Heinz CSKA basketball. Kyle Hines will be named CSKA captain

American CSKA center, three-time Euroleague champion Kyle Hines will become the second foreign captain in the history of the army club. From 2008 to 2009, this role was filled by Slovenian forward Matjaz Smodis. For the last nine years, the team captain has been Russian Viktor Khryapa.

After parting with Viktor Khryapa this off-season, management and coaching staff The army club considered several candidates, but ultimately the choice was made in favor of Kyle Hines. The 32-year-old basketball player has been playing for CSKA since 2013 and is one of the most titled and respected basketball players in the Old World.

Kyle Hines will be the new captain of the team, a source in the army club told Izvestia. - This is the decision of the president and head coach of CSKA.

Over five years at CSKA, the American became the team leader - the basketball player helped the army team win the Euroleague and receive five gold medals in the VTB United League. The center’s collection also includes several individual awards, including two awards for the best defensive player of the Euroleague (2016, 2018).

“I’ve been in Moscow for five years now and I can safely say that this is my second home,” Kyle Hines told Izvestia. “It’s comfortable here for both me and my family, which is especially important after the birth of our second child.” Do I consider myself a veteran? I'm probably already a veteran (laughs). For me in this case, the main thing is that I experienced both victories and defeats with the team. If the club trusts me all this time, it means I’m doing my job competently and deserve the right to play here.

Last season in the Euroleague, Kyle Hines' statistics were 8.4 points and 4.3 rebounds. In the United League - 9.3 points and 4.6 rebounds. According to the honored coach of Russia, European champion - 2011 Boris Sokolovsky, Kyle Hines deserved the title of team captain.

The captain of CSKA must be a charismatic leader who can lead the team, said Boris Sokolovsky. - Hines is a real fighter. And not only because of its size. He is a person who plays for the team, despite injuries, sores, and some problems. This is how he proved himself back in Olympiacos, with whom he was able to become the Euroleague champion twice. Kyle deserves to be the captain of CSKA, but in order to say whether this is the right decision or not, you need to be familiar with the inner workings of the club and constantly be in the locker room. If I were entrusted with making a choice, it would fall on Russian player. I always lobby for the interests of local basketball players.

In many ways, the injuries of Kyle Hines and Nando De Colo, received in the Euroleague playoff series with Khimki, prevented CSKA from performing more successfully in the Final Four in Belgrade.

If Kyle had been in his optimal form in Belgrade, then CSKA would have had a better chance of beating Real Madrid,” continued Boris Sokolovsky. - This is a very valuable player in Dimitris Itoudis’ rotation. It is not for nothing that he has stayed with the team for five years - this is a lot for a foreign player in European basketball.

The American played in 312 matches for CSKA and, according to this indicator, shares 10th place with Vitaly Fridzon.

A captain in basketball has no formal responsibilities. It’s more of a title that emphasizes that the coaching staff sees in this person something close to an exemplary player,” two-time vice world champion, ex-CSKA forward Evgeniy Kisurin explained to Izvestia. - Hines shows consistent play, always acts in the interests of the team, and is highly dedicated. He has a high batting average. Therefore, I am not at all surprised that after Khryapa’s departure he will become the captain.

It is worth noting that this summer Kyle Hines was also elected first vice-president of the Euroleague players' union (Fenerbahçe forward Luigi Datome became president). The main task of the new body is to protect the rights of basketball players and take care of their health on and off the court.

In his new capacity, Kyle Hines visited the union headquarters NBA players in New York, where he met with NBPA Executive Director Michelle Roberts and Matteo Zuretti, responsible for international relations. The parties discussed cooperation between the two organizations.

“It’s impossible, princess, it’s impossible,” he said when the princess, having taken and closed the notebook with the assigned lessons, was already preparing to leave, “mathematics is a great thing, my madam.” And I don’t want you to be like our stupid ladies. Will endure and fall in love. “He patted her cheek with his hand. - The nonsense will jump out of your head.
She wanted to go out, he stopped her with a gesture and took out a new uncut book from the high table.
- Here’s another Key of the Sacrament your Eloise sends you. Religious. And I don’t interfere with anyone’s faith... I looked through it. Take it. Well, go, go!
He patted her on the shoulder and locked the door behind her.
Princess Marya returned to her room with a sad, frightened expression that rarely left her and made her ugly, sickly face even more ugly, and sat down at her desk, lined with miniature portraits and littered with notebooks and books. The princess was as disorderly as her father was decent. She put down her geometry notebook and impatiently opened the letter. The letter was from the princess’s closest friend since childhood; This friend was the same Julie Karagina who was at the Rostovs’ name day:
Julie wrote:
"Chere et excellente amie, quelle chose terrible et effrayante que l"absence! J"ai beau me dire que la moitie de mon existence et de mon bonheur est en vous, que malgre la distance qui nous separe, nos coeurs sont unis par des liens indissolubles; le mien se revolte contre la destinee, et je ne puis, malgre les plaisirs et les distractions qui m"entourent, vaincre une certaine tristesse cachee que je ressens au fond du coeur depuis notre separation. Pourquoi ne sommes nous pas reunies, comme cet ete dans votre grand cabinet sur le canape bleu, le canape a confidences? Pourquoi ne puis je, comme il y a trois mois, puiser de nouvelles forces morales dans votre regard si doux, si calme et si penetrant, regard que j"aimais tant et que je crois voir devant moi, quand je vous ecris.”
[Dear and priceless friend, what a terrible and terrible thing is separation! No matter how much I tell myself that half of my existence and my happiness lies in you, that, despite the distance that separates us, our hearts are united by inextricable bonds, my heart rebels against fate, and, despite the pleasures and distractions that surround me, I I cannot suppress some hidden sadness that I have been experiencing in the depths of my heart since our separation. Why aren’t we together, like last summer, in your big office, on the blue sofa, on the sofa of “confessions”? Why can’t I, like three months ago, draw new moral strength from your gaze, meek, calm and penetrating, which I loved so much and which I see before me at the moment I write to you?]
Having read up to this point, Princess Marya sighed and looked back at the dressing table, which stood to her right. The mirror reflected the ugly weak body and thin face. The eyes, always sad, now looked at themselves in the mirror especially hopelessly. “She flatters me,” thought the princess, turned away and continued reading. Julie, however, did not flatter her friend: indeed, the princess’s eyes, large, deep and radiant (as if rays of warm light sometimes came out of them in sheaves), were so beautiful that very often, despite the ugliness of her whole face, these eyes became more attractive than beauty. But the princess had never seen a good expression in her eyes, the expression they took on in those moments when she was not thinking about herself. Like all people, her face took on a tense, unnatural, bad expression as soon as she looked in the mirror. She continued reading: 211
“Tout Moscou ne parle que guerre. L"un de mes deux freres est deja a l"etranger, l"autre est avec la garde, qui se met en Marieche vers la frontiere. Notre cher empereur a quitte Petersbourg et, a ce qu"on pretend, compte lui meme exposer sa precieuse existence aux chances de la guerre. Du veuille que le monstre corsicain, qui detruit le repos de l"Europe, soit terrasse par l"ange que le Tout Puissant, dans Sa misericorde, nous a donnee pour souverain. Sans parler de mes freres, cette guerre m"a privee d"une relation des plus cheres a mon coeur. Je parle du jeune Nicolas Rostoff, qui avec son enthousiasme n"a pu supporter l"inaction et a quitte l"universite pour aller s"enroler dans l"armee. Eh bien, chere Marieie, je vous avouerai, que, malgre son extreme Jeunesse, son depart pour l "armee a ete un grand chagrin pour moi. Le jeune homme, dont je vous parlais cet ete, a tant de noblesse, de veritable jeunesse qu"on rencontre si rarement dans le siecle ou nous vivons parmi nos villards de vingt ans. Il a surtout tant de franchise et de coeur. Il est tellement pur et poetique, que mes relations avec lui, quelque passageres qu"elles fussent, ont ete l"une des plus douees jouissances de mon pauvre coeur, qui a deja tant souffert. "est dit en partant. Tout cela est encore trop frais. Ah! Chere amie, vous etes heureuse de ne pas connaitre ces jouissances et ces peines si poignantes. Vous etes heureuse, puisque les derienieres sont ordinairement les plus fortes! Je sais fort bien, que le comte Nicolas est trop jeune pour pouvoir jamais devenir pour moi quelque chose de plus qu"un ami, mais cette douee amitie, ces relations si poetiques et si pures ont ete un besoin pour mon coeur. Mais n" en parlons plus. La grande nouvelle du jour qui occupe tout Moscou est la mort du vieux comte Earless et son heritage. Figurez vous que les trois princesses n"ont recu que tres peu de chose, le prince Basile rien, est que c"est M. Pierre qui a tout herite, et qui par dessus le Marieche a ete reconnu pour fils legitime, par consequent comte Earless est possesseur de la plus belle fortune de la Russie. On pretend que le prince Basile a joue un tres vilain role dans toute cette histoire et qu"il est reparti tout penaud pour Petersbourg.

Meetings of the main person in Bayern with Russian journalists are already a tradition, especially since Bayern has qualified for the Champions League against CSKA for the second time in a row, and the club president Evgeniy Giner- great friend of Rummenigge. The conversation took place at the very Ritz-Carlton hotel where Bayern and. “I don’t know whether there was a fire or a bomb, but we were all taken out into the street and given blankets, like victims of a terrorist attack,” Rummenigge smiles. “The team went to an Irish pub. Okay, I say, but drink less whiskey there.” Jokes aside, but pretty quickly the conversation took a serious turn. This is not surprising, because CSKA and Bayern will have to play without spectators.

This will be the most unusual match of my life. I personally have never had to play without spectators, and I simply cannot imagine how this could be. Football is emotions, life, but without fans... I don’t even know. I'm not sure that UEFA is right in applying this form of punishment. The thing is, sometimes it's just hard to keep track of all the fans. For example, last season we had a case when several young Austrians brought a poster to the game with Arsenal - something like “Gay Gunners”, “Gay Gunners”.

“This will be the most unusual match of my life. I personally have never had to play without spectators, and I just can’t imagine how it could be.”

And UEFA closed next match one of the sectors of the South Stand. I understand UEFA’s concerns, we are also against racism, but you can’t control everyone.

U Russian clubs big problems with fans - Zenit and CSKA constantly suffer because of their behavior. Is there a way to reason with them?
- There is no single algorithm, but general principles can be named. Firstly, new stadiums. After the 2006 World Cup, we have much fewer problems with fans, because in the new arenas it is much easier to control them. And people themselves get used to a certain level of comfort and perceive the match as a vacation, and not as a way of self-expression. Secondly, coordination with the police. Thirdly, constant dialogue with fans. We have a permanent working group at Bayern, which includes representatives of the ultras. We exchange opinions, ask for advice, share plans, but in return we demand appropriate behavior from fans. And you know, for the last three or four years we have had almost no incidents - the working group is working.

There is a lot of talk now about various sanctions against Russia. And many were surprised that St. Petersburg received the quarterfinals of Euro 2020...
- It didn’t surprise me at all. Politics should not be mixed with football. Personally, I'm generally opposed sports sanctions- not only people in the country that are subjected to them suffer from this, but also complete strangers. I remember the 1980 Olympics well. Did anyone benefit from the fact that Western countries boycotted the Games? Therefore, I am surprised by the talk that Russia should be deprived of the 2018 World Cup. I am sure that UEFA shares this position of mine.

- What do you hear about the 2022 World Cup? Are you ready to play in winter?
- So far we have not been able to find an option that would suit everyone. Playing in winter means breaking the entire European calendar. And in the summer in Qatar, football is simply impossible due to the hellish heat. We are getting together and discussing, but so far the matter has not moved forward. Are you asking about the deadline? Well, we still have a little time, but in 2015 we will have to make a final decision. We can't wait any longer.

“The war with Borussia is more of a joke”

- Bayern are often accused of deliberately weakening their competitors by taking away their best players. Götze, Lewandowski...
“I understand the dissatisfaction of fans and colleagues, but such is life. Agree, it would be strange if we took players from clubs facing relegation. Bayern needs best football players. Yes, Lewandowski came to us on a free transfer, and this is always a shame - both for the club, Borussia, and for the fans. The situation with Götze was also unpleasant for them. But we don't win titles because we smile and try to please everyone. Sometimes you have to be tough to succeed.

Recently, there has been a constant war of words between you and the Dortmund management. Is everything so serious, the clubs are in a state of hostility?
- No, this is more and more a joke, we don’t have any war. Yes, there was this story with Royce, when Borussia was very offended. It’s just that journalists constantly wrote that Marco has a clause in his contract that allows him to be bought out for 35 million euros. But I knew for sure that this was not true, and the amount there was not 35, but 25 million. So I corrected the press at some point. And they presented it in such a way that, they say, Bayern is going to buy Reus for 25 million. I didn’t say anything like that and I never claimed that Marco was our transfer target. Although 25 million is not the highest price for such a player.

- But the head of Borussia, Hans-Joachim Watzke, didn’t even want to shake your hand after that.
- Well, that's his business. Indeed, Watzke is excited all the time, and I personally am relaxed. I don't have any problems with him.

A Bayern Munich player should win the Ballon d'Or

- Do you think Manuel Neuer has a chance of winning the Ballon d'Or in 2014?
- . A year ago, Ronaldo beat Ribery at the finish line - remember, the voting there was extended for two weeks. In the summer, Müller and Neuer were in contention for the European Player of the Year title. You know the result - Ronaldo won again. But Michel Platini specifically emphasized that this is a European award, and the World Championship should not play a special role here. But the “Golden Ball” is a different matter, here they simply have to make it clear that in such a year the World Cup is the main thing. We have Neuer, Lahm and Müller, anyone deserves an award at the end of the season.

“If the Ballon d’Or goes to someone other than a Bayern Munich player this year, it will simply be unfair.”

- Do you feel that winning the World Cup has changed the country?
- I'll tell you this: the attitude of the fans has changed. We still have the most world champions. Bayern is always sold out even in away matches, but previously the home crowd was quite hostile towards us. In this same season, people really come to watch the world champions - Neuer, Muller, Lahm, Boateng, Götze. I feel that for people they are no longer just Bayern players, but real heroes. It's a pity I didn't get to experience this feeling. I lost twice in the World Cup finals, but it was especially difficult after the defeat to Argentina in 1986. It was just mine last match for the national team. Of course, a lot of time has passed since then; I’m old enough to be philosophical about everything. But Franz Beckenbauer always says when we meet: “I won one World Cup more than you.”

- How are things going with your other friend, Uli Hoeness? Are you already used to working without it?
- It’s a very strange feeling to come to work and not see Uli in his office. We have been working together since 1991, when I began my career as a functionary. Our rooms were always located nearby, so if I needed to resolve an important issue, I simply came to him. We sat down, drank coffee, and everything was resolved by itself. And now... His office is empty, and I have to work differently. We recently visited Uli in prison, he is in good shape, he has lost 15 kilograms. But it is very sad to see him behind bars.

- Returning to the fans... When Neuer moved to Bayern, he was received very poorly.
- Yes, this is a difficult story. Manuel played for Schalke, and our ultras hate this team with all their hearts - I don’t know for what reason. We have already agreed on the transfer, and then Schalke comes to Munich, and our South Stand is wildly obstructive to Neuer. How ashamed I was! I went to the Schalke locker room after the game and personally apologized to Manuel. He asked me: “Do you still want to sign a contract with me?” “Of course we do,” I replied. “Well, then everything is fine, it’s my job to prove to the fans that I’m the goalkeeper that Bayern needs. Manuel is a very open and brave guy, he himself came into contact with the fans, went to them, drank beer. And now he is almost a legend, a hero.

“Akinfeev will be fine in 2018”

Let's talk a little about problems Russian football. Our players are not in the Bundesliga right now. Why do you think?
- It’s difficult for me to talk about others, but Bayern now practically does not monitor Russian market. You have good players, but we now have a different vector of development. And with the arrival of Guardiola, Bayern is actively working in the Spanish direction. We bought Martinez, Thiago, Bernat and recently Xavi Alonso (Rummenigge pronounces his name exactly like that. - Note from “Championship”). We are very pleased with how he fits into the lineup. In the match with Cologne, Xavi had 206 contacts with the ball - this is new record Bundesliga. I even asked him: “How do you do this, I, as a forward, have never had more than 40-50 per match.”

- Is Alonso’s appearance an initiative of Pep?
- Not only. When Javi Martinez was injured in the Super Cup, we began actively looking for a replacement. Not only in midfield, but also in defense, as Xavi played more often in central defense. Together with Pep, we agreed on Alonso's candidacy. He called the player himself, I called President Florentino Perez, my great friend. And everything worked out. And there is no need to point to his age, yes, he is 32 years old, but this is not a problem. Firstly, everything is individual, and secondly, he ended his career in the national team. This was a very powerful argument. Xavi himself was happy to work with Guardiola. Our coach is a football genius.

In Russia there is a lot of talk about the need to work with young people. Valery Gazzaev proposes to introduce into the regulations an obligation to allow at least one player under 21 to play on the field.
- It might work. Gazzaev visited us not so long ago, and his son Vladimir came for an internship with Guardiola and watched his training. It seems to me that investments in reserve training always pay off. Not quickly, not right away, but they pay off. In 2000, our team lost all three matches at the Euro, and there was general despondency in the country. We simply didn't have any young talent and it seemed like german football Dark times await. That’s when the clubs got together and, together with the German Football Association, agreed on new rules of the game. From now on, each club was obliged to invest a certain amount in youth football. Not everyone liked it, but there was an understanding that it couldn’t be done otherwise. We can say that our path to the 2014 World Cup began exactly then, in 2000.

RFPL clubs are unhappy with the amount of money they receive from television. Germany also still lags behind England or Spain in this regard.
- Yes, that’s true, but we’re starting to catch up. English Premier League- a pioneer in this direction, she has done a fantastic job, and it is not easy to keep up with the British. Even the fact that they English language essentially international. And there are more top clubs in the Premier League than anywhere else. Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Manchester United with our friend Van Gaal must return. (The word “friend” is accompanied by a wide grin. - Note from “Championship”).

- Zenit suffered from the new European fair play system this season. What do you think of her?
- I am very glad that fair play works in practice, and not just on paper. This is the brainchild of Michel Platini, and he has put a lot of effort into bringing fair play to life.

“I am convinced that in 2018 Akinfeev will show his best game at the World Cup.”

We in Germany have long lived in such a way as to fulfill all its conditions. The licensing system prevents clubs from spending more than they earn. Of course it had by-effect, for a long time we could not withstand the race between salaries and transfers. But now Germany's commitment to financial order is starting to pay off.

We would like your problems. The 2018 World Cup is approaching, and Russia is short of players. Even Igor Akinfeev - a man who has been compared to Manuel Neuer - is not playing his best right now.
- The World Championship is a difficult tournament, it can end very quickly. Akinfeev made two serious mistakes, and at the World Cup this usually leads to elimination from the tournament. He needs to experience failure. However, I am sure that Akinfeev has not yet said his last word. He is still young, in 2018 he will be what - 32? The World Cup in your country is a special feeling, so I am convinced that in 2018 Akinfeev will show his best game at the World Cup.
