Alexander in an interview with Match TV.

He also admitted that he was afraid for his physical condition, since he is currently on vacation, and even in a short period of time he managed to get tired of the strong stuffiness.

“Already in the warm-up, I realized that it would be hard.

I had to water myself.

Heat, stuffiness.

But I entered the game more or less normally.

It's good that I followed Fedor Smolov, how he moves.

It helped me a lot: I watched his movements and interacted with him, ”added the striker.

The goal of the hockey player turned out to be doubly unusual, because he scored with his left foot, although he is right-handed and also plays with this hand on the court.

“Actually, I’m weird.

I write with my right hand, throw with my left hand, hit the ball with my left hand, and play hockey with my right hand.

This is how I am peculiar, ”Ovechkin explained.

He also rejoiced at the fact that at least in some way he surpassed Wayne Gretzky, who did not score in football, and shared his impressions of meeting Jokanovic.

"Calm man.

In my opinion, he is only five days in charge of the team.

Self-confident person.

I think everything in Dynamo will be in order, ”Alexander expressed hope.

Finally, already in the mixed zone, tired but happy, he stressed that he was not ready to make his debut for the Russian national football team, despite the national team's comic post on social networks, and expressed a desire to play for Dynamo again if he did. sentence.

The athlete's parents, who were present at the VTB Arena and watched with their own eyes how their son hit the Amkala goal, did not hide their joy.

This was especially important for his father Mikhail, who himself played for the blue and white.

“Today it is a great happiness that Sasha left the team of masters ... He got into history.

Well, “put it down”, they don’t play candy wrappers here.

Very pleased, well done ... Of course, he did his job - he scored the winning one and, like a king, sat down on a bench.

Thanks to the coach, the one who came up with the idea to take him to the team.

And the people pulled themselves into the stands, ”said the man.

Moreover, according to him, by accepting the offer of the capital club, the hockey player risked running into a large fine from the Washington Capitals, since, according to the contract, he was forbidden to play other sports. 

In turn, Tatyana Ovechkina, who coached Dynamo basketball, especially emphasized that, contrary to rumors, no one succumbed to Alexander.

“The moment is very good, beautiful.

The most important thing is that the ball was scored not for fun, but for the game ... Nobody adjusted to Sasha.

Someone might think that they did it on purpose - not at all.

Good goal, I'm happy for him.

He is not only a striker, but also a great playmaker.

Sasha sees the site perfectly - both in hockey and in football, ”Ovechkina emphasized.

At the same time, the parents unanimously called their son an extremely gifted and versatile person who, if not for hockey, could easily prove himself in almost all sports.

“I threw one out of the minibus and scored”

We were completely satisfied with the game in the leadership of Dynamo.

The club organized an excellent event and attracted more than 15 thousand spectators to the stands.

And the general director of Muscovites, Pavel Pivovarov, stressed that the broadcast of the match had collected more than 1 million views.

Sasha scored.

The contract has been completed.

We won.

Everyone is happy.

Is it possible to extend the agreement?

We need to consider a new one.

Everyone enjoyed it and the mood is great.

As for matches with blogging teams, let's think about it.

Let's evaluate the coverage that we got... I wonder how many views the video with Sasha's goal will gain.

And based on this, we will conclude whether we will do something similar in the future, ”the functionary summed up.

His new partners were also delighted with the game of the hockey player.

So, Anton Shunin was especially struck by the fact that he did not have a single training session with the team, but entered the field and demonstrated a fairly high level.

“I would like to congratulate him on a great game.

He scored - what could be better ... I was very happy for him.

The first shot on target - and immediately a goal.

Plus it's a nice combination.

But for now, it's hard for him.

In hockey, you went to the court, did a couple of actions and sat on the bench.

There are no such frequent changes here.

Therefore, it is not easy to play even ten minutes.

Hockey and football are two different sports.

But he looked great and helped us, ”the goalkeeper emphasized.

He also explained who had the idea to take the captain's armband from him and give it to the attacker.

According to him, such a proposal was made by Jokanovic and the management, and the players fully supported him.

And the reserve goalkeeper of Dynamo Igor Leshchuk was remembered that evening, perhaps even more than his colleague.

And it's not about salvation.

The club combined the match with Amkal with the celebration of the 28th birthday of the famous singer Yegor Creed.

Before the game, he performed several of his compositions, and after that, he was presented with a huge cake as a gift.

At this moment, the football player “scooped up” a large piece with his hand and smeared it on the face of the surprised birthday man.

However, he appreciated the joke and began to hug the goalkeeper.

Leshchuk himself explained his behavior by the team tradition.

“Since he came to visit our stadium, traditions cannot be canceled.

What did Yegor say?

Nothing.

He appreciated the joke.

Security guard?

Its' his job.

He didn't know that this would happen.

And I didn't warn anyone.

Some of the guys on the team knew, of course.

But if they had told Yegor's representatives, they would have passed it on to him.

And there would be no surprise, ”said the goalkeeper.

Like Shunin, he positively assessed Ovechkin's game and was surprised how he managed to open an account in such a short period of playing time.

“I threw one out of the minibus and scored.

I asked him if there would be power moves.

He promised to do without them, but, as we see, it did not work out, ”the goalkeeper laughed.

He also did not miss the opportunity to taunt the opponent, calling media football a parody of professional football.

In his opinion, the blue-and-whites could have won even more, but they did not set themselves such a task.

At the same time, he admitted that 15 thousand people came rather not to Dynamo, but for the sake of Amkal and Creed's concert.

“In general, the guys are great.

They make a great show.

They have achieved that they play in a huge stadium with the RPL team.

It means that they are doing everything right... For the club and to attract new fans, such matches are needed.

But from the point of view of a football player, I want to play with more serious opponents and professionals.

But I hope Amkal will improve.

And next time, if we meet, it will be at least 0:3, ”added Leshchuk.

In turn, Zakharyan also admired Ovechkin's power reception on Mikhail Krapivnikov in the very debut of the meeting.

The episode was clearly remembered by everyone no less than a goal.

“Ovechkin is great, he scored the ball.

If there were more time, more goals would have been scored.

What does he lack?

Maybe technology.

I saw how Mike was removed with a skating rink by the body.

Hockey, hockey, where is Mike against him?

- quotes the midfielder "Sport-Express".

“I knew that I would be on the same flank with him, and this force was waiting”

Even the hero of the moment, Krapivnikov, was not very upset.

He emphasized with a laugh that thanks to the hockey player he would become much more popular, because the video should be included in many sports collections.

It's funny that before the game, the footballer launched a vote on social networks whether to use force on the eminent opponent.

“I knew that I would be on the same flank with him, and this force was waiting.

He joked in the locker room that either he would catch me, or I would catch him so that he flew off, and then I would run around the field and hide, if only I didn’t catch him.

How does it feel?

Well, not like a train, but it is strong.

Such a machine.

But I wanted to catch.

When he climbed, he was surprised: “What are you doing?”

And I told him: “What are you, a brick?”

By the way, after that he scored quickly,” said Krapivnikov.

And the goal itself, according to his confession, shocked the Amkal players.

No one expected that a hockey player would be able to deliver such an accurate, non-grasping shot into the far corner on touch.

“I was shocked, because this goal will go around the world.

Our goalkeeper Fyodor Maslov said just that: “I missed from such a person that now everyone will see me.”

I liked everything, it was cool until the 85th minute, ”Krapivnikov shared his emotions.

At the same time, he called the assumptions that Ovechkin was allowed to score on purpose, complete nonsense.

Moreover, the football player positively assessed the game of Amkala, because until the 82nd minute the team was inferior with a score of 0:1.

But a number of substitutions had a negative impact on the result.

“We have people from the Comedy Club coming out.

It is clear that such a match happens once in a lifetime.

I wanted everyone to play, to feel these emotions.

There was an equal game, and then six castlings, and that's it.

The level varies greatly.

When Smolov and Konstantin Tyukavin go against you, then Phil Voronin, who jokes on stage, cannot oppose them with anything.

But on the other hand, he received a lot of positive and now has the opportunity to come up with new jokes, ”Krapivnikov laughed.

Moreover, he admitted that there was a possibility that the birthday man Creed would enter the field as part of Amkal, but the parties failed to agree, and Dynamo put up a lineup that was close to optimal.

“We thought the blue and white would be a mixed roster.

But they have a new coach, and he also looks at the players.

It is clear that they just got back from vacation a couple of days ago.

So for them it was not a show.

Jokanovic is looking at the wards, who will then play at the base, ”explained Krapivnikov.
