2024-08-30 // SuperPodium
Scandal erupts as Andrei Razin takes "Metallurg" off the ice and insults opposing coach Oleg Leontyev

Andrei Nazarov, former coach of the teams in the Fonbet KHL Championship, commented on the incident where Andrei Razin, the coach of "Metallurg", decided to withdraw his team from the game against "Neftekhimik" at the Ivan Romazan Memorial tournament.

Nazarov stated that this move by Razin was a hard hit, but within the rules. He emphasized that disrupting matches is an unacceptable luxury when the competition is fierce to win over fans and television ratings.

Nazarov also criticized Razin's behavior towards Leontyev, referring to him as an "anti-hockey player". He expressed his belief that it is important for everyone involved in the sport to remember the challenges they face and to unite as citizens, avoiding misunderstandings and conflicts.

The Memorial Romazan tournament is not only for the players to showcase their skills, but also for the fans to enjoy. The tournament honors the memory of a well-known leader of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Plant.

Nazarov emphasized the need to prioritize the well-being of the fans and to ensure that hockey matches are played in a fair and respectful manner. He highlighted the importance of unity and understanding among citizens, especially in the current times.

The controversy surrounding the incident also involved Razin insulting Leontyev and defending his player Abrosimov, who delivered the hit that led to the injury of a player from "Metallurg". Leontyev stated that he does not expect any apologies from Razin.

Razin, on the other hand, defended his actions and criticized players who prioritize injuring opponents over scoring goals. He made it clear that he will never extend his hand to someone he does not respect.

The incident has sparked debates among hockey enthusiasts, with some defending Razin's decision and others condemning it. The directors of "Metallurg" and "Neftekhimik" also shared their opinions on the matter.

Despite the controversy, it is crucial for all involved to remember the importance of sportsmanship and respect for one another. Only by doing so can the true spirit of the game be preserved and enjoyed by all.
