Football player Artem Dzyuba said that hockey player Ovechkin laughed at the words about “cute belly”
Lokomotiv Moscow striker Artem Dzyuba spoke about the reaction of the captain of the National Hockey League (NHL) Washington Capitals club Alexander Ovechkin to the phrase about “cute belly”. His words are quoted by Match TV.
The football player called what was said a joke and stressed that he respects the hockey player very much. “Everyone inflated some of this … I wrote to him:“ You understand that I was joking. “Yes, of course, there are no complaints at all,” he said. Dzyuba stressed that Ovechkin laughed at what had happened.
On May 26, Ovechkin responded to Dynamo forward Fedor Smolov with an offer to fight Dziuba. The hockey player objected that there was nothing to push with Dzyuba, and called him weak. The football player said that he forgives the hockey player, because “with such a cute belly, he can afford it.”
Dzyuba moved to Lokomotiv on February 8. He made 11 appearances last season, scoring eight goals and providing four assists. His new contract runs until the end of the 2023/2024 season with the possibility of a one-year extension.
