On the other hand, he will have information about what teams do, how they prepare, what kind of logistics they have, what kind of support they have. The task of the head coach is to know what is happening in all the teams, to keep the situation under control. Perhaps someone has concerns, but I know Valery Nikolaevich well, we are talking frankly with him, so I think we can work calmly, ”Maigurov quotes TASS.
