We are watching TV. How to pass the time between series – KHL

Every time on the next cup stage, the teams that have played a different number of matches in the previous round, we usually ask ourselves: what will have the greatest impact on future confrontation – fatigue one of the competitors or caused by a long pause loss of the second of the game rhythm? Compare, if you think about it, is not quite fair, because if in order to maintain the players in good shape, you can take some steps (and coaches, of course, they are taking), the fatigue, if it came to it, do not do anything.

However, it is hardly necessary to attach too much importance to such circumstances. Most likely, they do not determine the final victory, and the difference in skill rivals. But we have also something to do during a short pause between the circles, here and return again and again to the eternal theme, if given a reason

But there multi-faceted process of preparing for the next round one important point in the work on which it takes time, and the greater will be his coaches – the better. It is about studying the opponent, which in modern times by means of viewing and analyzing video recordings.

This is today used in absolutely all the teams, and the expression “watch video” you sure have heard from so many coaches and players . I did not so long ago managed to touch to the process and see how it goes and what really lies behind such innocent and seemingly does not imply much effort expression

Before you begin, “Metallurg” series -. “Siberia “I spent some time watching how the coaches of” Magnitogorsk “watching the video. I hope readers do not expect that I’ll reveal some secrets – it would be very imprudent of me to deceive the confidence coaches. But, I think, to know at least in general terms, that includes video analysis process, you will be no less useful and interesting than it was to me

The work in the coaching office “Arena Metallurg” (as you can see, a very modest and, one might even say cramped) is conducted in two stages. On the ground of a computer Mike Pelino carefully extracted the prepared recording the upcoming matches in the regular championship contender. They are divided into innumerable small fragments united by events: our goals – their goals, our removal – remove them, our transition to the attack – their transition to the attack, our majority – the majority of them, etc. etc. Successful or a failure of a change in management, a successful entry into the zone or irresponsible “bleed” – any more or less significant event of the two games is reflected in the corresponding video. An amazing thoroughness! And it so necessary during the season to process virtually all the matches – you can never know in advance with whom you happen to meet on the cup path

The second step is to study the opponent’s games in the previous series (in this case. – actions of “Siberia” in five games with the “Admiral”). Members of the coaching staff equally divide the amount among themselves, and then share their impressions of what he saw. Exchange, by the way, is in English: Mike Pelino once taught Russian at a level exceeding the purely domestic, but Ilya Vorobyov, Viktor Kozlov and Sergei Zvyagin, a lot to play abroad, well spoken in English, so no language the barrier may be in sight.

and so they sit for hours in front of each other and in the smallest details dismantle all five games,” Siberia “in the first round. As is the case with classroom meetings, analyzed absolutely everything: not only the tactical team play and individual actions of players, but also such things as offenses for which the Siberians and punished, and their rivals.

When it comes to something important, that it is necessary to convey to the players, Vorobyov writes the abstracts on the board: what to say about the game in its own zone, in a foreign, neutral, should be paid to any nuances in the opponents actions Special attention. After a full set of abstracts will be made, players will show video – of course, in much smaller quantities. Here is the problem as to the filmmaker, who in ten hours of footage need to mount a two-hour movie in front of the coaches, which will include all the most important thing you want to tell the world. And that will make an impression on the jury of various film festivals. You never know, you will miss something – will remain without an Oscar. Yes there Oscar without Gagarin Cup can stay, but it is much worse.

Faced with the pre-game coaches in the last day, it was impossible not to notice a light redness of the eye. The reason is clear: behind the three days, ten hours of video. Interestingly, these people in their spare time at least one day a desire to watch television? Hard to believe.

But it is quite clear that there are no small things in hockey, so the extra two or three days, saved by a quick victory in the series, fall just what we needed. However, from this point of view, the opponents are always on an equal footing, because not yet completed his second series, can immerse themselves in the work on the first video. So that “Salavat Yulaev”, stretched to a redistribution of the series with the “vanguard”, the procedure complicated life Vorobiev with his assistants. Of course, they could watch his games, and even live, but also to analyze the actions of both teams, not knowing which of them will have to meet – probably enjoy below average

Here Ufimtsev long ago. We know who their success will bring fate. But this is hardly knowing they helped. It is hard to imagine that the staff Igor Zakharkina on the eve of the seventh match in Omsk wondered. “? So, as we continue to” MMK “will offer»

Well, at least there will not have to guess who is in a better position. Unless, of course, an important role is not played by such circumstances as, for example, the screen diagonal. Suddenly she Ufa more than in Magnitogorsk? And if less? Collision …
