Offensive “Salavat Yulayev” Alexander Kadeikin Sport24 told Sport24 that he signed one-year contracts not because of a position of principle, it was just a coincidence.
– This season, do you intend to change your principle – to sign only a one-year contract?
– We will see. But it’s not a principle, it happens. Somehow I see that he has become attached to me. In Ufa, the line-up has changed a lot in recent years: compare the line-up of four years ago with Linus Omark and Teemu Hartikainen and that of today. We then Anton Burdasov played in the third link. A lot of things are changing. Three coaches have changed in five years. Our leaders have changed. We played different hockey. Now, we may be trying to play hockey from last year, but we have a different team. And building a long-term strategy is difficult. I wasn’t ready for this. Let’s see what will happen.
– I know that you only negotiate at the end of the season. But is it true that you and your agent have already received good offers from many clubs?
“Sometimes players don’t even know that certain teams are interested in them. I have a position: I will finish the season, then I will make a decision. But in general, it happens in life that you start looking away, and everything starts to fade from under your feet, you lose focus on the moment and do things you never would have done before.
– I understand that you are the player who, before signing a contract, will be interested in detail what kind of team will be, who he wants to invite, who to leave, what will the coach look like? And all this is more important than the duration and amount of the contract.
– Yes, everything is fine. And here. I lost a lot of time in my career. And I don’t want to lose him anymore.
– Did you lose time through your fault or did the circumstances change?
– Hard to say. For different reasons. I’ve never seen the plans come to fruition exactly the way they originally did. All negotiations are forgotten after a month. You come out of vacation, and a new vision of you begins. You can never predict where you are and who it will be with.
“But you still want to strategically address the issue of the contract.
– Yes of course.
