Sergei Andronov: "It will be a good match against Sweden"
20.05.2019
Senior Russian national team forward Sergei Andronov spoke ahead of playing Sweden at the 2019 IIHF World Championship in Bratislava, Slovakia:
- We took advantage of the opportunity to rest. Tomorrow, it will be a playoff-like game against Sweden. We played some football and I can say that Kirill Kaprizov is the best footballer among us! All of Sweden's players come from the NHL and it promises to be a good, interesting match. In the Euro Hockey Tour, we lost against them, but now we will see how good we are. Their attacking players are very strong. How is it playing with Ilya Kovalchuk? My role is to make sure he doesn't play a lot in defence. Our goalkeepers are having excellent tournaments. Nikita Kucherov can become the top scorer? I don't think he's worrying about that.
