The head coach “Lada” Oleg Bratach spoke about the process of forming a team before returning to the ranks of the Fonbet Championship KHL .
Lada has scored 50 points in 41 league matches.
— In terms of squads, have you discussed each candidate with Rafik Yakubov, the club’s sporting director? How was the team formed?
— The team started to come together while I was still finalizing my contract with the FHR with the Black Sea Cup youth team, so the sports director formed the team without me. As I understand it, there wasn’t much choice. They just informed me after the fact who was signed and who was hired.
— Can we say that recruitment was based on a residual principle?
— It happened like this, but it was inevitable in this situation, without an expansion draft… Yes, so, naturally, all the players wanted were already 99%, or even 100%, on the teams. We had to choose only those who, for whatever reason, were left without a team before the season. They gave me this composition and I started working with it,” Bratash quotes Metaratings.ru.
