Leonid Tambiev coach biography

This Latvian comments are worthy of praise no less than Larionov. The other day, the Nizhny Novgorod hockey fairy tale gained its continuation. To everyone who did not believe in the viability of romantic hockey in the playoffs, Torpedo and Igor Larionov responded with a bright victory over Dynamo in the first round of the Gagarin Cup. Having won three overtime in a row, the car driver created a mini-sensation and simply pleased everyone who loves hockey for creativity.

However, a little earlier a full-fledged sensation was created by the “Admiral”-in some way the Antagonist team “Torpedo”. The success of Torpedo and Admiral is similar to the fact that both Anderdogi teams. Even though Nizhny Novgorod in the series with Dynamo were sown above and had the advantage of their site. Everything, one way or another, rests on the budget.

He, if we talk exclusively about salaries, is almost minimal in Nizhny Novgorod and Vladivostok - less than millions of rubles. However, about the “sailors” they do not say less as an example, and no one calls their mentor Leonid Tambiev. Maybe in vain? Dmitry Soroka, Photo. And not for a decent defeat, but for victory in the final. And what is even more valuable - he achieved this with different teams!

What is in St. Petersburg, that in Karaganda he left a bright mark. True, not only positive. Despite the luxurious result, some players from the exactingness and emotionality of Tambiev climbed onto the wall. And in the "Saryarka", with which Leonid Grigoryevich managed to win the championship of Kazakhstan, he had a conflict with the leadership. And in general, he had the image of a tyrant.

This inconsistency of Tambiev made him treat him if not with prejudice, then with alertness. How does it work with the stars? Will players get tired of the press under which you have to live in the same team with a Latvian specialist? We received some answers. That is, the acquaintances of Tambiev and the level familiar to him. The star in Vladivostok is one - Czech Libor Shulak, and even then with a stretch.

The Latvian does not work with the team for too long for the players howl from him. And the style ... The hero of the first day of the playoffs KHL is a goalkeeper who took 55 shots! How can you comment on this? I am a nasty coach, a nasty hockey team plays. I am harmful, they are harmful. This year we have such a philosophy. Here is such a team, ”Tambiev answered in January. Even earlier, Tambiev in an interview for Allhockey.

In the KHL, if you are not physically ready, with one hand and your head you will not play. I believe that the times of luxurious hockey have long passed. Only the training and excellent physical training give the player a chance to show his best hockey and be competitive in this league. ” Far East grab the opponent in the middle zone. They do not really let them scatter. As they say, "scoop up jackets." The Tambiev team is one of the unsuccessful in the season, and this is what allowed her to go through Salavat Yulaev, as well as the magnificent goalkeeper Nikita Serebryakov.

The Ufa people wanted to endure the most patient team of the KHL, on which they burned. True, to consider this “admiral” a typical Tambiev team is also not very correct. Working in the VHL that Dynamo from St. Petersburg, that Saryarka played total pressure, constant forekering, covered the loss of loss, imposed a struggle. Because according to the VHL we had many creative players who were able to many things, ”Tambiev himself believes.

The game "Admiral" rarely pleases the eye. It is unlikely that the "sailors" have many fans outside the Far East.

However, what is not allowed to top clubs is quite normal for one of the poorest teams of the League. The cowardly game “Salavat Yulaev” is fragmented, while dozens of blocked throws each match performed by Admiral players is really a feat. And on these feats they are raised by a Latvian, which fundamentally does not complain of flights and a change of time zones.

And Tambiev could not get to Vladivostok last summer. The Latvian KGB is ready to pursue hockey players for the game in the KHL in late July information appeared that Latvian players and coaches working in Russia fell under the development of the state security service. Eliseev, playing for the "Admiral", even missed most of the preseason. They crushed the head coach of the “sailors” in his homeland, but despite the threat of criminal prosecution, he did not abandon the team.

And the General Director of the Far East Alexei An even suggested Tambiev to help with the registration of Russian citizenship.
