Head coach of the Kharlamov division team at the KHL All-Star Game and “Metallurgist” Ilya Vorobiev in a conversation with a correspondent, he reacted to the upcoming reduction in the number of foreign players in Russian KHL clubs.
Earlier, the Ministry of Sports officially approved FHR’s proposal to reduce the number of foreign players in Russian KHL clubs from five to three when applying for the match.
– Which musical artist will you work with in tandem at the All-Star Game?
– With a good cool rapper.
– Who is he?
– This question remains to be clarified.
What’s your favorite song from him?
– September 3. I hope he will.
How important is it for you to be on this holiday?
— For me, this is the fourth KHL All-Star Game. It’s a hockey party, great publicity for the league. It is a difficult time, but during such an event you can relax and enjoy. I will stay on the bench and worry. But not in the usual way.
– If you were offered to shoot a ball in a competition between coaches, would you agree?
– Zinetula Haidyarovich (Bilyaletdinov) has already beaten, so the original should be one.
– What can you say about the performance of “Magnitogorsk” so far? The team goes up and down.
– We had a few waves, but it happens to anyone with a more or less limited composition. At the same time, we play every other day – it’s hard to win everything in a row.
“You have five best legionnaires. They will have to be reduced to three next season. Will your heart bleed?
– We will choose. So what to do? If you have made a decision, you must work under the new rules.
– Will the young people of the Metallurg school have more chances now?
– It depends on the youth. I tell the story of Vitya Antipin all the time. It was a lockout year, he was listed at the eighth or ninth defenseman level when there was training camp. Then came the NHL guys: Malkin, Gonchar, Kulemin. Mozyakin also performed with them. And so Antipin fits into this link. But if you don’t adapt, these stars will automatically knock you out of the top five.
But Antipin integrated and played very well. So it depends on the young people if they can take such a height. If so, then God bless them. In those years when Magnitogorsk won the Gagarin Cup, half of our defense consisted of our guys. And now these guys are here too. The more the better, Vorobyov told a correspondent.
