Football player Artem Dziuba said that Alexander Ovechkin would have nailed him on the hockey rink
Lokomotiv Moscow striker Artem Dziuba spoke on Instagram (the social network is banned in the Russian Federation; owned by Meta Corporation, recognized as an extremist organization and banned in Russia) about a possible meeting with the captain of the National Hockey League (NHL) club “Washington Capitals” Alexander Ovechkin on the ice.
Dzyuba called Ovechkin a legend and noted that they respect each other. “Therefore, we could knock or something else only in a comic form. Everyone understands perfectly well that if we collided on the hockey rink, he would beat me, but football is my territory, ”he added.
Earlier, Ovechkin, in a conversation with Dynamo football player Fedor Smolov, called Dzyuba weak. “With such a cute belly, he can afford it. Sashenka, we can knock with pleasure, ”the railway player answered him.
Dzyuba moved to Lokomotiv on February 8. He has made 12 appearances this season, scoring 8 goals and providing 5 assists.
“Washington” Ovechkin this season could not reach the NHL playoffs. The team did not play at this stage of the tournament for the first time since 2014.
