Pierre Narcisse: Hope Plushenko will win! 12.02.2014 15:54

The Cameroonian forward of FC Starco and Russia national artists' team expects his friend Evgeni Plushenko to win in Sochi.
 

- There are no Cameroonian athletes at the Winter Olympic games in Sochi. Then who do you support?
- Surely the Russian team! When I have time I watch all the translations from Sochi.
 

- What is your favorite sport?
- The figure skating where my friend Evgeni Plushenko performs. I know many people were against Plushenko taking part in the Olympics but Evgeni has already proved in team competitions (Russia took the first place) that he is a great athlete. And I expect him to win men’s competitions, too.
 

- Hockey is the most important sport for the Russians. You play hockey, too, aren't you?
- Yes. I played hockey for the first time in 2012 when our team came to the city of Nizhni Novgorod for a charity match “Under the Flag of Kindness”. Nobody expected me to step on the ice! It was fun!
 

- Playing hockey do you feel the same emotions when playing football?
- For me it is more interesting to play football, may be because I have been going for it since I was a child. But when you watch a game – doesn’t matter football or hockey - the emotions are the same! Particularly when you feel that the whole country is behind your team. Can you just imagine what the athletes should feel in this case?! And that is the atmosphere of the Sochi Games! President Putin is a good guy. Thanks to him Russia has got the Olympics. Everybody who was saying that Russia was unable to organize the Games should have shut up today! Soon we will forget about problems but we will always remind the names of the Olympic heroes.
