The head coach “Lada” Oleg Bratach told that with the help of jokes during interviews and press conferences, he tries to avoid topics that he wants to hide from the public.
SATURDAY “Avant-garde” defeated Lada in the fifth match of the series with a score of 4:0 and advanced to the second round of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs. The season for residents of Tolyatti is over.
— After the last match of the season, you gave a half-hour press conference, like Igor Larionov.
— I spoke as much as questions were asked. He never refused to speak to journalists, neither when he was a player nor when he became a coach. If people are really interested, I’m always willing to talk about our work.
— At press conferences, you know how to joke with a serious face, and some of your phrases have become memes.
– Jokes are usually serious business. And it’s impromptu – I don’t plan any jokes. Another thing is that there is not always a desire to return it. To say what really is, what we discuss with the players in the locker room. Our conversations should stop there. If I need to say something through the media, I will say it. But this rarely happens. And this is an extreme case that can be described as an exception.
All my jokes and humor are a way to protect myself from topics and information that I do not want to reveal to the public,” Bratash told a correspondent.
