Head coach basketball CSKA talks about his club, about how players will celebrate the New Year, and whether they have training scheduled for January 1, when the whole country slept on the festive table, tell about what he learned as the chief coach and that remember him most in the outgoing year. Well, of course, will reveal some of their professional secrets

On New Year holiday and the activities of January 1, 2010 year

Yesterday, the players and coaches returned from a short vacation, but today’s first training session. The team worked with a trainer for physical training Gosha Artemiev, warming up, getting ready for serious work. After five days of leave such a great need for a smooth return of the body in the working mode: training ligament, reconstruction Conditions. To this we will spend two practice sessions today, and one session tomorrow.

“New Year’s – a family holiday, will gather the whole family, we put presents under the tree, look at New Year’s program”

December 31, scheduled traditional friendly game with the employees of the office team CSKA, which will help raise the overall mood. But the first of January we decided to give the team a day off. Even if the players will be celebrating the holiday at home with his family, then go to bed late. And we would like them to receive the maximum emotional impact, and returned to work rested and rested.

How will he respond Eugene New Year

New Year’s – a family holiday, will gather the whole family, we put presents under the tree, look at New Year’s television program. At 12 o’clock, go out into the street, at the salute. That is, we will celebrate traditionally. I think the New Year – is one of the most emotional celebrations. It is celebrated all people on the planet, regardless of nationality, religion.

This romantic holiday, this time all dream of that future was at least no worse than last year. I think this is a must. We can not always be in any extreme mode in the work. The psyche can not withstand such a load, and holidays – it’s a good chance to relax and recharge. It’s just like in sports: there are loads, there is reconstruction, without which there can be serious results.

On the most important event in 2009 year

If you take the things that happened on the court, it is probably the victory at Vitoria, and over FC Khimki and Maccabi in Moscow. It is important that we believed in ourselves, even with that insecurity, that was the beginning of the season. We had a crumpled preseason preparation, had problems with injuries, and in general we have built a new team. Our beginners all known for their appearances at other clubs. But here, in CSKA, they were offered other roles that have to get used to. Had to work with our superstars Holden, Langdon, Khryapa, Siskauskas, Zoran Planinic. Thus in our composition was quite young, which also needed a chance to go to the site.

“In the first two months was not easy, we were looking for balance, to cast”

In the first two months was not easy, we were looking for balance, assign roles. All our players – bright personality with the characters, but all the same in any, even the most stellar team is the division’s leaders, middle managers and young people. But at the end of the year we achieved a balance by which the team started playing quite well. This would not have happened without the dedication and impact players, they are one hundred percent emotional Lying game, support each other. There is no euphoria, because this stage – the interim. We have created a foundation, now it’s time to build a building: a team which will add from match to match.

On his communication with players of CSKA

I have no problems in communicating with any team leader or with young players. Experienced players, when they see the error of youth, and ourselves something to suggest. Sometimes this happens even at an intuitive level. If a young mistake once – this is normal, if more, it violates the balance of the team. And the leaders explain it by example.

“Players do not understand if I begin to communicate with them in a raised voice”

We are discussing the nuances of all the players, without exception. Simple forms of expression are not the same as the previous coaches. I am a young coach, just starting their careers. Naturally, the players perceive me differently, compared with Ettore Messina and Dusan Ivkovic. I understand that there must be strict, but at the same time, and rationality.

Players do not understand if I begin to communicate with them in a raised voice.

What is learned in CSKA

He learned to keep the strike. Between the status of assistant coach and head coach actually a big difference. CSKA Moscow – a great club, the regalia, these victories give a sense of responsibility, pride, but at the same time, there is not a second of relaxation. CSKA can not fall below a certain strips, and this level must be kept each day, every second of every game session. Coach rises to the level above, if he learns to live every moment under such a burden of responsibility.

After each match to be sure that you have done everything for victory. Of course there are mistakes, but at any time you work and improve your. Being in CSKA, it is impossible to stand still, you need to add all the time, to develop. I want to not only win, but do it beautifully. What, of course, does not always work. Because competitors come one stronger than the other, and sometimes it happens in one week.

The reasons for selection as the rest of Austria

I had to escape, break away from the computer, to stay in a calm, stay in the family recover. When you are in Moscow, not get distracted from the news, reset the nervous tension. Move away from basketball is impossible, I tell them I live 24 hours a day. But this relaxation is a must to see the team as a whole. To understand what has been done for several months, which was good that must be corrected. Analyze the situation is not private, and overall.

At the beginning of the same year the star released the album «Bax», consisting entirely of hits and also presented a solo program of fans at the Palace named after Heydar Aliyev, where she sang to the accompaniment of a chamber orchestra.

4.

And the clips shot at these songs in Moscow also remember the many bright and unusual. The project is with Max Fadeev, which the singer, said virtually the entire year, is about to be realized.

The return of Andriy Shevchenko at Dynamo Kiev had on a hot autumn of 2009 the first, which presented a a footballer and his team and the national team has been disappointing. However, the experienced owner of the “Golden Ball continues his career, driven by a dream to speak for Ukraine at the home of Euro 2012. About all that was accompanied by a difficult life Shevchenko’s football in recent months – to review Sport.ru

On his return to the game after the injury: “I’m back in good physical condition, and again I enjoy football. It is very important.” In the last season because of problems with the neck I was a shadow of himself. Injury did not allow me to work as I can, and play at their usual level. Ever since I returned to Kiev, I have not missed a single match, and if I’m not mistaken, no training. The feeling of the ball again with me, as a regular practice матчевая helped restore focus. The only thing I would still like to buy – is a little more luck. ”

On presentation of the home team 10 years later: “Dinamo” has been the club of European level in the late 90’s. Everything was very professional, both in Chelsea or Milan. Of course, the football culture in England or Italy is more developed, and the best players have not come to play in the Ukraine. However, when I was thinking about returning to Ukraine, I realized the level of the team and what I can improve it. Valery Gazzaev requires of us a strong and aggressive manner of game. He gives me instructions, and I try to follow them on the field. I know that sometimes choose the wrong position, but in general, things are bad. It was very difficult in the first matches, I felt that my physical condition is not optimal. But with time things went smoothly, and this fall I have gotten a second wind. ”

On the game for Milan and councils Lobanovskiy: “Shortly after I moved to Milan, Valery Lobanovsky told me:” Andrew, you’ve become more score, but worse to play. “My club coach demanded that I concentrated on attack, although I felt that I could also set back, but as a player, I had to listen and do as asked me to coach. In Kiev, all came back to square one. I work for the team, and goals, I hope, will come, because I get pleasure from the work that I do. ”

About the best players of the Ukrainian Premier League: “In addition to my teammates, it’s Fernandinho of Shakhtar and Zhazha of Kharkov” Metalist “, and Serhiy Nazarenko, Ruslan Rotan, good speakers for Dnipro. I was surprised the game 17 — summer Maxima Koval for Zaporozhye Metalurg – in games against us and Shakhtar, he took some cool saved his team. Everyone is talking about it. It usually starts a big career, but he needs to continue to work hard. ”

On the failures of the past: “In the Champions League Dynamo missed his chance in the match against Inter.” In Italy we had the best game of the season, but finished it only a draw, but at home in Kiev missed two goals in the final minutes. I can not explain what happened. We have a young team and we just lost. But this defeat also brought us the experience and in that sense it might be useful. next fall Dynamo appear even more aggressive. With regard to the national team, then we should be patient and wait until a new generation of players will be ready. FC Dynamo Kyiv in the age of 19 won the European championship, and we need to wait until these players grow up. We have the right strategy and I am confident that the results will come. ”

On further motivation: “I want to win every match. I want to win, even in training!” It Turns Me On. I also have a desire to play in his native country at Euro 2012, giving a maximum of Ukraine. After a frustrating end to World Cup qualification -2010 This is my new challenge, or even a dream. I will do everything to achieve it.
