Forward “Ak Bars” Oleg Petrov in an interview with the official club website said: the team has already sat down to find his game. However, he said, to improve the results take time.

– Congratulations to the return of “Ak Bars”. How do you feel?

– During a break in the league did a great job, but yet I still can not say that I am in complete form. I'm trying to get into the rhythm of the game. Not yet obtained, but I'm already close to optimal condition.

– How to keep fit while staying in Canada?

– summer engaged in the hall, trained at the football stadium. Closer to the fall began taking to the ice – it's in the morning and evening, as usual – went to the gym.

– This season you should have started in Yaroslavl “Locomotive” …

– Yes, but it happened grief … I was shocked. The first two weeks are no thoughts at all about hockey was not the only thing was glad that remained alive. Later, there were options for a career. On the “Atlanta” We had a long history, but the “Ak Bars” was released with a concrete proposal, which I could not refuse.

– Which of the Kazan club to be contacted?

– These questions involved my agent. “Ak Bars” one of the first interested in me and immediately offered a contract, so the other options I had not even considered.

– Your spouse is not discouraged from returning to Russia?

– Of course, she is afraid for me, but as they say, life is like that! By the way, in Canada, all flying in Russia give advice not to use domestic flights. After the incident with the “locomotive” I do a little nervous when flying on airplanes. However, it is our job.

– Many were surprised when “Ak Bars” broke up with you after you win the Gagarin Cup 2009. Grievances, if any, already forgotten?

– Then there was a normal working situation – no hard feelings. We understood each other's leadership and parted peacefully.

– you – the most experienced in the current “Ak Bars”. Vladimir Krikunov probably see you in a kind of “uncle” in the team?

– I hope my experience will serve to benefit. I'll try to help Krikunova his hard work. It is necessary to unite the team. In principle, we are moving in the right direction, guys try, the staff friendly. I think after a while will be good results.

– In the meantime, “Ak Bars” can not find my game.

– I think that in the last two meetings, we have started this game to find. The most important thing – good acting in defense. We have a lot of talented, driven piles players, but the problem was that no matter what we were playing defense. Now established that component – the “Magnitogorsk” played to zero, with the “Crusade” only one goal conceded. Any team that solves the major challenges, the organization puts the game on the defensive at the forefront. Who misses the least, he usually wins. If in the future will be as little miss, then the time will come when, in response start to score on two or three goals.

– Ahead of a series of games where the opponents of such formidable team as SKA, “Atlant”, “Salavat Yulaev”. In the future look with solid optimism?

– We will not look far into the future. Home game – it is as follows. Conclusions will be done after each particular meeting. The challenge now is to play well with “Ugra”, and what happens next – time will tell.
