The head coach “Mother land” Dmitry Parfenov in an interview with , he said that the team’s coaching staff managed to maintain a healthy atmosphere in the squad, despite the difficult start to the 2022/23 season.
Rodina finished last season in fifth place in the MELBET First League. The Moscow club received the right to play in the play-offs, because Vladikavkaz Alania, who finished third, did not receive the necessary RFU-1 license. In the first play-off for the right to participate next season, MIR RP Rodina lost big against PARI NN (0:3) at home. In the return match in Nizhny Novgorod, Parfyonov’s team won (2-0), but remained in the first division by the sum of two matches.
– In the first 13 games of the season, Rodina won one victory. On arrival, the team was in the “junctions”. You explained it with a high quality winter crop in the UAE. But only?
– From the 12th to the 15th lap, we were in 17th place, then we started to climb. This coincided with the arrival of experienced Mauricio, Wesley and Kalmykov, however, all three came dismantled. Wesley did not play for three months after the injury, Mauricio for the same amount – after the end of the contract in Greece, Kalmykov did not enter the Torpedo team. It took time to bring them back to normal and fit into the team, but these players have given the team a lot in terms of mentality and confidence. In winter, Sultonov, Dmitriev, Ishchenko, Kamyshev, Pliev were added to them. This allowed us to become this “Motherland”, which was not enough to enter the RPL.
– How does the coach of the team who is in 17th place feel?
– Not very well. And the management, I think, had questions, although I did not communicate daily with the president of the club, it was closed by the sporting director Alexei Zinin. I tried to disregard the ranking, not to worry, but to work. The hardest part was convincing the players that we can get through this if we continue what we started. In general, we managed to maintain a healthy atmosphere in the team throughout the season. I shouldn’t show myself that I was nervous, the players always feel that,” Parfyonov told .
