- Why are you so, Leonid Vladilenovich?
- And what happened?
- Why did they kick out the Lada and Tractor from the Super League?
“Who told you that?”
- Transmit from the scene.
- The first time I hear about this. This makes no sense.
“But was there a meeting?” Any important issues discussed?
- The meeting was. The hockey federation decided to find out the opinions of the clubs on some issues. But then they will decide on the executive committee of the FHR. Even if someone said something about the “Lada” and “Tractor” - although this was not, then this is not a solution.
- So these clubs remain in the Super League?
- Of course they stay. Who could have come up with this news?
- Well, everything is clear with the teams. And how did the meeting go? According to what regulations will the championship be held next season?
- What regulations can we talk about now, if we don’t know how many teams will participate in the tournament?
“At least about ...”
- Approximately 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20.
- So are you inclined to what option?
- I ask you to understand correctly: who for what regulations does not matter. Now there are rules: two clubs fly out, one comes in. So?
- So.
- Plus Moscow Spartak is added. But it is not clear who will come from the big leagues. The Super League can be replenished by a team whose infrastructure does not comply with the regulations. Here, for example, “Torpedo” (Nizhny Novgorod). But he doesn’t have a stadium for 5500 spectators.
- It seems that they found a way out.
- Found it? Then good. By the way, “Lada”, “Tractor”, as well as “Vityaz” also do not have normal arenas for holding competitions in the next season. But no one excluded them from the Super League. They can find a way out: conclude agreements with sports palaces that comply with the regulations, even in Chukotka. I know that “Tractor” is offered assistance by Magnitogorsk and Yekaterinburg. In general, all this is not very important.
- Why?
- Yes, because it will still be the way the executive committee of the Russian Hockey Federation decides.
“They called you just to listen.” What did they hear?
- Various topics were discussed. But all the same, the executive committee has the last word.
- Then the question is about “Chemist”. What's up with the team?
- If we knew, then we would not have nine defeats in ten matches. Need to work. I hope the black streak breaks off in a meeting with Wings of the Soviets.
