> « It was the most difficult season, there were a lot of injuries in the team all season. I missed 2 months due to bursitis. I also had a shoulder injury, which constantly bothered me. I always had problems sleeping, but because of the pain in my shoulder, the situation with my sleep got worse. They did an MRI and they couldn’t decide whether to have surgery or not. In the end, they decided not to do it and gave me injections in my shoulder. These injections stopped helping and they decided to inject me with another drug. When we flew to Seattle, they decided that I would not play the match due to a shoulder injury, because I needed to not bother my shoulder for a while until the drug starts working and everyone on the team knew that I would not play until the end of the round. It put a lot of pressure on the psyche and was very annoying. I had friends in Seattle at that moment and I made the wrong decision, we hung out with them at night and in the morning I flew to Denver. This girl in my room has nothing to do with me. The club advised me not to give any comments, and I myself was not emotionally ready to explain all this. This was probably the wrong decision and it was necessary to tell the whole situation right away so that there weren’t a bunch of different rumors. If we had made it to the second round, I would have been ready to play.”

Do we have any Russian speakers on Reddit here that can watch the interview and verify the translation?
So yeah, he admits to injuries that pro sports players usually try to hide, but otherwise says fuck all about what happened. Cool story bro.

Hey, look at that. The girl in his room had nothing to do with him.
Where are all the judgy mcjudgy face a-holes in here who insist on hammering Val because of this even though they have absolutely zero evidence of anything?
Where are you all to say you’re sorry and apologize to us in this community for spreading rumors and lies?

I saw someone posted a few days ago that this interview was before the playoffs. So no insight into anything that occurred during the actual playoff run.
