After the draw, the outcome of the match against CSKA in Minsk
within the framework of the group stage of International memorial
construction worker of Ukraine Ivan Sobolev and Boris BelikovPresident
of the handball club "Aviator-Kiev" Andriy Melnyk did not hide his
satisfaction. So the first question suggests itself:
— It seems that your teamà in future country championship would not be limited to the role of a timid debutant?
—
The main objective of our participation in Zaporozhye tournament –
preparation for the championship of Ukraine.Sure thing, we did not
intend to become winners,but we were hopping for the one of tree first
places. By the way, last time in competitions like theese we
participated year before at Juzhnoe, where also arrived teams from
Russia and Belarus.
— Are you happy with that work, which held your club in the off-season to strengthen teams?
—
Absolutely. The first thing, we managed to avoid losses and the second
thing, inviting Sergei Rusinov from St. Petersburg`s «Neva» could make
decision ü challenge of strengthening the position of goalie. In the
future took another goalkeeper – 18-years old Maxim Vysotsky from
Zaporozhye. In general, do you bet on their players. We avoided
high-profile acquisitions, except Andrei Abramov from Juzhnenskij
«Portovic». But if to remember, that in it`s time he join me in
defending the colors of CSKA Kiev, we can assume that an experienced
player returned to native land.
— How was planned preparatory period "Aviator"?
—
We conducted a two-week gathering on the sand near Kiev, and the same
duration of collection on the basis Spartakovskaya in Alushta. Played
there a few test games with the Russian clubs, and then, upon returning
home, held two meetings with Brovary "Áóä³âåëüíèêîì. After Zaporozhye
tournament before the championship of Ukraine are planning to play
another two - three matches.
— You have repeatedly expressed their opposition to the existing system of the national championship ...
—
I
am against what happened with our handball over the past two decades,
when the national championship calendar signed for the season ahead. We
will beat all the bells that preceded the championship draw, as is done
in other European countries, particularly in Spain and
Germany.Moreover, lots can be done or polkruga, or a few rounds.
Championship should have the intrigue, and all sorts of manipulations,
including the "surrender" of games will be excluded. Let`s keep the
debate on this topic.
— With whom?
—
With the guidance of arc. However, we are still afloat and do not know
who directs FSI. But we want the championship yet begun. Let the
high-ranking officials to ascertain the views, but the sport, and above
all, the players of the leading clubs because of this, should not
suffer.
— So, are you happy with the current format International handball league?
—
Here are lots of questions. Not all, even the most powerful clubs today
are wealthy. For example in Ukraine it can be «ZTR» and «Portovik», but
the third medalist — «Budivelnyk», as I know,is difficult situation. If
cause of thees reasons he is not able to pay the piper for
participating at championshep MHL, there is no reason
to fill the vacancy from a country known to be weak.
— By the way, what goal do you set for the "Aviator"at next championship in Ukraine?
—
I tink, we are able to get to the first fife best. In Zaporozhye
tournament we were not able to reach their potential because of lack of
due to injury of several key players, and they can actually strengthen
it.
— The structure of any professional club provides for
schools, than is preparing reserve for the team. Does «Àviaor » have
is`s own school?
—
To do this we need an appropriate base. Close time we will begin
construction of a small sports complex with a hotel. For now we sighed
contract with junior sports school
that is situated not in Kiev region, but in the region, which has
glorious traditions of handball.
