Former Director “Tractors” Andrey Balandin assessed the prospects of the Chelyabinsk team for the new KHL season.
Traktor was led by a Canadian specialist this summer Benoit Grou .
— Personally, I haven’t learned anything new or special in terms of training, playing and team building. Everything is standard, without any imagination. There is nothing new and for the most part there are no interesting pranks or entries into the zone. So far, I can’t say anything good or bad about Benoit Groux. He is just an average coach, although it is clear that he has experience. I don’t see any spice in it. He also talks a lot – general phrases about everything and nothing, flattering the management and players. I think he needs to talk less. Of course, you need to communicate with journalists, but be more modest.
However, it can be noted that the team is trying, Nikita Tertyshny has woken up a little and healthy competition has appeared. I would like to believe that a pleasant surprise awaits us this season. Gru, in principle, says the right things, that a team is not built right away and that you have to complete every match, every training session. Another positive aspect of having a Canadian coach is that the children will have the necessary impetus to learn English. Someone else will start to take a greater interest in North American hockey, “said Balandin, quoted by RB Sport.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
