“SE” – the sensational decision to leave the champion Vyacheslav Bykov SKA.
The news of the departure of the coaching tandem Bulls – Zaharkin of SKA broke the quiet off-season hockey dream. The motif of “family circumstances” – the most common in this case, the wording of which is not to undermine that easy. The very first version that comes to mind: the coaches who have a reputation of one of the most expensive specialists league simply do not agree on money, in spite of the existing contract.
Vyacheslav Bykov and Igor Zakharkin come to SKA is not simply to decorate their names already motley team SKA. And in order to solve one problem – finally win the coveted Cup Gagarin. And it was performed at the first attempt.

In the first months of the championship St. Petersburg’s team swooped on opponents with swords unsheathed: a familiar sight after the championship season, “Salavat Yulaev” -2011. Then I began to practice changing tactics, and the game is in December-February, has lost stability. First of all, in terms of results.
By the playoffs SKA came with a pile of muscle works like a clock, heart and lungs bottomless. In the final match, using tactics variative under a variety of scenarios matches, they managed to win a long-awaited victory. Endure well prepared physically CSKA and sit out in defense bilyaletdinovsky “Ak Bars” – you need to try another. In public, including when dealing with the press, boil before even the most innocent questions Bykov, all of last season was a model of restraint and courtesy. Someone tried to laugh quote about “planned recession” Igor Zakharkina, phrase explains a number of setbacks in late November – early December. I laugh at this ambiguous phrase had even Petrograd captain Ilya Kovalchuk. However, at the end of the season Zaharkin calmly and thoroughly he explained that he had. According to him, implied physical fitness of players, and not “planned destruction”.

Surely after the championship season was a conversation about the increase of contracts of coaches, but no less important aspect could become a question of motivation. Winning is beautiful and undoubtedly earned a good amount of a premium for the next year is very difficult to find the motivation to deal with every day even more pressure management and the fans, and even with upgrades and a less than stellar team. Especially when in a relaxed and well-fed Europe (Switzerland and Sweden Zakharkina Bykov), you’ll get measured, curing the soul lives in your family.
What’s next? And then the two versions of events.
First, the team’s confidence Barshcheuski Nikolai and Sergei Zubov – the most calm, but not the best option in terms of recurrence of the success of the struggle for the Gagarin Cup. In addition, to date, in the liberated coaches appear Fedor Kanareykin or, for example, Vladimir Golubovic, but that’s not serious. Over the ocean, the most famous and best coach is the unemployed John Torterella. No matter mired in mid-April, Ted Nolan and Randy Carlyle, but after them, to put it mildly, undistinguished results “Buffalo” and “Toronto”, respectively, it is unlikely the St. Petersburg Guide entice them fat contract. Have not work Guy Carbonneau, Bob Gainey, Andy Murray and Jacques Lemaire. But, you see, all this unnecessary risk and to what extent, a waste of money. In addition, in the case of long-idle Lemaire difficult to imagine how the SKA set traps for opponents. St. Petersburg fans have long been accustomed to gay hockey team SKA Riha at first, and then when Bykov.

The second option: Care Bykov was planned in advance, as a “recession Zakharkina.” Then one candidate – Oleg Znarok. On the sidelines of the national team mentor repeatedly he complained as it literally suffocates the lack of work in the club. “Sometimes I just have nothing to do, and I was not used to,” – he said. Similarly spoke Bilyaletdinov, at every opportunity in plain text declaring that easy to pull alignment posts in the native “Ak Bars” and the main team of the country.
Even before the dismissal Bilyaletdinov from the team SKA there was a plan by invitation Two-time winner Peter Gagarin Cup. Now this version looks almost perfect in all and for all: Znarok unrelated already contract with “Dinamo”, received a standing practice at the club and will not suffer from idle up to Euro Tour Euro Tour. SKA represented Znarka get incredibly experienced specialist.

Do not forget about the day before voiced Rotenberg course of the economy. (By the way, is not this what was the reason for possible differences Bykov?). Znarka, as we know, does not necessarily need techies superstar in the attack. Gagarin Cup, he could win with the “cheap” and in sports evil hockey. National team will receive tried and tested schemes and simulated combinations of at least one five. Trite reflections about the “base club team” will leave for later.
However, Rotenberg asked not to get ahead of ourselves, “At the present time hockey club SKA conducted a detailed analysis of the situation. All official information will be promptly published on the club resources. Some media reported that the hockey club SKA talks with Oleg Znarkom, but this information is not true. Oleg V. is the head coach of the Russian national team and clubs in general agreement, the CHL and FHR interests of the national team is a priority for all parties. ”
Whatever it was, but suddenly became sluggish offseason sverhinteresnym. We look forward to continuing …
