The dismissal of Goncharenko, the appointment of Farke and the limit on legionnaires: what Galitsky spoke about in the first big interview in a year

At the beginning of the year, Krasnodar unwittingly became one of the main newsmakers of Russian football.

The club, famous for its trust in coaches, parted ways with Viktor Goncharenko just nine months after his appointment.

At the same time, the reasons for the incident remained unclear until the end.

His place was taken by Daniel Farke, although a few years ago the owner of the southerners, Sergei Galitsky, emphasized that he did not need "all sorts of tuheli" (foreigners. -

).

Before the Germans, only one specialist from far abroad, Serb Slavoljub Muslin, worked with the southerners, who, in addition to Russia, worked in Belarus and Ukraine and knew Russian well.

Rarely giving interviews, Galitsky agreed to talk with journalists from the Match Premier TV channel.

The conversation began just with a discussion of Farke and a reminder to the guest of the same phrase about "all sorts of rotten things."

He stressed that there is simply no person in the club system and the country who is able to lead the team and maintain its corporate identity.

Not immediately managed to find it in Europe.

According to the businessman, negotiations with representatives of the new mentor turned out to be very difficult, and Krasnodar even risked going to the training camp without a helmsman.

“This decision came very quickly for us.

We know what this coach is playing and have looked at his teams for a bit.

We want to have the same football.

And no one knows what will happen with our performers, ”Galitsky emphasized.

In the arrival of a specialist from Germany "with different views", he found many advantages.

The businessman believes that cooperation with the German will enrich the club with new experience, and will only make the league stronger.

The owner of Krasnodar was also asked if he had thought to invite Vladimir Fedotov or Alexander Kerzhakov.

He replied that they are currently working fruitfully in Sochi and Nizhny Novgorod, respectively, and the southerners, in turn, are not a school for experiments to give a chance to all coaches.

Of course, they could not help but ask Galitsky about parting with Goncharenko.

He did not go into detail about the reasons, but stressed that it was not at all about the team leaving for the winter break in fifth place in the RPL standings and leaving the Russian Cup.

“Goncharenko did a good job.

We're out of luck.

If they had taken Wings of the Soviets and CSKA, everything would have been different.

There is a question with the number of players.

Few times he had a full complement.

Yes, we changed the style, but it was not critical.

We continue to play attack and together with Zenit we create the most chances ... But the football that we want to see requires performers of a slightly different level, ”the guest explained.

According to many football fans, not every coach, in principle, is able to work well with the owner, since he is used to being thoroughly interested in the affairs of the team and almost every day to communicate with mentors.

Galitsky retorted in response: he only spoke twice with Farke on Skype.

“You created a legend for yourself that Galitsky needs to talk with the coach every day.

Live with this fairy tale and further.

If the president flies to his club to train, that's good... It's good for the fans too, because they know that the president lives for his club.

But I always said and I say: I will find out the composition for the game along with everyone.

Apparently, we will never break this myth, ”the entrepreneur emphasized.

Separately, he spoke about the personnel situation in the team.

According to him, midfielders Remy Cabell and Victor Klasson are ending their contracts in the summer, and the management is negotiating their extension.

And the pupils of the club Daniil Utkin and Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov may well return from leases at Akhmat and Giresunspor, respectively.

“Shapi needed practice.

He wants to return to Krasnodar, but stronger, in order to get a place in the squad more often.

Shapi is an example of the phenomenal impact of illness on an athlete.

We all watch how Russian football players play abroad.

Suleymanov is starting to get better and better.

We are waiting for him at home,” said the owner.

At the same time, in the winter transfer window, Krasnodar has so far limited itself to two acquisitions.

Paraguayan central defender Junior Alonso and Norwegian midfielder Eric Botheim joined the team.

Galitsky noted that negotiations on them were easy and "within reasonable limits."

From the discussion of newcomers, the guest moved on to one of the most important topics of the interview - financial fair-play.

In his opinion, this innovation had an extremely negative impact on Krasnodar.

Now the southerners cannot afford to have a budget like that of the giants, in particular Zenit, and therefore it will not be easy to compete with St. Petersburg for gold in the near future.

“I have already said that we may never become champions.

Being in football is the ultimate joy.

We want to win the cup, become champions.

But maybe it won't happen in my life.

It will still be the best time I have.

This is our favorite game, ”the businessman admitted.

Perhaps more important than the result for Galitsky is following his own corporate style.

He also continues to believe that someday 11 pupils will be in the starting lineup of Krasnodar.

“Strategy, philosophy are grandiloquent words that are spoken in football.

We train every day, we go out to play on the weekend so that our fans come and see this action.

The strategy for five years to become the champion of the universe - we do not have this.

There is only next Sunday.

We have only one truth - we will bring 11 pupils to the starting lineup, ”the entrepreneur promised.

We discussed with him the reforms brewing in the RPL.

In general, the owner of Krasnodar supported them, but not in terms of changing the format of the national championship draw.

According to him, we should continue to play the usual smooth championship without dividing into the strongest and weakest or the playoffs.

Probably, in the very near future, the changes will also affect the limit on legionnaires.

According to media reports, from next season, participants will be able to enter 12 foreigners and simultaneously release no more than eight on the field.

Galitsky called this scheme optimal.

But it is much more important that strong Russian football players also do not leave the country in search of high salaries.

As an example, he named Dynamo forward Konstantin Tyukavin.

“I love Dmitry Guberniev.

Maybe only because of him I watch biathlon.

But when he says that Tyukavin wants to lie in a warm bath, and not go to the West, I do not agree.

I continue to believe that the best should stay in Russia.

Foreign and Russian football players should play with us to make the championship better, ”the businessman emphasized.

Finally, he spoke critically about the introduction of a fan passport, although he stated that after the adoption of the relevant law, it remains only to adapt to it.

“There are two sides of the coin.

I don't like the complexity of the process.

We are already all under control.

You went out into the street - satellites are watching you.

People who love football should go to it.

But if you come to another city and decide to attend the match, it will be more difficult to do it, ”summed up Galitsky.
