Former midfielder of Spartak, Zenit and the Russian national team Vladimir Bystrov spoke about the scandal surrounding SKA hockey player Nikita Gusev.
“I also drink a lot. But this is just a guess. The fact is that Gusev is a good hockey player. It was also in the winter that he was excluded from the composition.
There have been many instances where both football players and hockey players were taken into a deep reserve. That’s why you shouldn’t hang a “beer” tag on Gusev. If he loved beer, it wouldn’t be what it is – and a keg of beer on skates goes up to ice. But I think Nikita brings a lot of benefits, ”quotes Bystrov. “Match TV”.
The other day, the media learned that Gusev was withdrawn from the main roster of SKA due to alcohol problems. The club declined to comment on the situation. It was also reported that the player will not take part in the series where he will face CSKA.
