Written Option 2:

Elvar Gil-Galad is really not a big fan of the media in any forms but is required by contract to deliver a post-game presser on occasion. The Management of the Grizzlies makes all the players take turns so that everyone has to participate but Elvar will usually just sit there quietly. Even when asked a question he will just give a one-word answer until the media stops asking him. He is not a fan of being in the public eye at all at all and it may seem like Elvar is stuck up and snobbish but the reality of it, is...

Elvar is just very shy and his English isn't great yet so he struggles to find the right words when asked questions. It may come across as the Icelandic goaltender is a jerk, but he will have a lot to say someday once he has a few more years in North America and gets some practice speaking in public.
