The Champions League winner from Russia said that Europe is "envious and licking their lips" at the way Russia is "growing"

In a patriotic frenzy, the famous hockey coach Andrey Nazarov has issued another absurd opinion about the greatness of Russia, which is allegedly envied in European countries. The winner of the 2005 Champions League, who has become the main mouthpiece of Kremlin propaganda, noted that the aggressor country is "growing in both sports and the economy."

Nazarov said this in an interview with Championship.com. The former hockey player, who coached the Ukrainian national team in 2013-2014, bent over backwards in front of the Russian authorities, thanks to whom "our industrialists and workers are moving forward by leaps and bounds."

"Pay attention to the vivid examples: farmers in Germany and France are on strike and pouring manure on the main streets, while China has doubled its purchases of Russian oil and aluminum compared to 2022. This suggests that our industrialists and agricultural workers, thanks to the government of the Russian Federation, are moving forward by leaps and bounds. Russia is growing both in sports and in the economy, and the gentlemen from Europe can only watch, envy and lick their lips," Nazarov said.

Earlier, he expressed an opinion about envy of Russians on the part of the people of Finland. And Russian hockey player Daniil Apalkov made threats against the participants of the tournament, which the Russian national team has won once in 20 years.
