FC Terek Grozny coach Stanislav Cherchesov in his interview with the official website of FC Terek Grozny spoke of newcomers Adilson and Ivanov and passed New Year greetings to fans.
- Stanislav Salamovich, in his interview with our website, club president Magomed Daudov said that you were keeping an eye over Adilson’s performance in Brazil. Could you please provide more information about that?
- When there are certain positions to be strengthened, it is natural that you have to collect and check information, watch DVD and live performances. When it comes to Adilson, I was pleased by what I saw. He corresponds to my understanding of how player of his specialization should perform. He has skills and qualifications to strengthen our team. He has German background in his family tree. And German discipline, Brazilian temperament and football skills are exactly what Adilson has. This will help him quickly adapt in Terek and improve our performance.
- You also wished to see Oleg Ivanov in our team and the contract with Ivanov has now been signed. Howdidtheideaofhisinvitationoccur?
- It is simple. We need to look at the Russian football market due to the current limit for foreign players. Of course, it is not only about the limit and player’s skills are also important. Oleg was raised in Spartak Moscow. And he did not fully expose his talent in my understanding. He is now at the age when he realizes that football career is short and the potential needs to be utilized. We had a thorough discussion and he understood everything perfectly, so I believe he will not have to be urged on. I am quite confident that we will get back to the level he was at two years ago and will move further. There is always a chance to be invited to the national team and both Ivanov and Adilson have the potential for that. But they both have to stand the competition and earn the right to appear in the main team, just as any other player in the squad.
- The club president numerously stressed that you as team coach have full authority in transfer issues. Howimportantisthiskindoftrustandconfidence?
- It is indeed important to enjoy trust and have the authority. All ideas about different players are discussed together and we do our best to take correct decisions.
- What else can you say about selection? It looks promising that more newcomers may be expected.
- It would be ideal to complete with transfer issues by the time the first camp starts, but we definitely understand that this hardly ever happens. We continue searching for players and I would like to call on fans to show patience and to not believe in rumors and false publications. As the club president stated in his recent interview, we hold negotiations discreetly and without advertising. The only source of trustworthy information is the official club website.
-Terek players gladly give interviews to the club website and state that they work on maintaining their shape despite the vacation. Will you hold players responsible for extra kilos and what is acceptable extra weight after vacations?
- Well, interviews are among duties that players have and it is good that they do so, especially for the club website. Club fans are not just interested in watching games, but being updated about what players do on their vacation. They need as detailed information as possible. And when it comes to workouts, we provided players with individual workout plans before vacations. And everything we have planned for the training camp shall be accomplished starting from day one. Players shall be aware that all that is demanded in workout plan shall be fulfilled. People are free to do what they want on vacations. But sportsmen shall also understand that they have to maintain they physical shape. The acceptable extra weight after vacations is within 1.5 kilos.
- What will you focus at during the first January camp?
- We will have to restore previous conditions for players to stand the load they are going to face. We will play two test games. And we would definitely like to complete our program without unnecessary injuries and diseases.
- Stanislav Salamovich, what are your New Year wishes to fans?
-I would like to wish a very Happy New Year to all residents of the Chechen Republic and all fans of Terek. And I wish prosperity in everything – both personal life and points collected by Terek!
