Oleg Leontyev, head coach of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) Neftekhimik club, explained what impressed him most about the attack incident. His words are quoted “Match TV”.
“What impressed me most was that this gopnik shot without thinking. I come from the 80s and 90s, we didn’t talk like that, we didn’t hit you like that on the street. I also experienced different events. But before that, it was necessary to present it. I once got shot because of my sneakers. They wanted to release their trendy blue Adidas shoes with the words “You are having a lot of fun here while we are serving in Afghanistan.” He hit me on the nose with brass knuckles, I lost consciousness and woke up in the morning.
But at least it was some kind of presentation. For Afghanistan… It is clear that the soldier’s mind is boiling. And here – no talking, it’s a mess! I was shocked. Wow! “If he had hit that sharply, he would have been a good hockey player,” the expert said.
