Head coach of Khabarovsk “Amur” Andrei Martyanov on , he spoke of what he would not forgive players on the ice.
Martemyanov led Love in May. The contract with the 60-year-old specialist is for one season. On Thursday, the Moscow Mayor’s Cup kicked off at the capital’s Megasport. The tournament brings together: Amour, CSKA, Spartak, Dynamo, Vityaz, Kunlun.
– Is it difficult to attract players to Love?
— There are difficulties. But the club arrives wisely. We don’t throw money down the drain.
– Why don’t you forgive the players on the ice?
– wickedness. If you lose trust, it’s hard for me to get it back. Cowardice. Coward does not play hockey. But I always let the person correct themselves. If he violated the regime, it is wickedness. Be professional in everything. You are the face of the club. You have a triple responsibility to the fans. You should be a role model for young people.
Cowardice – leaving the throwing line. Our concept is five in attack, six in defense. Everyone is responsible for a missed goal. Attackers have to work defensively.
– Have you defined the Mayor’s Cup tasks in terms of game building?
– The strategy has been roughly worked out. I wouldn’t really like to use the main actors as much as possible. You have to fight for victory in matches, at all times. Show the game with which you will enter the championship.
A lot of new guys, I’m new to them, the technical staff too. But the guys understand what we want. From the first matches we will try to show decent hockey,” Martemyanov told .
