— the Decision to finish career and to become the trainer came spontaneously or you trained yourselves for this role?
— Yes at me and other thoughts were not: knew that I will be the trainer, it was interesting to me to test myself in this field. However, after completion of career of the player worked one and a half years as the administrator in Kaliningrad while Arsen Kirilenko did not invite to "Grozny". And together we passed a way from the first, lowest division, to the Superleague. Therefore this club is expensive to me, and I watch closely team performances, I worry about result. After all the main thing once again had to form in fact new team. And, probably, if "Grozny" kept a registration in the highest echelon, I most likely would remain. And into "Torch" passed in hope to accumulate new trainer's experience. Especially as young perspective players gathered in Novy Urengoy today many.
— And there is no feeling, what you accepted the decision to pass into other club too late?
— It is hard to say. It is possible to think that for me waited in other teams and were ready to accept with open arms. Offers were not.
— In principle what role of the second trainer?
— Me it is represented to b very important. Unless for result will ask all the same from the main thing. The assistant carries out a role of a peculiar bridge between the main thing and players. At any moments it is necessary to remove stress, to establish "diplomatic relations". And happens that, on the contrary, if the first not really tells off for mistakes, then you are compelled to lecture wards and to point to defects.
— you feel comfortable as the assistant?
— At me simply is not present while other choice. Even from "a tower And" did not arrive any offers though, on feelings, I probably could pull and the leading role. There will be offers — will consider.
— And still the invitation from Novy Urengoy you accepted br?
— "Torch" after all team of other level, than "Grozny". Plus there was a prospect to test itself at the international club level, let while and in the Call Cup. Besides the collective was selected it is possible to tell ideal — an experience and youth alloy. On the one hand, Igor Kolodinsky and Denis Shipotko, with another — young and very perspective children from whom at the due relation to work great masters can grow up. And it is very interesting to me to work with them. If these guys not "зазвездятся", and fears such are, can play at high level. Now I see from them full return on trainings, and it cannot but please. But whether will be so always? While it happens that they prefer to efficiency to strike effect, say, under themselves, in the first meter it is considered at them the highest chic. Also it is necessary to explain, young, to put them into place.
Yes at me and other thoughts were not: knew that I will be the trainer, it was interesting to me to test myself in this field.— In the recent reporting from the Cup of Siberia and the Far East criticized your Dmitry Volkov for excessive emotionality.
— It agrees with you, sometimes the guy gushes over. While in it is mute there lives still youthful temperament. It thus adjusts itself(himself). But also we, in return, do remarks, we explain. To the same Egor Klyuke will be, and I understand it, very not easy if him again call in the national team. In the European championship it saw for the first time, noted. And in the same Berlin any more will not allow to live also freely — will sort in details each its course, each blow. And we adjust it that the guy was ready to so serious counteraction.
— Whom from rivals on the European selection in January in Berlin should be afraid of br most of all?
— matches Through passage there it will not be simple. And Poles and French will be the main competitors of our team.
— As with French to us should be played br already at a group stage how in your opinion, it is better to meet them in a debut of selection or in the last group match?
— whether are Seen by you as a part of Sergey Tetyukhin's Russian team?
— Certainly. Same team core. What to it was Andrey Kuznetsov: once it came to "glade", the team changed at once even if forces were on an outcome. On workmanship, at the choice of a place, on ability silently to affect partners — before Tyutik it is possible to take off a hat. A lot of things will solve a physical condition of players. And in general, if we show the real game, to us the devil is not terrible. Coming back to the next failure in the European championship, probably, it would be necessary to consider that this tournament by and large gave nothing, except medals. On a rating all of us equally got on the preolympic selection. So can be it was worth attracting more young and to see them in serious business? That then the nobility on whom from them further it was possible to count. On the other hand, after a psychological hole from 11 defeats in World league, it was important to give the chance to players of structure to prove. But here they also did not play. We in the 1997th in the same World league lost, apparently, eight matches in a row. However, the situation was another — the final passed in Moscow, and a place in group then for us did not matter. And on a September World Cup a lot of things were solved in a meeting with Poles: win we the second party, all could go according to other scenario.
"Torch" after all team of other level, than "Grozny". Plus there was a prospect to test itself at the international club level, let while and in the Call Cup.— And your opinion about giving in, here at us is again problems?
— Sergey Grankin handed over b in comparison with himself to two-year prescription a little. If to compare Dmitry Kovalyov and Igor Kobzarya about whom Vladimir Alekno spoke as the main candidate, at the first both the block is better, and giving is stabler. Before the Berlin selection it is necessary to invite more candidates to collecting, and those who are better ready exactly at that time have to go to the German capital, without reflecting on the future. Most likely it is necessary to stake on the checked shots, on their experience and ability not to retire to the background at the difficult moment. Because it is necessary to solve the main problem — hits on Games. There is a wish to trust, as our, Novy Urengoy, the youth, will help. If Alekno entrusts someone from them a place in structure. All the matter is that many children from the youth national team, world champions, even numerous, on different age, have no serious practice in the clubs. "Torch" in this regard — a pleasant exception. Therefore to them also paid Alekno's attention.
— In due time after all, and the youth had a game practice, let and not in the Superleague. Now it is not present.
— And after all we with Arsen Anatolyevich very much asked to give b to us, to "Grozny", young children from the national team, they would reach manhood, opposing seniors. In the same Yaroslavl Sergey Shlyapnikov in team had in due time many players from the junior national team. Yes, to them decently got, sometimes even beat, but children grew stronger, accumulated experience. Unfortunately, of us did not meet requirements: clubs did not want to give perspective boys. And playing against the contemporaries, you will not learn much.
— to you now it is necessary to br, probably, a work plenty, after all the Russian block always was very famous. And Alekno has just the biggest claims to the young — both to Ilya Vlasov, and Ilyas Kurkayev — on the block.
— In some days are started by national championship in the Superleague. Begin its 14 teams, but not the fact that the same number and will finish it: financial situation in a number of clubs, to put it mildly, the deplorable.
— It, by the way, is noticeable and by foreign players: decent legionaries remained only in "Zenith". But the Olympic season it, maybe, and not so badly — will be played by more children. You look — someone from them will unexpectedly shoot. I in this regard look back at our basketball clubs in which in teams with the Russian names five foreigners run on a platform. And when the speech comes about the national team, it appears that in it there is nobody to play. Source:
