Ovchinnikov arrived late for a meeting of Russian football coaches. But immediately fell into the circle of fans. A rare specialist did not want to shake his hand. What if you still have to meet on the field? It will be easier to agree. At the end of the event, the vice president of Tallinn Levadia looked pleased.
- How did you sit with your colleagues?
- Not bad. We have organized a coaching union. I want to say thanks to Mikhail Gershkovich. He got down to business.
- Will coaches be okay now?
“They will be protected.” Streamlined work. Now we will not be dust on the shoes of the presidents of clubs. And the Russian Football Union has confirmed that it is interested in us.
- Did the coaches lack protection?
- Of course! And now we will be protected from lawlessness.
- Will there be a tax from clubs inviting foreign specialists?
- We have not voiced this yet. But, I think that such a tax should be.
- What for?
- But it is necessary that this way ... They, these foreigners, work according to our methodological literature. I know. Lippi told me about this ...
- So why the tax?
- To protect the workforce. It applies everywhere.
- Here you are working abroad. Would you be pleased if there was such a tax?
- Enter - for God's sake. However, in Estonia I have a residence permit. And for foreign trainers in Russia - only a work permit. There is a difference?
- Perhaps.
- We need to take money for inviting foreigners. About a stack. Or two hundred. Thousand. Dollars. And let this money on the development of children's football. Or, for example, to coaching courses. Yes, anywhere!
- This is wrong.
“And I think that's right.” Let the youth who are now studying at the Higher School of Economics study work. From there, every year a group of gifted people is released.
“But foreigners are not the last to work with us either.”
- I do not understand the question.
- Lawyer, Weiss ... How to tax them? Some Middle Ages.
“You consider them to be good specialists.” And I believe that our youth is stronger.
- Are you going to return to Russia?
- There would be suggestions. Those that are do not suit me.
