“Vedishchev got off to a good start. It will be difficult for him in the future, but he will get through it. Elevich – about the coaching debut of the president of Lokomotiv

Honored coach of Russia Sergei Elevich in a conversation with , he highly praised the president’s debut »Locomotive » Andrei Vedishchev as head coach of the “reds-greens”.

At the start of the VTB United League season, Lokomotiv-Kuban won five victories in five matches and became the sole leader of the championship. Vedishchev became the head coach of Krasnodar in August. Since 2003, Vedishchev has been president of Lokomotiv-Kuban.

— Now the teams are just beginning to enter the championship, so it is too early to draw serious conclusions regarding their current results. Now everyone will get back into shape, and then something will become clear. I consider four teams to be favorites for the championship: CSKA, Zenit, UNICS and Lokomotiv. But other teams will still catch them. The same “Paris NN” successfully played the other day with CSKA. And in general, Nizhny Novgorod residents look great now. But not a single team will win the championship without defeat.

As for Vedishchev’s successful debut as head coach of Lokomotiv, he of course got off to an excellent start. But I understand that it is very, very difficult for him, since he is also president of the club. It’s a 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. job! Because in addition to training and tactical analysis, there are many other jobs. I know what I’m talking about because I’ve experienced it all myself. But Vedishchev is still quite young, so he should be fine. After all, he himself played very well in his time, so, of course, he must have good ideas in terms of tactics and things to give to the team. It’s just a big burden for him,” Elevich told .
