– Have you scored here any goals?

– Yes. I remember one for sure. I scored on the power play.

– Who are you neighbors in the locker room?

– Garipov and Dergachyov are my neighbors. We were teammates during my hockey career. By the way, I know Nail Yakupov and Ilya Khokhlov; I played against Rafael Bikmullin during 3 on 3 tournament.

– Is it hard for you to change CSKA jersey for Neftekhimik jersey?

– No, it is not hard. Sometimes you have to change teams - this is part of hockey life. Sure, it is not easy to leave your native city. You know, my team now is in Nizhnekamsk that is why it is okay. I am glad to be part of the pack.
