Andrey Martemyanov: Hockey is martial arts, and they all need to be won

The head coach of the Amur hockey club, Andrei Martemyanov, talks about his work, idols and contact with the players.

Head coach of the hockey club "Amur" Andrey Martemyanov told reporters of RIA Vostok-Media - Khabarovsk about his work, idols and contact with the wards.

About the match against SKA

“The game with the ice hockey leader is a really big event for the club, for the team and the entire hockey community, especially in Khabarovsk. Alexandra Picard on last minutes meetings. We went ahead, wanted to score again and level the score. They hoped to catch at least a point. But the level of the game and the class of SKA is now much higher. All we could do was cover up our gaming shortcomings with dedication and efficiency.

Naturally, the main emphasis was placed on 5-4, paid to this Special attention... We analyzed the technique of SKA in this format and tried to cover all the loopholes for them as much as possible, did not allow them to score. Most of the link in which Gusev plays is especially good at realizing, but we tried to close the advantage for them. Per link Kovalchuk paid attention. As for the movement, we paid more attention to the defense. We were preparing for the fact that we will have to defend ourselves a lot. I think that in the end we managed to get a solid “four”. There are, of course, blots.

But look at the SKA squad - there, in addition to the hockey players of the Russian national team, are the guys from the national teams of Sweden and Finland. This is a team of champions. But this is natural: SKA is being formed as a base for the national team of the country, there is no one to blame. If the leadership of the KHL and the leadership of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation put the Russian national team at the forefront, you need to adjust and carry out this installation. Meeting such rivals on the ice, the players understand that they can do a lot. SKA doesn't have many defeats, that's a fact. But self-esteem and self-confidence soar very high, even if you play on equal terms with them. "

The experience of overcoming failures

“In Avtomobilist there were moments that I constantly have to face in my career as a coach - to make a team out of what is, to motivate, to find a place for each player. This is my experience. Of course, I want to work with a stable team. But the coach works There have been ups and downs, there have been failures and successes - this is the coach's share. club management is patient with this process.

Thanks to the management of Amur for their trust. We had a protracted streak of nine defeats, although we played well. But we endured it, and now we are gradually crawling out of this pit. They believe in us. "

About hard hockey

"Hockey is the kind of game that many people love not so much because of the abandoned goals and beautiful combinations, but because of the toughness. men's sport... Many fans come to watch exactly the gambling, fighting game. I will not hide - I am impressed by the Canadian hockey style. I grew up on this, became a protector. Yes, I try to instill in my charges the same toughness and desire to fight. Because it's part of hockey. Add rigidity in every element - and you will grow into a master of hockey, there will be results. The player must be able not only to throw the puck, but also to do the rough work. Take the puck, drag it into the zone - there is a struggle everywhere. Generally, modern hockey- this is a lot of single combats, and all of them must be won. Those who are weak in character and physically unprepared leave themselves. "

About playing on a small court

“The Canadian site helped Amur. The space became smaller, we changed the style of play. It was only difficult to adapt: in the first matches of the home series, I must admit, we seemed to play away. We started the season away, we were on the road for a month and a half. Due to our geographic location, we traveled a lot at the start of the season: we had to prepare for the games, put visas, and exhibition matches play and participate in a tournament - no one comes to us because we are so far away. As a result, we return home - and we have another site here. And immediately "Jokerit" arrives in awesome shape, and off we go. While getting used to it, we managed to lose four matches at home. But we got out of this situation with honor, God forbid, that it will continue to develop like this. "

About different hockey schools

“Hockey is the same everywhere. Only the styles are different. Foreign guys differ from ours in their attitude to their work.

Konstantin Shafranov he worked in the North American League for three seasons - naturally, his experience is like a fresh stream for us. When you cook for a long time in the same kitchen, your eyes turn sour a little. New trends never hurt.

On the other hand, as a coach, it doesn't matter to me where the person came from, from which country, from which city. Task coaching staff- find a point of contact with our team in the player and use it. We have no foreigners, all of them are Cupid players.

By the way, we also do not pay attention to age. I regularly hear from fans that Vitaly Atyushov we are getting old. He came to the training camp in the same form as Oleg Lee, they have best preparation was. God forbid, he will play for another 5-7 years. How he prepares, how he relates to his work - he must take an example from him. And the fact that our foreign tigers were born and raised in a different environment is another plus for us. They share their experience, they have a different view. "

Team changes

“We have stabilized. The game has improved in attack, our pairs of defenders have more or less settled down. Now it has become easier to work with the team in terms of the requirements of the coaching staff. I can also say that the atmosphere in the team has changed - this is primarily due to the fact that new players have come. They have already joined the team - they felt, so to speak, each other's elbow. I think that our atmosphere is more working now than at the beginning of the season. The task for the second half of the championship is just ahead. True, I don’t know not a single coach who would not put such a vector in front of his players. "

About the leaders of "Amur"

"Alexey Byvaltsev and Oleg Li spend a very bright season, God forbid, that this was not the best season of their career. The guys are young, they still have to grow and grow. They justify the confidence of the coaching staff, therefore they are developing. We tell them important technical nuances, they absorb them and put them into practice on the ice, prepare for the games correctly.

Oleg Li literally in six months radically changed his attitude to training, to pre-season training. He came to the training camp in excellent physical form- it was evident. And his attitude, his serious attitude was also evident.

As for Lyosha Byvaltsev, he is a smart, smart center forward. Now there are few of them. In general, he is playing a link, he is very confident in himself, justifies our trust. He certainly knows how to play. Perhaps in the past he was simply in an environment where he could not open up. I think that the environment in which he is working now helps him to properly prepare for the matches and give all his best.

Picard is a powerful power forward, he understands his purpose in the team and fulfills it. Have Alexandra Frolova tasks are different. So far, we do not plan to combine them into one triple. When Pavel Dedunov in great shape, he and Picard together can terrify any team. Frolov is strong on a nickle, in maintaining the puck and in creating chances - he brings the puck well into the zone. To realize the moment when a player goes one-on-one with the goalkeeper is not his main task, but he pushes the opponent's defense. Frolov makes great use of his size, is good at covering the puck - this is an important skill in wrestling. We have practically no one-sided players. Everyone has their own strong qualities and we help players develop them. Accordingly, we try to tighten up the weaknesses.

Jan Kolář- master. I hope that no one will dispute his place in the Czech national team at the upcoming Olympics. He is not only verbally preparing for this performance - Kolarzh proves in every match that he is one of the leaders of the team.

Many legionnaires passed through the Far Eastern teams. Someone got used to it, like the same Jan Kolarzh - he is already an inveterate Far East. Someone did not succeed. When we signed Kvapila, counted mainly on his sniper qualities. Unfortunately, he did not show them. In training, it was pointless to look at it: you need to watch the hockey player in the game. We let it out on the ice, but it didn't grow together. I treat this situation as a working moment: perhaps there was simply no suitable environment in Amur for Kvapil to fully reveal his qualities. Bombardiers are generally extremely sensitive to the situation - they need a reliable partner who will “feed”, bring the pucks for the final shot ”.

About idols among coaches

"First of all, Viktor Tikhonov... Under his leadership, I played at CSKA, I took over a lot from him. Even now, when I am already a coach, not a player, in many situations I mentally change places with him and think: "What would he do in this case?" His behavior in the team, leadership style and knowledge of hockey gave me a lot. In addition, I remember Igor Efimovich Dmitriev, Valery Ivanovich Vasiliev.

I have a school of Soviet hockey inside. I am guided by how these people in certain difficult situations got out of the situation. Naturally, I think these are some of the best trainers in world hockey. Maybe some of the methods then didn’t appeal to someone. But these were the times of the USSR, then we had a transitional period and we were in an incomprehensible state, morals and worldview changed a little. And in the end we come back - to the hockey that was.
The team must have a moderate democracy. But the iron fist must also be present. All our guys are different, all of us different age, different views. So that everyone best qualities pull out of them, you need to constantly keep your finger on the pulse of control.

I know that Tarasova there were very tough training. He was a very demanding coach, but he brought up best players countries in CSKA and the USSR national team. All of his charges were individuals. And they had to be held in hand. It costs a lot. You need a reinforced concrete character and authority to keep such a team. "

About the most difficult match

“It was a very tough game with HC Sochi on their field. We did not fully understand why it happened - we lost in almost all components. I suppose that the climate also influenced it. We arrived, and there is sea air, almost a resort Velvet season, the aura is not at all combative. tough match came out. We took a point in this meeting - we just gnawed it out with our teeth.

This is the entertainment, but also the complexity of any game view sports, and especially hockey. The game can turn upside down at any moment. The match with Dinamo Minsk showed it. They were leading in the score 2: 0, they just had to finish the game. But, apparently, there was already some kind of worm inside: the opponent is not broken, he resists, and the guys suddenly change the game. Although there was no such installation. As a result, they simply gave the opponent the initiative, conceded unnecessary goals. It's good that they pulled it into overtime. "

About behavior during matches

"Tigers should be led by a tiger, preferably an evil one. Just kidding, of course. I think that the coach's emotions, good or bad, are an additional charge for the team, this is motivation. Being around the guys, we feel when they need to be praised, when to cheer them up, when ( relatively speaking) to put a click. We make a message to the team so that it will accept it and act. "

On April 2, a press conference was held at the press center of the "South Ural" with the participation of the Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General Viktor Mikhailovich Zavarzin and the Minister physical culture, sports and tourism Oleg Igorevich Pivunov. Oleg Igorievich opened a press conference and introduced the new head coach of the team, Andrey Alekseevich Martemyanov, to the participants of the meeting.

Reference:
- was born on March 30, 1963 in the city of Sverdlovsk (Yekaterinburg), international master of sports, USSR champion in 1984. He played in the national team of the country, winner of the tournament for the prize of the newspaper "Izvestia" (1992).

He worked as a coach of the Samara CSK VVS, the Tyumen "Gazovik", the Resurrection "Chemist", the Yekaterinburg "Avtomobilist". From November 2011 to May 2012 he was the acting head coach of Avtomobilist. From March 2013 to February 2015, he was the head coach of the VHL club Sokol Krasnoyarsk.

O.I. Pivunov:
- Andrey Alekseevich and I have found complete mutual understanding on all key issues. The main task in the new season will be the return of "South Ural" to the elite VHL clubs... At least the team must be 8-10 best clubs according to the results of the regular League championship, and go to final stage competitions, preferably with the advantage of their own site.

Then the floor was taken by the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Colonel General V.M. Zavarzin, who congratulated the new mentor of the Orcs, wished him success and victories, which many fans of the club are waiting for:
- Six years ago I visited Orsk for the first time, and it was through hockey, attending the games of the "South Urals", one might say, I fell in love with the city, with its wonderful inhabitants. Hockey in Orsk is more than hockey. On the crowded stands, ordinary people of different professions, social strata, and many schoolchildren gather.

Viktor Mikhailovich Zavarzin noted that traditional all-Russian youth tournaments for the Vladislav Tretyak Cup are held in Orsk with great success, the famous athlete himself, President of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation Vladislav Aleksandrovich Tretyak visits Orsk with pleasure, always speaks warmly of the Orcs. V.M. Zavarzin gave an army order to the newly elected coach - to set serious tasks and fulfill them!

Such an order from the colonel-general to the mentor is not accidental, because Andrei Martemyanov once played in the army of Moscow, where he became the champion of the USSR. He had a chance to play under the leadership of the legendary Soviet coach Viktor Vasilyevich Tikhonov, about whom he spoke with great warmth at a press conference, told and interesting fact from past.

Viktor Vasilievich was a real hockey fan, - said Andrey Alekseevich. - He could work 18 hours a day. I remember that I woke up at three o'clock in the morning and, walking down the corridor, noticed the open door of the coach, who was enthusiastically inventing something at his desk, writing, and already at 8 o'clock in the morning he was doing a cross with the team. In a difficult period of persecution of a big coach, I supported him, never betrayed him. Viktor Vasilievich stimulated me in many ways to coaching, helped with advice.

During the press conference V.M. Zavarzin, O. I. Pivunov and A.A. Martemyanov was asked many questions, to which the journalists received complete and specific answers. New Main coach YuU noted the special hockey atmosphere at the Orchan games in the Yubileiny Sports Palace, as he noted that “sometimes you feel like overseas”.

Andrey Alekseevich Martemyanov shared what he saw during a few hours of stay in Orsk:
- I walked around the sports palace, new football stadium, however, did not have time to visit the second ice rink ... Everything is impressive! Compared to a decade ago, this is a huge step forward. All conditions for fruitful work have been created for the team.

Apparently, that is why he made the final decision that the preseason training camp will be held in Orsk. The mentor of our ice squad said that he did not intend to radically change the composition of the team, he knows many players, their skill level and capabilities, but the changes will be, as they say, point-like. The candidates for the team will be screened, and the players of the youth squad "South Ural - Metallurg" will be given a chance. Now everything will depend on the young hockey players themselves, on their dedication and desire to play in the VHL.

At present, as noted by Oleg Igorievich Pivunov, Oleg Marzoev, Roman Muzychko, Maxim Vytkalov remain in the team, negotiations are continuing on the conclusion of new contracts with the rest of the hockey players who are still in the camp of the team. The question remains about the second coach of the team.

A.A. Martemyanov will stay in Orsk for a few more days. On April 3 and 4, "South Ural" under his leadership will play control matches with "South Ural - Metallurg". Then, until April 17, the team of masters will continue training under the guidance of the coach of the team, Andrei Vladimirovich Skomorokhi.

When asked what tactical method of the game the new head coach would choose, given that under his leadership the Krasnoyarsk players played strictly “defensively”, Andrei Alekseevich replied that the team's game scheme largely depends on the performers. He prefers first to put things in order in the defense line, and then build the attacking actions of the team. As the mentor noted, there is no attack without defense. The team will strive to show balanced hockey on the ice, striving to delight fans with victorious matches as often as possible.

V this season in the Eastern Conference of the Continental hockey league(KHL) the intrigue in the fight for the playoffs is extremely aggravated. Spectators are not deprived of a number of discoveries among teams, players and coaches. One of them is now the Khabarovsk "Amur". His head coach, Andrei Martemyanov, was a player in Sverdlovsk Avtomobilist in the 1980s, spent a season at the legendary CSKA in 1984, and in the early 1990s became the captain of the Russian national team at one of the last draws of the Izvestia newspaper prize tournament.

Now Amur is fighting for getting into the KHL playoffs. Earlier, only Finn Hann Yortikke managed to bring the Khabarovsk club to this segment of the championship in the 2011/12 season. In an exclusive interview with Izvestia, Andrei Martemyanov spoke about the results of his team, getting used to the Canadian site at the Platinum Arena and his relationship with Viktor Tikhonov.

- How is Amur still in the fight for the playoffs?

We retained the core of the team from last season, having managed to afford to make point enhancements. Now I see that they were not mistaken in anyone. Everyone is ready to fight for maximum impact. There are no stars - there is a team in which everyone is equal. If we maintain this attitude for the remaining matches and training, the chances of the playoffs will be very high.

- You were a tough player. Does the level of struggle in the KHL now correspond to what you preferred in your time?

I can't say that hockey is turning into ballet here. Even top teams like CSKA, Jokerit or Lokomotiv are very tough and mobile. I think the hockey community is now on the right track, and teams playing tight, power and speed hockey are starting to revive. In my opinion, this trend is correct.

- Does your new site contribute to this?

Of course, the demand for this kind of hockey has increased. The site in Khabarovsk has become 4 m narrower, there is less space - accordingly, there is more contact play.

- Does this give Amur an advantage?

We are used to the site. But I would not associate our results with her. It is not the first season that Admiral has been playing at this size. But last season they made the playoffs without any problems. Now their results are worse, although most of this "regular season" the composition was the same. It all depends not only on the size of the field, but also on the players - their preparation and dedication. The experience of Alexander Frolov, who played on such fields in the NHL, was very useful to us. His manner of playing, prompting partners allowed the rest of the hockey players to quickly rebuild, learn the specifics of this style. Our attackers played a lot on Alexander and next to him they themselves learned to grab the chances for throws and passes in a very limited time to make a decision.

- Reanimation of Alexander's career Frolov - a difficult task?

There is nothing complicated about it. From the very preseason it was clear that a person has a great desire to play hockey - together with his experience and skill, this should significantly enhance Cupid's game. The role of such people is not only in scoring goals and passing out passes, but also in a special manner of preparation for the game and the training process. The very attitude of Frolov to hockey is very important for the rest of the team - on his example, young people learn how to properly prepare physically and mentally.

You had a successful starting away series, won several outstanding victories, although many predicted you the last place in the East for your first arrival home. But in Khabarovsk the first series was failed and the starting point reserve was used up. Affected by the long adaptation to the site?

There was a connection with its size, but I will not exaggerate it. We arrived home in Khabarovsk, morally tired. The team spent a lot of time away from home. There was a long trip, first to the preseason tournaments, and then to the starting eight-match away streak in the KHL. In fact, we were not in Khabarovsk for a month and a half, and the constant travel exhausted us. The defeat from Avtomobilist in the last away match also had an effect. There was no time to recover psychologically. But through matches and defeats, they managed to stabilize the game. Young guys also pulled up, which made it possible to align the links.

You made a splash unbeaten streak with the hopeless Avtomobilist in the 2011/12 season. Was it hard to force yourself to work outside the KHL, waiting for more than five years for a new chance?

I think that Avtomobilist did not quite adequately assess the work of our headquarters at the end of the season. In the first year after that, it was difficult to reorganize morally on the VHL. But then the understanding came that one should value having a job. First of all, the experience gained in these leagues is important, which cannot be bought for any money. You just have to go through a difficult stage of transition to a new level, but if you do not break down under the yoke of the first failures, if you don’t turn off the path, you will gain a foothold. VHL in this sense is an excellent school.

- The oppression of the first failures - is it your debut in the KHL with ten consecutive defeats at the head of Avtomobilist?

After this, nothing is scary at all. It was hard then, but we took points anyway - after three matches in the fourth, we brought things to overtime. During the season, we had to rebuild the team's game, introduce new requirements. But there was an understanding that the result would come. As a result, I managed to leave the last place.

- The previous headquarters, headed by Ilya Byakin, then went to full complement... How it worked without helpers?

I slept 3-4 hours a day. And then he did not sleep, but rather dozed. This continued for about a month. Then Andrei Sokolov from Magnitogorsk came to the rescue, and it became easier. Together with the goalkeeping coach Albert Shirgaziev, we did a good job.

- Did you have a chance to stay at CSKA?

I was very young, and there was a scattering of stars around. Fierce competition... But I learned a lot for myself in terms of preparation for matches, game actions and attitude to life. Even without actually playing in that CSKA and only by training, you as an athlete grew a lot.

- Who did you play with?

With Sergei Starikov and Sergei Gimaev. In general, the atmosphere at CSKA was very family-like. I, a guy from another city, at first did not understand where I was. But the army stars quickly helped adapt. Then from the first days it amazed how great people Olympic champions, very easy to behave in communication. I felt their full support in the game and everyday life. At any moment they were prompted and supported. It was very easy to fit into that team, even if you come from another world, which at that moment was Sverdlovsk.

- Who of that team did you get closest to?

They became friends with Sergei Gimaev and Alexander Zubov. It was not possible to communicate a lot with the leaders of the team - they often left for the national team. Therefore, we trained more with them and talked about the game. Vladimir Krutov and Vyacheslav Fetisov constantly provided support and prompted. The others also helped. Even in the smallest detail, I didn't want to let such people down, not to mention the matches. Later I transferred this experience to coaching, trying to select players and assistants with such a character when mutual respect with partners on the ice predominates.

The current head coach of Severstal, Alexander Gulyavtsev, who was playing against you at that time, told how he got a stick from you on the back during the match. Did you have to restrain yourself in training for CSKA so as not to injure one of the army leaders?

At that time, I would not advise someone to try to throw themselves at them with forceful techniques - they will immediately fly back to you. In this regard, the same Fetisov, Krutov, Makarov, Larionov were not almond-shaped. Yes, and with their skill it was still necessary to get into them. As, by the way, in Gulyavtsev. Sashka was a very fast player, he was constantly on the move, while controlling the puck. It was very difficult to get into it at the junction. I then hit him with a club out of despair. Even that was impossible with the army leaders.

- Did Tikhonov often talk to you?

When I was at CSKA, not really. Still, Viktor Vasilyevich was engaged in more global problems. Moreover, he often left for the national team. Yuri Moiseev worked with us more. Paradoxically, we talked much more with Tikhonov after I left CSKA. We have a very good relationship with him. I think his opinion was taken into account when I was invited to the Russian national team at the age of 30 and made the captain at the last Izvestia Cup. I didn't think that I would ever get into it, but in the end I succeeded.

- In the 1990s, you played in Slovenia and Germany. How long did it take to adapt?

In terms of everyday life, I fit in there quickly, although in terms of character, Europe did not change me, because I went there as an accomplished person. At the same time, Slovenia and Germany added a new understanding of how to build relationships in a team. The main difficulty was that there was more demand from foreigners than from locals. You come to a foreign country, you get more playing time - your mistakes are more scrupulously sorted out. They dig inside and out in your game. And for a long time. You have to prove every day that you are better. In terms of recovery and training process learned a lot in Germany. Thanks to this, I finished playing until the age of 36, despite the injuries. Moreover, even with a sore back, I was offered a new contract in Samara. The leadership of the CSK VVS was ready to wait for me to recover. But here I didn’t want to take the place of other guys, being in such a state.
