FOOTBALL
Yesterday, the Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation has made some loud statements on the event dedicated to the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between his agency and the Russian Football Union German Football Association in collaboration with Adidas.
Mutko: “Candidates – Slutskaya and Borodyuk”
Philip PAPENKOV
from the Luzhniki
For many years, the German system of training players put everything in example. Now that Russia has a real chance to repeat the path traversed by Germany on the crisis at the turn of the century to win at last year’s world championships. At least the enthusiasm with which talks about the new partnership sports minister Vitaly Mutko, can not infect. And how it will actually … The essence of the program is as follows: henceforth Cup in Russia will be trained on a single system, which will help create a German colleagues.
Mutko paints described advantages of the memorandum at a press conference in Reception House on Luzhnetskaya waterfront. Then the guests from Germany and journalists moved to one of the fields Luzhniki Stadium, where the German trainers conducted a master class in the framework of the Moscow festival of football. The Minister and there continued the story about plans for the near and distant future. I was even impressed with the Secretary General of the German Football Association Helmut Sandrock: in his short speech, he emphasized the passion with which the Russian minister made.
– with the German Football Association have long since developed a warm relationship. And now he will help us invaluable help in the training of trainers. After all, this is our biggest problem. I am sincerely grateful to our colleagues. Let us work together – said Nikita Simonyan, who signed the document on behalf of the RFU.
MINISTER satisfied with the work SIMONYAN
– We have all the opportunities in order to become stronger, to enter the top ten countries in the world of football. We have 400 thousand children involved. This huge army of kids – the move hit the scales Mutko. – We have invested and continue to invest heavily in the construction fields and arenas. And all this system should prepare us only a 200 players to professional football for the national team. But for many years it does not. Why is that? Because there was no clear and unified method of training players. To help us understand what we are preparing the boys. The German experience shows that such a unified philosophy gives fruit. Before 2008, we have something like infancy, but for various reasons stopped. Now we come back to this.
– Does the signing of a memorandum that in other moments we synchronize our game with the German? Maybe limit on foreign players will be canceled?
– No limit on foreign players will only be tightened. We are now preparing their children … – he smiled Mutko. – We have a huge amount of talent, but we are very wasteful. Highly! In other countries there is no such human resources as well in our schools as the cup won the trophy in the principal’s office set, the coach raised the rate. That’s all. We will return to the regional centers of sports training. They will be awarded stars like hotels, based on the infrastructure capabilities and the level of coaches. The centers will be allocated state grants, and the guys – scholarships RFU. From the age of 14 will be created the youngest team. Were also discussed, on the basis of the university should see a special scientific group. The centers will have to work on to develop a methodology to participate in our competitions. There will be about 50, plus the Academy of Premier League clubs. We will do more of the camps. We collect the most talented 14-year-olds and lucky, for example, in the “Bavaria”. “Barcelona” is offered here to open training centers.
In 2000, Germany was written by “the philosophy of German football.” So, our match against Holland in 2008 – a philosophy of Russian football. And we are now, figuratively speaking, you need to rewind time back. What should a boy of 7 – 10 years, so then to start playing? I was recently in Kazan, visited the Children’s Academy. And himself to the coach that he recounted to me what program is running. To work out the transfer, he said. But no, even chernovichkov. That’s the problem. And what kind of guys we finish school, one leg to walk, head to play a lot are not, in the goalie if that – panic. And in 10 years invested …
Another problem – find real talents. The Chuvash village had seen a boy. It is with the ball, probably asleep, so it’s great to appeals. But who will find it there? Therefore, we will actively develop student, grassroots football. And today, the rector trite not have money to fly to the competition.
We start talking about football! Not on salaries, not about the agents will not enumerate the rest of your favorite topics journalists. So I said, “limit toughen”, then ask about that Giner. And it will be three weeks of the main theme, the ratings soar … (Laughter.) it’s all nonsense. We need to sit in a boat and get out together. How did the Germans, who have the best attendance today. Our challenge now – to love soccer, not football itself. I tell you, by the way, to be honest: I like how the president of the Russian Football Union Nikita Pavlovich.
– I look forward to September when the elections will be held – smiling, said Simonyan.
– Mutko, and you truly believe that this alliance with the Germans help?
– Of course. Material resources have almost established, – assured Mutko. – Now is not the beginning of the 90s, a lot has already been built. The only question techniques. Here are our 12 coaches will be held master-class Germans. Next themselves will train Russian colleagues. Then transfer it to children. A simple formula! But it is clear that it takes time. Here today come Sasha Kerzhakov. Of course, I assured him that he continued his career. But if he had finished, why not put in this direction – to popularize football the tournament. I met with Igor Lebedev. It is seen as a man loves football like experiencing it for the children’s and youth sports. If you want, please: we will work together.
As for today, the levers are known here, too: the limit, the new coach, a special calendar, support for young men who became silver medalists Euro. You can not make progress without the practice. Friendly matches will be carried out only with the top teams. Arrangements have. Announce does not want to, but it’s the team level in Argentina and France. This path has given us the result in 2008. Let’s go through it now.
CAN Khomukha – OUR FUTURE LION
– People impatiently: new head coach Leonid Slutsky team will be? – asked the minister correspondent “SE”.
– Slutsky Borodyuk – Circle coaches understand and minimal – to keep the intrigue Mutko. – It should be just a few days. Without a coach we do not stay, do not worry. We need a Russian coach, and now is not the time experiments. Give pause Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko. I would like to see freed specialist, who will lead the team at Euro, which will inspire, who believed in. The players we have, but they need to light.
– With Giner you communicate on this subject?
– to communicate.
– only two candidates?
– I said what I said. In the future there may be many candidates. Alenichev, Kobelev, Khokhlov, Cherchesov – all of which can lead the team in the future. We will monitor them. Here Alenichev man as a player all over, and let him turn in “Spartacus.” Without a powerful “Spartacus” is not the championship league. But now, once again, not to the experiments. Objectives are specific.
– Dmitry Khomukha will head the youth team?
– Of course, Dmitry need to move on, to work with this composition. Then enter the coaching staff of the first team. Maybe it’s our future Joachim Loew.
– How long are planning to combine the positions of Minister and the President of the RAF? And what tasks set for yourself?
– At least until 2018. And the problem … The first is obvious: we are bankrupt, you need to look for money. One and a half billion of accounts payable. It will work to be “start yesterday.” Tidy charter will refund the authority of the Conference of the RFU, clearly prescribe the functions of the executive committee. And, of course, we need to raise interest in football. When I learned that no “Ruby” or “Krasnodar” in the Europa League is not going to translate, then spent a couple of days: the result of Kazan yesterday showed, people enjoyed.
– Combining such positions is not easy …
– Load increase, of course. No one with me does not remove the responsibility. And just as for football, I experience right now for the upcoming Olympic Games in Rio. It was in Kazan in the championship Aquatics: all met and talked. Something happy that something will change.
