Former Vice President and Former Head Coach “Torpedo” Boris Ignatiev in a chat with , he noted that he was skeptical of a possible date Ilya Herkus at the Moscow club.
Earlier, reports seemed to indicate that former Lokomotiv general manager Herkus could enter as Torpedo boss.
– I am for the fact that any direction includes people who are familiar with football as a game and the development of this game. If these are people who come to solve some third-party tasks, then I don’t even try to understand why the club needs it. To be honest, I don’t know what it’s for. If they told me that the club has taken on a sporting director, a person who knows the football in detail, the game, and that this sporting director will actively help Torpedo develop in a sporting direction, then that’s fine. And everything else – there is the president of the club, there are his people, there is a person who gives money to the club…
Lokomotiv under Herkus became the champion and won the Russian Cup? So Yuri Pavlovich Semin then worked with the team. They won’t gain anything without it. There is no one in Lokomotiv who could clearly and clearly put everyone in their place and say that this person gets the money, this one is in charge of the fields, and this one distributes panicles. But he, this same person, should give a sporting result.
Suppose Denis Maslov, the president of the club, comes and says he needs Herkus and clearly defines what the club needs him for…Maslov probably needs him to solve some problems and goals. But I’m talking about moving the team forward. Yes, let’s say Herkus comes. And what, he will ensure the movement of the team forward? It doesn’t affect him at all. Yes, he will get the money, and the money will be brought to the players and they will say: “You have to play better and train better.” But this will in no way affect the training process and its quality. What does the result depend on? More precisely from this. So why, for example, Smorodskaya is not working now? With her, Lokomotiv also somehow had medals and the Russian Cup. In the same way, Herkus did nothing for more than two years,” Ignatiev told .
