from Jonathan's interview to MatchTV:
"- What are your impressions of the Channel One Cup?
- Everything went on a huge positive note: we supported each other, carried in our arms, inspired each other by chants. Special thanks to our rhymer Dima Aliev for his poetic ideas! (Smiles.) We did have a light atmosphere in the team. Even Zhenya Tarasova and Vova Morozov - who are usually always very serious - appeared in a different light. It was also interesting to see Alina Zagitova in a new role, with whom we have been friends since the Olympic season. She really rallied the team. We all seem to know each other, I have been in the national team for a long time, but at the Cup I talked to some guys for the first time. For example, I was not familiar with Andrei Mozalev. And here we were, the whole team united by a common idea. I think Alina was helped not only by her sporting character, but also by her father's coaching experience. He clearly gave her advice from his hockey work."
