Alexey is a hard worker with experience of playing for CSKA last two years. We had a meeting in Moscow and I see that he wishes to compete and help the team in the future. So I am looking forward to work together with Alexey.

Alexey Zozulin, CSKA forward:
I am happy to stay. I think in the next season I’ll earn the chance to see action more often. I don’t want to be stuck on the bench, I expect myself to prove to our new coach my readiness to help the team not during the practices only.
