NEPOMNYASCHY: DIFFICULT BUT NOT AWFUL

For the famous world coach Valery Nepomnyaschy, who has headed Tom recently, the match against Terek will be the first in Russia: the 65-year old professional coach has never worked in the Russian championship.

"The conditions for the work are close to ideal," said Valery. "Speaking about the work itself of course there is some excitement and pressure."

"I have never been in Tomsk before, but my impressions are very good, as this is the city with beautiful ancient architecture. You can feel a kind of placation on the streets."

"At the moment I am the general director counselor. You know, I have no license of the appropriate kind at the moment, as the documentation of the USSR is not currently in force. But we are going to solve this problem without any delay."

"Here in Russia the tension is higher than abroad, I has never been given immediate purposes."

"I can say that there is nothing to panic about, but the situation in the team is not that easy. The goal for the rest nine matches of the championship is to play our game and get all the points possible. I hope we will achieve it."

"I have not yet learnt all the players, it is more important that they recognize me. When they are on the pitch I have less problems with recognizing them than in the everyday life."

"After the match with Saturn I have no complaints about the player's commitment but they seemed to lack self-confidence and I will try to improve that."
