Shame with powers

The press conference of Stanislav Cherchesov could not be listened to the complete absence of any meaning

The head coach of the Russian national football team Stanislav Cherchesov, during his almost three-hour press conference, uttered several understandable and relatively logical phrases. All officials and politicians, and members of the United Russia party, can definitely take one of them in the first place. The day before, at a meeting of the Technical Committee of the Russian Football Union, the performance of the Russian national team at the European Championship was recognized as unsatisfactory (one victory, two defeats, the difference between the clogged and missed balls 2-7, the last place in the group “B”, and the unofficial title of the most gray team of the tournament). The answer of Stanislav Salamovich is like this: “I do not agree that the work is recognized as unsatisfactory. The result is unsatisfactory. And the work was done "from and to."

From the head coach, they expected the explanation of what led to an undesirable, to put it mildly, result. What was this work that ended so deplorable. The expectations turned out to be in vain, because to expect a high-ranking high-ranking from a civil servant-and Cherchesov considers his position to be state-owned-any recognition of his own mistakes is absolutely pointless.

And to whom to a person who was entrusted with such a serious post, to report? Before journalists - yes funny. Before negatively tuned fans? What do they understand?

Before experts? Yes, they are staff officers - unlike Cherchesov, who considers himself a field commander. True, he also called himself a "soldier of his country", so it is worthwhile to figure out the powers.

So, the “field commander” of the unit, called the “national team of Russia”, completely failed the main tournament of the three years, and did not fulfill the task set for him. According to Cherchesov, he was not invited to the position - “it was an appointment that is not discussed. This is an order for execution. They gave me a task - and I fulfill it. For five years now. " There is no concept of “order” in football, but we will take the terminology of the head coach of the Russian national team for the given. He coped with the task for three years, he stopped further, until he completely filled up the matter. Logically, the answer must be kept according to the order - at first to the immediate commander, that is, President of the RFU Alexander Dyukov. The meeting took place, but there was no conversation about the resignation, according to Cherchesov,. Everyone is waiting for something.

And what can be a resignation if “you must first exhale, and calmly come to everything. And we will talk about the resignation calmly and in a businesslike way ... to say “thank you, goodbye”, you can. And who will continue to do is already more difficult. We are not playing in the sandbox. ”

Bravo, Stanislav Salamovich, you are in the state trend. Indeed, who will do if not him? Does it remind you of anything?

It doesn’t matter how to do it - it is important that he, and how it turns out, must be discussed. Calmly, really, with arrangement. Here is another quote from a press conference:

“In sports, the head coach is responsible for the result. If there is no result, you have to sit down and talk. ”

More about the "state business." According to Cherchesov, "from the first second of taking office, I consider it state." “Serves Russia” Stanislav Salamovich for a reason, it was estimated at 2.5 million euros per year -the fourth position among all the main coaches of the teams-Euro 2020 participants. I somehow mentioned that the salary of the head coach of the Denmark of Kasper Julmann is ten times less. The Danes, as you know, did not leave stone on the stone from our valiant team, and this is a decent reason to ask the loser coach, why does the civil servant receives that kind of money?

It’s not a salary, but to understand the word “responsibility” not abstractly, as usual among the Russian authorities, but quite specifically, without smearing the word on the table. I could not do it, allowed a failure on the site entrusted to you - go immediately. To stay after such a shame that happened with the Russian team-and Stanislav Cherchesov, judging by this extremely vague press conference, is not going to leave-means only that that is that that

His degree of responsibility is extremely low. Like everyone, however.

Stanislav Salamovich Cherchesov, who has been a good goalkeeper in the past, who spent almost half of the matches for the national team, has merits, the main of which is the exit to the quarterfinals of the 2018 home championship. Not all, far from all the entry into the eight of the best teams are considered an outstanding achievement, and even more a triumph, but we will take on the given and title “Honored Master of Sports” to all players, and the Order of Alexander Nevsky to the chief coach. The access to the final part of Euro 2020 is also in many ways the merit of Cherchesov and his headquarters. But it was only half the battle, and the head coach knew what he was signing.

Yes, there were objective difficulties - and who did not have them? Yes, the choice of football players who can play on equal terms with the best teams in Europe are negligible. But it is not so small that his team goes to the match with the favorite on the half -bent, and the head coach says that "on the run we are the second after the Czech Republic," and he had only one complaint to the team after the match with Belgium: "They did not get the Belgians, they didn’t receive a single cards." Very cherished. As well as the fact that “I will not have a psychologist in the team”, obviously, there will be a confessor, which, it seems, has already been proposed by the Cherchesov team.

"Our players want, but cannot." "Those who seem to be - not in one state for one reason or another." "It was possible better, it was possible." Here, in fact, all the revelations intended for the audience, which Stanislav Salamovich, if you proceed from his brutal-prosthetic communication style, frankly does not respect. Of course, an outstanding coach can be a person who does not shine with intelligence, and just a frank boor, and all this can be given out for character characteristics, and to say goodbye to almost everyone - but for the time being, when listening to the revelations of the “state man” becomes simply unbearable.

But not our opinion is important to him. He broadcast live from state heights. And if someone did not understand this, he may be free.
