We've been hearing all sorts of things about Matvei Michkov for some time now. However, the Russian was recently in the good graces of fans after a reassuring interview with TVA Sports' Anthony Martineau. <blockquote class=twitter-tweet><p lang=fr dir=ltr>What if I told you that the picture regarding Matvei Michkov is immensely less alarming than what the 736282 rumors are saying? <br><br>One of his instructors at SKA agreed to talk to me. <br><br>His words are both reassuring... and very exciting.<a href=https://t.co/vbK880QA1v>https://t.co/vbK880QA1v</a>- Anthony Martineau (@Antho_Martineau) <a href=https://twitter.com/Antho_Martineau/status/1663156693629272069?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>May 29, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js charset=utf-8> After all this positivism, Mathias Brunet came to put some darkness back into this issue with some shocking statements. <q>There was a particular dynamic with the dad, who was leading the way. Will his unfortunate death change that dynamic? Apparently, it wasn't easy over there. The boy's entourage controlled his environment, his team, the trios, the drills, it was unhealthy. I don't know what's changed now, but he's got his character. - Mathias Brunet</q> While Brunet is certain that the young man will find success in the league, he has questions, and so do we. Will we see an Alex Galchenyuk 2.0, where the entourage leads more than the team?
