FC "Pary NN" coach Vadim Garanin: "The First League is the toughest championship."

      In his first interview of the off-season, head coach of FC "Pari NN" Vadim Garanin stated that one of the most important tasks is to mentally reset the players after being relegated from the Russian Premier League. Recall that our team began preparations for the season in the first league on June 10 in Saransk. According to the coach, all players are in good shape. "Right now, our main task is to mentally reset. Because, of course, it is hard to deal with relegation from the RPL. Even I find it difficult, although I was appointed 'head coach' only three weeks before the end of the championship. It is a heavy blow. Especially for the experienced guys who have played a lot in Nizhny Novgorod – such as Kolya Kalinsky, Nikita Kakkoev, Vitya Alexandrov, and others. Even those who just joined the team last season find it hard to cope with the drop in class. This is a heavy burden that we need to shed. Forget the past and fix the situation." When asked about the concept the team will adopt under Vadim Garanin, the coach responded: "Just a strong team with the ability to play both with and without the ball. And, of course, 'physicality.' I often hear that the first league is the toughest division, where only teams that are physically ready win. But physically strong teams win in any championship. Undoubtedly, we must also offer footballing aspects to our opponents." Regarding the goals for the season, the head of the "Parisians" did not elaborate: "The goal is always the same – the highest one. To make the team stronger. For this, it is necessary to determine the player roster. Who among the players will continue with us and who will not. There will be little time for 'warming up,'" Garanin concluded. Dmitry Vityugov
