More translation, roughly .... tomorow i will check if there is something new...
-------------
When someone said: "Plushenko don’t give chance to the young skaters", I answer: I do not bother anyone, young people grow, but they must to show more skills. If they won 8, 9th places... whose fault is it? They have all the cards in hand. You should to prove yourself, be the best, be the number one, two, three. They can not blame anyone, than self. And now is very hard to russian skaters to compete with top world skaters, such as Hanyu, Patrick Chan, Fernandez....
The final part, the rest of translations.... :ni_zia:

Plushenko:
"... I want to congratulate to Kostya Menshov, who won a competition in Finland. Great guy... But, in my opinion, with Hanyu, Chan and Fernandez, to russian skaters will be hard to compete.... Another shining skater from Japan is also Shoma Uno. He perfomed 2 quads recently at Japan Open. Also promising athlete. It is a world skating level... spins and jumps, the charisma and virtuosity, mastery of skates.... Patrick Chan are, ofc, a world star, a great athlete.
...
I continue to prepare a new programs - in my opinion, will be the new images. Plushenko will be a little different. In any case, we are trying to do so, though of course, it's hard. For a long time I skate, I have a certain image. I am trying to change myself, to keep up with the times, to keep up with figure skating. Of course, I will try to compete with younger athletes. If I recover, I will compete at the pre-Olympic World Championships 2017.

With Alexei Mishin I'm now rarely meet. I put one the program in Moscow, the another in St. Petersburg. Program which i do with Yuri Posuhov - it is work in the hall. There can not go directly to the ice. I need first to put everything in the hall in front of the mirror, where I can see everything, feel the music, understand if is this my image or not. And then, when all movements will be delivered, I will meet with Alexei Mishin, and think about the elements and put it on the ice.
Short program was set by Yuri Smekalov, by the way - he make me a program, if anyone remembers "Tribute to Vaslav Nijinsky", great dancer. That program was unique, new. I think, new SP would not be bad too.... I will "practise" all programs on shows with full choreography, steps, spins, triple jumps.
...
With my team, we will go step by step, and perhaps we will bring this matter to the end. If I take away, and will bring to the Olympic Games and other international competitions, it'll prove to myself that I am a strong competitor. Maybe we will not succeed, there is 50:50% chances. But we go step by step. And not in a hurry. It would be a mistake - I fully agree with Alexei Nikolayevich - to compete this season. Get out unprepared, prove again something to someone? No, I need to fully prepare.
...
Today, I feel worthy. Make a full physical therapy, I'm every day in contact with the doctor. I can not train quad jumps, but do another job: train new programs, steps, transitions, inputs, spins, triple jumps... Parallel - general physical training, pumping back and other muscles. I do not sit on the couch and watch TV. Every day I work.
...
We work in cooperation with Russian Figure Skating Federation and the International Skating Federation (ISU). For my performances in shows and commercial competitions I have all the permits from them.

There was a proposal from Japan, last year there was an offer to be coach the men's national team of China, but I do not want to leave, I want to stay in our country, to train children here.
- On question of "Asahi" journalist about japanese skaters...
In the summer I trained on shows with amazing skaters in Japan. I saw in them fire, the desire to make new quads... They have changed world outlook. Changed figure skating. They all come to the shows peacefully and do a quadruple jumps. For the Japanese, this is the norm. Sometime was used to do quads only in competition. Now - the people still applauded at the end of shows, while the Japanese skaters a jumping between self the quadruple Salchow. Then at they watch other athletes and think: "They are the aliens." For me it was a good training, I was inspired.
...
- On question by Kazakh journalist what he thought about Denis Ten...
Denis Ten is good athlete, a lot of growing up, becoming stable, 3rd place at the Olympics is very serious achievements. I wish him health, happiness. Just to hard practicing and future is ahead of him, he's still young."

Evgeni is still in the Russian national team, received a scholarship, but he says: I do not need any salary. It's not that big money for him, he would have already rejected, but this is decision of the federation.
- Evgeni Plushenko:
I give this money to charity.
