The head coach of Moscow's Dinamo team, Valery Karpin, provided information about how Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin spoke with the players after the match between Dinamo and Rostov, which took place in the second round of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Ovechkin entered the "white-blue" team's dressing room and warmly greeted the coach and players. According to the coach, Ovechkin did not criticize anyone or insult anyone.
On the contrary, his words could inspire confidence in the players. "Do you think he called us fools or said you are playing badly?
Perhaps his words give the players spirit," Karpin said at the press conference. The match between Dinamo and Rostov ended with a score of 1:0 in favor of the Moscow team.
The only goal was scored by Ivan Sergeyev. Ovechkin also participated in the first match between Dinamo and Kaliningrad's Baltika team that took place a week ago.
That match ended in a 1:1 draw.
