Returner

After the “gold” of the Olympiad-88 in Seoul, he realized that the record peak on his native land was conquered, he went transit through Canar and France, with a short return to the President of the Union Basketball Federation, to the States. I coached student teams there. I returned most likely because I was used to being the first, and in this case it was necessary to go for the ocean a lot earlier. The process of turning Soviet basketball into Russian went without it. He returned and stunned.

Belov Sergey Aleksandrovich, the student, occupies all the main posts, and in the federation is preserved, and the national team trains (even the pope did not allow himself to be such a combination): in Samara, and especially in Saratov, local clubs raise their heads, threatening to finish with Moscow hegemony. And in the native CSKA trouble. There is no money, the team is on the verge of collapse, but, surprisingly, they do not meet the ladder about the wise of the council, not to mention help, do not beg. Well, let's wait ...

Alexander Yakovlevich was waiting until the fall of the 97th. Until the moment when it was already completely bad at the army club. The question of whether the team will exist, the rite ceased to seem

RIC. And then the master appeared all in white, and not one, but in the company with anximimbank. As a result, a few months before his 70th anniversary, the Savior Gomelsky became the president of the club. And who else should they be if the head of the ONEXIM Mikhail Prokhorov is his “contact”. And A. Ya. The only one who can be directly related to him, "to resolve questions." And there are many questions.

The fact is that now the Basketball CSKA is a joint -stock company, where three quarters of the shares belong to Onexima, and the remaining central sports club of the army. The bank was put on “reigning” a specially created “CSKA-Holding” structure, in fact, an intermediate instance for transferring money from bank to club. The responsibilities of finding additional financial injections, advertisers also lie on it. It is not surprising that pretty quickly the holding leaders began to consider themselves a really ruling force. All kinds of conversations are going on about the style of “leadership”: about the underpayments and delays of money, leaving the club of almost the entire administrative link from the team head of Yuri Yurkov and the second coach Yevgeny Kovalenko to the pressing of Yevgeny Zirlin. The holding does not pay those who leave. But God is with them, with rumors. In the end, the domestic policy of any Russian club is a secret for seven seals and a personal work of leadership. Although it is impossible to discount, for example, the clearly ugly course of the new owners in relation to the female team, which, despite the preliminary promises of “take under the wing”, was left without support. The result is sad: the star team of the Ronnetti97 Cup (the highest European trophy in women's club basketball) no longer exists.

At the same time, in many situations with Gomelsky they are not even consulted, although the holding’s leadership is obliged to resolve important issues with the participation of the president. So, oddly enough, Gomel can be called the master of the situation in the club. Even by Russian standards, not to mention the Western ones. The bottom line is that Alexander Yakovlevich is cut off from solving current financial issues. But, on the other hand, take Gomelsky now - the situation will change dramatically. He always stands on the side of the players. And it can still be drawn any bridges. But should the president do this?

To compare at least with Samarez Vladimir Rodionov, who was and is the sovereign owner of his Avtodor. It is good or bad - the second question, in the post -crisis period, the economic hardships of the entrepreneur Rodionov painfully hit him in the role of the owner of the team. But there are other examples, say, Kazan UNICS. The expraudus, who had lost his financial capabilities at some point, transferred the brothers to the Boards of the Board of the Board of the National Bank of Tatarstan Yevgeny Bogachev - a man with real means. As a result, Kazan today are considered the most prosperous team in Russia.

So far, A. Ya did not manage to change the situation “in his house”. But only for now. If you leave alone the state of affairs inside the club, then in our basketball in general everything goes as it seems correct Gomel. And the President of the RFB was the man of his circle of the rector of the Academy of Physical Education, the successful businessman Valery Kuzin. The head coach of the Russian national team is a beloved student (at least this dad himself says), the mentor of CSKA Stanislav Yeremin.

Hits

The relationship between Alexander Yakovlevich with coach Eremin is a special story. From time to time, rumors arise that the resignation of the main one is not far off. Especially if in a stream of criticism, sometimes falling on Yeremin, the weighty word of the pope sounds. So it was a year ago, when the army team failed a series of matches in the Euroleague. The collision with Eremin took place serious.

“I was never going to expel Stas, says Gomel. - Now only two people - Eremin and Belov - are at a high coaching level. There is no one else so far. Surrending, killing Eremin and staying without a coach? Yes, I wanted to lower it from heaven to earth, his roof went. A person has such a quality: when he wins, he raises his head too high when he loses her lowering it too low. I really like him as a person. But he does not have the same as Belov, male rudeness, such charisma. ”

Despite the fact that Eremin has proved his coaching talent many times, in some way dad, maybe right. Let us recall at least a two -week ago an example of a failure match with the Croatian “Tsibon”, when the army team managed to squandering the advantage of 23 points, indefatigably losing in the last seconds. In such meetings, the coach's mistakes are evident.

In the match with Tsibon, he was confused. Not because a layman. Just at the moments when he really wants to achieve a result, sometimes loses the management of the team. Given with replacements.

Some say that, it was worth Gomelsky to sit on the bench, the team lost ...

Complete nonsense. It’s just that my authority has more influence on judges than the authority of Eremin.

Are you sure that this did not press on the coach?

- And why didn’t this press in the first half when ours won 17 points? Journalists always want to find some rubbish (in fact, dad was more sharply). So I sat on the bench, and Eremin and Pipeshko were confused. Absurd.

Near the players A. Y. was only because he was free from the television portage that evening. And so he is a permanent commentator of all CSKA matches in the Euroleague. Gomelsky’s work with a microphone is a separate phenomenon. It is not the fact that the president is a commentator. Furious, as in life, the pace of management. The pair of consent with his son Vladimir often turns into a conversational show. At the same time, A. Ya. Can afford what any regular telecumentor would be asked from work. Unpleasant assessments regarding their own players and judges are corporate identity. And at the same time, unlimited club patriotism, sometimes leaning over an extremely achievable level. Continuous subjectivity, which, in theory, should not be accompanied by the genre. But this is if the genre is not Gomel.

Save and save

The main problem of today's CSKA is not in players and coaches. Not in sudden failures in the European arena or in the lack of comprehension of the composition. The problem is common for this sport in our country. There is no need to talk about its profitability basketball and did not become a favorite entertainment of either the people as a whole or the middle class. Even CSKA, who collects the full hall at his homeo room at his home matches, is not able to change the situation. Several hundred fans still go to the games of Russian championships, a little more to the fights of the North European League, where the team debuted in the new year. There is a forecast not very comforting, but real. By the summer of CSKA and his sponsors will again be faced with a choice: will there be a team. Not as a team, but as a combat -ready unit, with reasonable claims to a noticeable place in Europe.

And this is why: by the summer of CSKA it will significantly “rise in price”.

There are several circumstances at once. The main thing is that since July, Fiba opens the boundaries in the Old World. That is, in European basketball, the process of the Bosman case will end. Our players will be able to unlimitedly buy not only clubs from poor eastern Europe, including Turkey, but any country, including wealthy teams of Italy, Spain, etc. This factor is very significant and will certainly affect the future of the team. Player contracts rise in price. Although Gomelsky believes that many leaders do not work out and those considerable money that they receive now. Be that as it may, almost all leading basketball players of CSKA (except for the 19-year-old Super Talant Andrei Kirilenko) ending the coming summer with the club.

Will sports patrons go to a sharp increase in salaries? It's hard to imagine. And most likely, in the new conditions, it will be simply unrealistic to hold army stars.

So so far only one thing is clear: no matter what happens, Gomel and in his 72 will be the main participant in events. They never talk about him without intonations, painted with a biased attitude from love to hatred. The glory of not only a cruel, but also a real master of intrigue was firmly entrenched in him. In personal communication, dad is a darling. Galant, my dear, attentive and thoughtful. In any case, the inconsistency of nature is clearly akin to the dual nature of his beloved basketball and only confirms the idea of ​​a system of counterweights of this world, in which God and the devil shared the spheres of influence. The rules of the big game A. Ya. Know the Nazubok. Apparently, the best ...

Almost ten thousand personal sites are registered. It is more correct, however, to call them home pages and understand that the vast majority does not even deserve a fleeting visit. There are, however, brilliant exceptions, the site “alexp's games” (www.krasnet.ru/game/), which is part of the “home” site of Alexei Podvalikhin from Krasnoyarsk, may well compete with Runet giants. An unusual design does not interfere, although it does not contribute. The main value of “alexp's games”> a rather large set of online intellectual (and not very intellectual, but funny) games. Those who wish can recall the golden childhood when there was a lot of time to play “bulls and cows” (calculating the order of numbers in the mysterious number), and in “Balda” (game with words), and in “Viselitsa” (also guessing words), and even thimbles (you will not “get it” for money). Hit of the season game “Words, Words, Words”: It is necessary to make the maximum number of words only from the letters of the word proposed by the host during the day. From the word “motorcycle”, the compiler of Save AS was able to extract only 185 words, while the winner inexplicably managed to present 256 words. Not everything is smooth with built -in dictionaries: it turns out that the words "Templar", as it were, does not exist. However, the rivals are worthy. Passive entertainment in the “World of Wool” section, where a pretty collection of graphic idiocy is collected.
