On April 2, a press conference with the participation of a deputy was held at the press center of “Southern Urals” State Duma RF, Colonel General Viktor Mikhailovich Zavarzin and Minister physical culture, sports and tourism Oleg Igorevich Pivunov. Oleg Igorevich opened the press conference and introduced the new head coach of the team, Andrei Alekseevich Martemyanov, to the meeting participants.

Reference:
- born on March 30, 1963 in the city of Sverdlovsk (Ekaterinburg), international master of sports, champion of the USSR in 1984. He played as a member of the country's national team, winner of the tournament for the prize of the Izvestia newspaper (1992).

A student of the Sverdlovsk schools “Spartakovets” and “Yunost”. In the 1981-1983 seasons he played for the Sverdlovsk Avtomobilist and was called up to the junior and youth national teams of the USSR. In 1984 he played for CSKA Moscow. In 1985-1991. - Avtomobilist player. After the collapse of the USSR, he played abroad, in 1992 for the Slovenian Olimpia, and from 1993 to 1995. - for the German Kölner Haie and Ratingen. In 1995 he returned to Avtomobilist, but finished the season at Metallurg Magnitogorsk. In 1997-1999 - player of CSK VVS (Samara).

He worked as a coach for the Samara CSK VVS, the Tyumen Gazovik, the Voskresensk Khimik, and 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 Krasnoyarsk VHL club Sokol.

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

Then the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Colonel General took the floor V.M. Zavarzin, who congratulated the new coach of Orchan, wished him success and victories, which numerous 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 Southern Urals, that I could say I fell in love with the city and its wonderful residents. Hockey in Orsk is more than hockey. Ordinary people of different professions, social classes, and many schoolchildren gather in the crowded stands.

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 Hockey Federation Vladislav Aleksandrovich Tretyak visits Orsk with pleasure and always speaks warmly about the Orchans. 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 performed as part of the Moscow Army, where he became the champion of the USSR. He had the opportunity to play under the guidance of the legendary Soviet coach Viktor Vasilievich Tikhonov, about whom he spoke with great warmth at the press conference, told and interesting fact from the past.

Viktor Vasilyevich was a real hockey fan,” noted Andrei Alekseevich. - He could work 18 hours a day. I remember I woke up at three o’clock in the morning and, walking along the corridor, I noticed the open door of the coach, he was enthusiastically inventing something at his desk, writing, and already at 8 o’clock in the morning he was doing cross-country with the team. During a difficult period of persecution great coach I supported him, never betrayed him. Viktor Vasilyevich stimulated me in many ways coaching work, helped with advice.

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

Andrey Alekseevich Martemyanov shared what he saw during his several hours in Orsk:
- I walked around the sports palace, the new one football stadium, however, I didn’t have time to visit the second ice rink... Everything is impressive! Compared to ten years ago, this is a huge step forward. All conditions for fruitful work have been created for the team.

Apparently, that’s why he made the final decision that the pre-season training camp would be held in Orsk. The mentor of our ice team said that he does not intend to radically change the composition of the team, he knows many of the players, their skill level and capabilities, but the changes will be, as they say, targeted. There will be a screening of candidates for the team, and the players of the youth team “Southern Ural - Metallurg” will be given a chance. Now everything will depend on the young hockey players themselves, on their determination and desire to play in the VHL.

Currently, as Oleg Igorevich Pivunov noted, Oleg Marzoev, Roman Muzychko, Maxim Vedkalov remain on the team, and negotiations are continuing with the rest of the hockey players who are still in the team’s camp to conclude new contracts. The question of the team's second coach remains open.

A.A. Martemyanov will stay in Orsk for several 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 team coach Andrei Vladimirovich Skomorokha.

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

Andrey Alekseevich Martemyanov(born March 30, 1963, Sverdlovsk, RSFSR, USSR) - Soviet and Russian hockey player, trainer. Champion of the USSR (1984). Master of Sports of international class. Currently assistant head coach hockey club"Amur" (Khabarovsk), playing in the KHL.

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

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

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

About the match against SKA

“A game with the leader of hockey is a really big event for the club, for the team and the entire hockey community, especially in Khabarovsk. I think that we played this match with dignity - we worked and fought until the end. This is confirmed by the goal Alexandra Picara on last minutes meetings. We went forward, wanted to score again and equalize the score. We were hoping to score at least a point. But the level of play and class of SKA is now much higher. All we could do was cover up our gaming shortcomings with dedication and hard work.

Naturally, the main emphasis was on 5-4, and we paid special attention to this. We analyzed SKA's playing technique in this format and tried to close all the loopholes for them as much as possible and didn't let them score. The majority line in which Gusev plays performs especially well, but we tried to close their advantage. Per link Kovalchuk paid attention. As for movement, we paid more attention to defense. We were preparing for the fact that we would have to defend a lot. I think that in the end we did a solid “B”. There are, of course, blots.

But look at the SKA roster - in addition to the Russian national team hockey players, there are guys from the Swedish and Finnish national teams playing there. This is a team of champions. But this is natural: SKA is being formed as a base for the national team, there is no one to blame. If the leadership of the KHL and the leadership of the Russian Hockey Federation put the Russian national team at the forefront, we need to adapt and fulfill this goal. Meeting such opponents on the ice, players understand that they can do a lot. SKA doesn't have many defeats, that's a fact. But self-esteem and self-confidence soars very high, even if you play on equal terms with them.”

About the experience of overcoming failures

“There were moments at Avtomobilist that in my career as a coach I constantly have to deal with - making a team from what we have, motivating, finding a place for each player. This is where my experience lies. Of course, I want to work with a stable team. But the coach works with what they give. There were ups and downs, there were failures and successes - this is a coach's share. But this experience helps me work without unnecessary worries: I am constantly prepared for the fact that I need to patiently and little by little collect the best in people. Club management is patient with this process.

Thank you to the management of Amur for your trust. We had a long series of nine defeats, although we played well. But we endured it, and now we are gradually crawling out of this hole. They believe in us."

About hard hockey

“Hockey is a game that many people love not so much because of the scored goals and beautiful combinations, but because of the toughness. men's sport. Many fans come to watch the exciting, fighting game. I won’t hide it - I like the Canadian hockey style. I grew up with this and became a defender. Yes, I try to instill in my players the same toughness and desire to fight. Because it's part of hockey. Add toughness in every element - and you will grow into a hockey master, there will be results. The player must be able to not only score the puck, but also do the grunt work. Taking the puck and dragging it into the zone is a struggle everywhere. In general, modern hockey is a lot of martial arts, and all of them must be won. Those who are weak in character and physically unprepared leave on their own."

About playing on a small platform

“The Canadian site helped Amur. There was less space, we changed the style of play. It was just not easy to adapt: in the first matches of the home series, I won’t hide, we played as if on the road. We started the season away, and were on the road for a month and a half. Due to our geographical location, we traveled a lot at the start of the season: we had to prepare for the games, arrange visas, and exhibition matches to play and perform at the tournament - after all, 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 amazing shape, and off we go. While we were getting used to it, we managed to lose four matches at home. But we came out of this situation with honor, God willing, it will continue to be 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. How to choose a word... seriousness, probably. It’s not even a style, it’s just a working trait they have.

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

On the other hand, as a coach, it doesn’t matter to me where a person comes from, what country, what city. Task coaching staff— find a point of contact in the player with our team and use it. We don’t have any foreigners, they are all Amur players.

By the way, we don’t pay attention to age either. I regularly hear comments from fans that Vitaly Atyushov Ours is getting old. He came to the training camp in the same uniform as Oleg Li, they had the best preparation. God willing, he will play for another 5-7 years. How he prepares, how he approaches his work - we should follow his example. And the fact that our foreign tigers were born and raised in a different environment is another plus for us. They share their experiences, they have a different perspective.”

About changes in the team

“We have stabilized. The offensive game has improved, our pairings 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 that new players have come in. They have already joined the team - they have felt each other’s elbow, so to speak. I think that the atmosphere is more workable now than at the beginning of the season. The task for the second half of the championship is to move forward. However, I don’t know. There is not a single coach who would not set such a vector for his players."

About the leaders of "Amur"

"Alexey Byvaltsev and Oleg Li are having a very bright season, God forbid that this is not the best season in their careers. The guys are young, they still have time to grow. They justify the trust of the coaching staff, which is why they are developing. We tell them important technical nuances, they absorb them and put them into practice on the ice, preparing properly for the games.

In just six months, Oleg Li has radically changed his attitude towards training and pre-season preparation. He came to the training camp in excellent physical fitness- it was obvious. And his attitude, his serious attitude were also evident.

As for Lyosha Byvaltsev, he is a smart, smart central striker. Nowadays there are few of them. In general, he leads the team’s game, is very confident in himself, and 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 works now helps him prepare properly for matches and give his best.

Picard is a powerful power forward, he understands his purpose in the team and fulfills it. U Alexandra Frolova the tasks are different. For now we have no plans to combine them into one trio. When Pavel Dedunov V in great shape, he and Picard together can bring terror to any team. Frolov is strong on the slot, in keeping the puck and in creating chances - he brings the puck into the zone well. Seizing the moment when a player goes one on one with the goalkeeper is not his main task, but he pushes through the opponent’s defense. Frolov makes excellent use of his size and is good at covering the puck - this is an important skill in wrestling. We have practically no one-dimensional players. Everyone has their own strengths, and we help players develop them. Accordingly, we are trying to improve our weak points.

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

Many foreign players passed through Far Eastern teams. Some people are used to it, like Jan Kolář—he is already an inveterate Far Easterner. It didn't work out for some. When we signed Kvapila, they relied mainly on his sniper qualities. Unfortunately, he didn't show them. It was pointless to watch it during training: you need to watch the hockey player in the game. We let him out on the ice, but it didn’t work out. I treat this situation as a working moment: perhaps at Amur there simply was not a suitable environment for Kvapil to fully reveal his qualities. Scorers are generally extremely sensitive to the situation - they need a reliable partner who will “feed” and bring the pucks for the final shot.”

About idols among coaches

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

I have a Soviet hockey school inside. I focus on 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 people didn’t like many of the methods back then. But these were the times of the USSR, then we had a transition period and we were in an incomprehensible state, morals and worldviews changed a little. But in the end we return back to the hockey that was.
There should be moderate democracy in the team. But an iron fist must also be present. All our guys are different, they all have different ages, different views. So that everything best qualities To pull them out, you need to constantly keep your finger on the pulse of control.

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

About the most difficult match

“It was a very difficult game with HC Sochi on their field. We didn’t fully understand why this happened - we lost in almost all components. I assume that the climate also influenced this. We arrived, and there was sea air, almost a resort A velvet season, the aura was not at all combative. It was a very difficult match. We took a point in this meeting - we just chewed it out with our teeth.

This is the entertainment, but also the complexity of any game look sports, and especially hockey. At any moment the game can turn upside down. The match with Dynamo Minsk showed this. We were leading 2:0, we just needed to finish the game. But, apparently, there was already some kind of worm inside: the opponent was not broken, he resisted, and the guys suddenly changed the game. Although there was no such installation. In the end, we simply gave the opponent the initiative and conceded unnecessary goals. It’s good that we pulled it out in overtime.”

About behavior during matches

"Tigers should be led by a tiger, preferably an evil one. I'm joking, of course. I think that the coach's emotions, good or bad, are an additional charge for the team, this is motivation. Being next to the guys, we feel when to praise them, when to cheer them up, when ( relatively speaking) send a message. We send a message to the team so that they accept it and act.”

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

Now Amur is fighting to get into the KHL playoffs. Previously, only Finn Hannu Jortikka 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.

- Why does Amur still remain in the fight for the playoffs?

We retained the core of the team from last season, managing to afford to make targeted reinforcements. Now I see that no one was mistaken. Everyone is ready to fight with maximum efficiency. There are no stars - there is a team in which everyone is equal. If we maintain this mindset for the remaining matches and training sessions, our chances for the playoffs will be very high.

- You were a tough player. Does the level of competition in the KHL now correspond to what was 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 the right way, and teams playing tight, power and speed hockey are beginning 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 meters narrower, there is less space - therefore there is more contact play.

- Does this give Amur an advantage?

We are used to the site. But I would not connect our results with it. This is not the first season that Admiral has been playing at this size. But last season they made it to the playoffs without any problems. Now their results are worse, although for 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 style of play and tips to his partners allowed the rest of the hockey players to quickly adapt and learn the specifics of this style. Our forwards largely played to Alexander and, next to him, they themselves learned to seize chances for shots and passes in a very limited time for decision-making.

- Reanimation of Alexander’s career Is Frolova a difficult task?

There is nothing complicated about this. From the preseason itself, it was clear that the man had a great desire to play hockey - together with his experience and skill, this should significantly strengthen Amur’s game. The role of such people is not only to score goals and distribute assists, but also to prepare for the game and the training process in a special manner. Frolov’s very attitude towards hockey is very important for the rest of the team - from his example, young people learn how to properly prepare physically and mentally.

You had a successful opening away series, winning several bright victories, although many predicted you to have the last place in the East when you first arrive home. But in Khabarovsk the first series was a failure and the starting point reserve was used up. Did the long adaptation to the site take its toll?

There was a connection with her size, but I won’t exaggerate it. We arrived home in Khabarovsk mentally tired. The team spent a lot of time away from home. There was a long trip, first to pre-season tournaments, and then to the starting eight-game away series 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 impact. There was no time to recover psychologically. But through matches and defeats they managed to stabilize the game. Young guys also stepped up, which made it possible to level 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 more than five years for a new chance?

I believe that Avtomobilist did not adequately evaluate the work of our headquarters at the end of the season. In the first year after this, it was difficult to mentally adjust to the VHL. But then the understanding came that we need to appreciate 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 the difficult stage of transition to a new stage, but if you don’t break under the weight of the first failures, don’t turn away from the path, you will gain a foothold. VHL is an excellent school in this sense.

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

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

- The previous headquarters, headed by Ilya Byakin, then went to in full force. How it worked without assistants?

I slept 3–4 hours a day. And he didn’t sleep, but rather dozed. This continued for about a month. Then Andrei Sokolov from Magnitogorsk came to help, and things became easier. The three of us with goalkeeper coach Albert Shirgaziev 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 from myself in terms of preparation for matches, game actions and attitude to life. Even without actually playing for CSKA and only training, you grew a lot as an athlete.

- Who did you play with on the line?

With Sergei Starikov and Sergei Gimaev. In general, the atmosphere in that CSKA was very family-like. I, a guy from another city, at first didn’t understand where I was. But army stars quickly helped me adapt. Then from the first days it struck me how great people Olympic champions, behave very simply in communication. I felt their full support in gaming and everyday life. They offered advice and support at any moment. It was very easy to fit into that team, even if you came from another world, which Sverdlovsk was at that moment.

- With whom from that team did you become closest?

We became friends with Sergei Gimaev and Alexander Zubov. It was not possible to communicate much with the team leaders - they often left for the national team. Therefore, we trained with them more and talked about the game. Vladimir Krutov and Vyacheslav Fetisov constantly provided support and advice. The others also helped. I didn’t want to let such people down even in small things, not to mention matches. I later transferred this experience to coaching, trying to select players and assistants with such a character where mutual respect with partners on the ice is paramount.

The current head coach of Severstal, Alexander Gulyavtsev, who played against you then, told how he received a stick from you on the back during a 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 rush at them with forceful techniques - they will immediately come back to you in response. In this regard, the same Fetisov, Krutov, Makarov, Larionov did not mind. And with their skill they still had to hit them. As, by the way, in Gulyavtseva. Sashka was a very fast player, he was constantly on the move, while controlling the puck. It was very difficult to hit him at the junction. I then hit him with my stick out of despair. Even this was impossible with the army leaders.

- Did Tikhonov communicate with you often?

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

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

In terms of everyday life, I quickly fit in there, although in terms of character, Europe did not change me, since 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 dealt with more thoroughly. They are digging into your game inside and out. And for a long time. You have to prove every day that you are better. In terms of restoration and training process I learned a lot in Germany. Thanks to this, I played until I was 36, despite injuries. Moreover, even with a bad back, I was offered a new contract in Samara. The leadership of the CSK Air Force was ready to wait for me to recover. But now I didn’t want to take the places of other guys, being in such a state.
