Variant only one - gold.
Variant only one - gold.
The World championship starting on April, 29th in St.-Petersburg
Should end on May, 14th with a Russian national team victory.
Other simply cannot be - last time the World championship in
To our country passed in 1986, and the Russian national team became
First-ever last time in 1993, then even on
Podium never got. So at home ours
The command is simply obliged to win, as for a long time a national team
Russia did not collect under the banners so qualified
Executors: the starting demand of owners included goalkeepers Bryzgalov
From "Frets", Podomatsky from Yaroslavl "Torpedo", defenders
Marks, Havanov from "Dynamo", forwards Sushinsky from "Avant-guard",
Kudashev, Haritonov and Prokopyev from "Dynamo". Other 13 players
Represent NHL clubs.
Day the first. Questions more than answers.
Canada-Japan - 3:0. Here all was primary clearly, though
The Japanese trainer also was distressed at press conference about, how
Many the goal moments were not used by its wards.
Czechia-Norway - 4:0. Czechs are, of course, stronger, and first of all in
Individual skill. If Scandinavians, having put 34 throws,
To time have not become successful, Slavs have thrown 30 times and four times
Have hit the mark.
The USA - Switzerland - 3:3. Two confused commands which have amused
Public confused hockey without any signs of the hockey
Thoughts.
Russia - France - 8:1. All of us already "obureli", that is have got
Under magic of a phenomenon of unique skill of Paul Bure. Despite
That, certainly, best player of owners in this meeting was
The pupil of Petersburg hockey Maxim Sushinsky, thrown 3
Washers, organizers have handed over a prize of the best player to the Storm.
The forward "Florida panters" did not leave at all on predmatchevuju
raskatku.
Has played to the Drill, as well as all command, in a weakening mode -
franztsuzy in advance have reconciled to a role of a victim. But anyway,
Fragmentary Russians showed rather impressing
Combinational game, and in the rest were the soloist who in what is ready.
To drill, of course, a miracle, and few times it has forced tribunes to blow up from
Delight: imperceptible elegant movement - a goal and replacement of the goalkeeper at
Frenchmen. However, in a starting match to expect bolshego from ours
It would be naive.
Outside of ice.
As well as at all large competitions, where they
Occurred, in the first days it is enough organizational overlays.
If I in turn behind accreditation had to stand about an hour in
Day of opening of tournament many colleagues have killed in this purely
The Soviet turn of beaten two hours, though procedure (search
Surnames in the computer, an instant photo and lamination most
akkreditatsionnoj cards) has occupied all pair of minutes. And then at
More than 300 journalists the weight of their questions remained without the answer.
Regulations. What idiot has guessed to begin evening matches in
20.30 Moscow time? It means, that the majority of games
Televiewers will see in record, and to the colleagues passing the information in
"Number", it is necessary to hasten fairly to have time to give out on mountain
Material: for example, the match Russia - France has ended at 23.00.
Well though, that final game will begin on May, 14th at 18.30.
The prices. Certainly, for Europeans some tens dollars -
It is nonsense. But for Petersburg, where a standard of living though and above, than
In Kazan, but more low, than in Moscow, the prices for tickets not simply
Bite, and burn down hands. Only tickets for the most inconvenient places for
Collars on 5 and 10 dollars scatter on hurrah. Other places
Stand from 30 to 60 dollars for the period of group tournaments, then
The prices will increase several times. No wonder, what even on a match
Opening Russia - France, before which beginning public personally
The president of the country Vladimir Putin, the best places welcomed on
To the central tribune remained free. In official hotel
The championship "Moscow", (do not believe newspapers, that in Peter is impossible
To find a place in hotels - say lies colleagues) to spend the night in number
With comfort level in two stars, it is necessary to lay out from 30 to 100
Dollars for a night! Such prices are not present on many European resorts in
Height of the season! Wild capitalism, it also is the wild.
And still it is more than pleasant impressions. Weather in the northern
To capital pleases an eye and the body is time. A new Palace of sports in
Use "Peter the Great" who has received the name, but officially while -
"The new arena", costs separate conversation.
Level of comfort for spectators and journalists here is that, that
Without any questions this Palace which has managed in 80 million
Dollars, already now name the best in Europe.
Acoustics here is that, that easy exclamations from the thin
The tribunes containing 12324 spectators, turn to a powerful echo.
Therefore 10000 direct eyewitnesses of a match Russia - France
Have created such inexpressible atmosphere what to look hockey was
Huge pleasure. A press box, the huge press centre too
Impress. The sports Palace "Anniversary", where has fairly looked younger also
There was a third skating rink - builders have tried on conscience. Thanks
And to the organizers who have made free journey on the city
Transport for the accredited journalists, as well as in 1994 on
"Good-will games": has shown accreditation - and forward.
Day of the second. Hurrah! Yashin in a Russian national team.
Slovakia - Austria - 2:0. Not without a scratch, but it is appreciable more
The strong national team of Slovakia headed three enhaelovtsami,
dodavila the Austrians, having managed to unpack their gate only in
The third period.
Finland - Italy - 6:0. Comments izlishni, and started
Finns extremely quickly.
Belarus - Ukraine - 7:3. Slavic derbi
It has not turned out, as Byelorussians have appeared on a head more strongly
Neighbours owing to higher class, and the main thing were pleased with an eye
Beautiful combinational game.
It is curious, that at once 10 persons from both commands in recent
The past played "Oil industry worker" (), "Petrochemist" and "Ak a leopard". And
Defenders Oleg Romanov (Belarus) and Sergey Klimentyev in
The past season protected colours "Ak a leopard".
Oleg Romanov: "We have won quite deservedly, as ours
The command plays for a long time already present structure and surpasses in experience
Young Ukrainian national team. We have thrown one washer in
The majority, one in minority. Where I will play the following
Season? Yet I do not know. That the management "Ak" has put a leopard
Me on a transfer, has learnt from newspapers. Probably, could and personally to me
To tell about it. However, I and itself have decided to leave by then from
"Ak the leopard" - has not developed relations with the trainer. But I do not understand,
As it is possible to expose me on a transfer, - my contract with Kazan
I have already ended with club also is free from all obligations before
"Ak a leopard", therefore any indemnification for me "Ak a leopard" not
Will receive. Such is destiny of the professional, and any claims and insults at
I was not present, about game in Kazan I still had the warmest
Memoirs ".
Sergey Klimentyev: "Our national team in the championship the youngest,
Its middle age of 25 years, therefore to us while it is elementary not
Teamwork suffices.
Many children only have arrived one of these days because of ocean, so not
All at us has turned out today, often were mistaken, including I.
But we have drawn the third period 1:1, is appreciable vyravnjav a situation
On ice. It is assured, further the national team of Ukraine will strengthen the game and
We still will please ours bolelshikov. Whether I will play for "Ak a leopard" in
Following season? Yet I do not know. I would like it, but
My contract has ended also a management "Ak a leopard" yet
Suggested to prolong the agreement ".
Sweden - Latvia - 3:1. Scandinavians have made very solid
The impression - has passed only 12 seconds of game, and to the goalkeeper of Latvians
Irbe it was necessary to beat off three dangerous throws successively.
Despite mad support of several thousand Latvian
bolelshikov, their command owing to the old age of anything
Could not do. A unique washer of Swedes have passed in
Minority. The goalkeeper shvedoy Tommi Fat, here has excellent played
Only journalists shocked, that on poslematchevuju
Press conference it has come in dark underwear from sweat, not
Having worked to slip on a training suit. Irbe too
It is good, but has just once passed a washer from a zero corner.
Secret notes.
The main news of day - the decision of the arbitration which has allowed Alexey
To Yashin who has refused in the past season to play for "Ottawa
senators "to protect in the World championship of colour of a Russian national team. About
It in the evening on April, 30th to journalists president IIHF Ren declared
Fazel. The information from North American arbitration committee,
Which considers all disputes of NHL and IIHF, has come in Peter after
Dinner on Saturday then the management of tournament at once has been called,
Which has testified Yashin's right to play for a national team
Russia.
And the decision this definitive and to the appeal is not subject.
In spite of the fact that Yashin because of the conflict to "Ottawa" did not play
Almost year, the player of such calibre undoubtedly will strengthen, and very much,
Our national team. A good sign on the start of the championship.
Day the third. Favourites afflict.
Czechia - Japan - 6:3. Gallant to Japanese, they resisted
To operating world champions desperately and even have managed to throw to Czechs
Three washers, the first for itself on tournament.
France - Switzerland - 4:2. Having received weighty slap in the face from
Russian national team, Frenchmen very much sobranno have spent the second game and
Have managed to realise the majority of the goal moments and, for example,
In half of washers have hammered during exits "in private", and
Both Swisses of the of a goal have spent in the majority.
Canada - Norway - 3:4. The victory of Scandinavians first in history
Over Canadians. Losing on a meeting course, courageous northerners
Have managed not only make even the bill, but also to pull out a victory - even
The Canadian journalists did not hide affliction of game of the command.
Russia - the USA - 0:3. Owners have frankly disappointed, switching on
Our superstars Alexey Yashin and Paul Bure, which from time to time
Simply it was not visible on ice. The main trainer of a Russian national team
Alexander Yakushev has noticed on poslematchevoj press conferences, that
"For not clear reasons there was no due spirit on game with
Americans, and we have conceded first of all in psychology, instead of in
To tactics ". I Will dare to disagree with the dear instructor,
As full absence any comprehended,
Combinational game also became the reason of unexpected defeat of ours
National team. If in game with diffident Frenchmen
Individual efforts of eminent stars from NHL have yielded the fruits,
Americans at all were not frightened of loud names. In the end of the second
The period at the bill 0:2 Yankees played minority and their goalkeeper
National team Esh has lost a stick, taking in exchange another at the defender - even
In such comfortable conditions a superthree to the Drill-ZHAMNOV-Kamensk
Could do nothing with self-denying defence of Americans.
Certainly, good fellow Esh who caught and has beaten off everything that flied to it
Gate but if we also take a great interest further in the individual
Game, that, I am afraid, medals to us not to see as the ears.
In the end of a meeting on ice bottles, a toilet paper have departed and
So further. It was necessary to the vice-mayor of Petersburg Gennady Tkachevu to come
In the press centre and to apologise for povedeni the upset public
Before Americans and journalists. Now, it is assured, a mode
Advancements on the Palace it will be serious, on a maximum,
To be supervised. So, on game with Americans in a press box already
There has passed "sweep" about exclusion of persons without the journalist
Accreditations.
