Former defender “Salavata Yulaeva” and now the team coach Evgeny Biryukov said that next season the Ufa team will win the Gagarin Cup.
Last season, Magnitogorsk Metallurg won the Gagarin Cup, beating Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the final (4-0). Salavat lost to Chelyabinsk Traktor in six matches in the first round.
— Have you already switched to coaching?
— As the holidays progress, everything is in advance, everything is in the future. For now I’m resting and preparing for the season.
— Are you planning to train during the offseason?
— Training, probably not. Maybe some sort of analysis. In any case, the work continues, we watch the players, we discuss with the technical staff. So there is no time to train yet. Maybe in the future I’ll see what I’m missing, what I need to learn.
— As a player, you failed to win the Gagarin Cup with Salavat Yulaev. Now you want to win as a coach?
– Now, of course, yes. We have a good team, good players, a good organization. Everything is in our hands. Results in the KHL are now unpredictable, and that’s great, because everyone has a chance, more or less. And I think that next year we will win, ”Biryukov quotes RB Sport.
