Former goalkeeper “Lokomotiv” Sergei Ovchinnikov will certainly take on the role of coach of the railway workers during the Legends Cup, the team’s former footballer told Narvik Sirkhaev .
The Legends Cup will take place in Moscow at Megasport on February 10 and 11. The world team, legends of Spartak, CSKA, Lokomotiv, Dynamo and Zenit will take part in the tournament.
— I contacted Ruslan Pimenov, he told me about the Legends Cup. I gave my consent. This will be the first time I participate in this tournament. I can’t say exactly which is in what form. Yeah, it doesn’t really matter, to be honest. The main thing is to participate and see old friends with whom we played together, to feel emotions. We’re not so young anymore after all. Of course, everyone wants to win too. I think every athlete should have the mindset of a winner, no matter what.
— Isn’t it a shame that Yuri Semin is not on the coaches’ bridge?
– Of course, if Yuri Pavlovich had been there, it would have been even more fun, even better. We would be more emotionally charged (laughs). But I think Sergei Ivanovich Ovchinnikov will be able to cope with this task,” Sirkhaev told .
The Legends Cup was held for the first time in 2009. The Russian team won 14 tournaments, another time the winner was the team of stars, which defeated the Russian team in the final.
