Sharonov spoke about the principles of the game “Rubin” under Berdyev

SKA-Khabarovsk head coach Roman Sharonov told Sport Day by Day about the principles of Rubin’s game under the leadership of Kurban Berdyev.

At the end of 2022, Berdyev became the head coach of Sochi. Prior to this, the 70-year-old specialist coached the Iranian Traktor.

– Usually it is a rigid structure with an emphasis on the organization of defense. The word “bus” is not clear to me at all. I wonder how his Sochi will play now. Unfortunately, we will not be able to play a test match with them at the training camp due to our schedule.

– What were the playing principles of the “Rubin” Kurban Berdyev, in which you played?

– We had to clearly take the positions that he demanded.

— Did some players have any freedom?

– It depends on what we mean by this word. In defense, each player occupied certain positions. If we are talking about the attack, then it was more based on the understanding of the episode by the players. In 2009, which was the best in terms of attack, that selection of players created a balance in the game of Kurban Bekievich. The numbers also say this – we were leaders in goals scored and conceded. In my career it was perfect football both in defense and in attack. But he recruited players, so this is not an accident.

Berdyev headed Rubin from 2001 to 2013, and then returned to the Kazan team in 2017 and worked until 2019. Under his leadership, Kazan won the Russian Championship twice (2008, 2009), once the Russian Cup (2011/2012), twice the Russian Super Cup (2010, 2012), twice took part in the Champions League group stage, managed to reach the ¼ finals of the Europa League.
