TANGLE TOLD SILER EVERYTHING WHAT HE THINK ABOUT HIM

June '95. Dynamo Moscow have just won the Russian Cup. Dynamo's jubilant capital Sergei Podpaly holds over his head the coveted trophy received from the hands of State Duma Speaker Ivan Rybkin.

September '96. I'm talking with Podpaly at the Dynamo base. Only this is happening not in Moscow, but in Stavropol. For more than a month now, the ex-captain of the capital’s Dynamo team has been playing with their Stavropol teammates. It’s natural to start a conversation with the 33-year-old defender with the question of the end of his metropolitan career in the team of Adamas Golodets.

How did it happen that the leading player, the team captain, was put up for transfer by Dynamo Moscow?

In the off-season I was already vice-captain. Andrey Smetanin put on the captain's armband. Preparing for the Russian Championship, Dynamo kept in mind the quarterfinal match of the Cup Winners' Cup with Rapid in Moscow. I couldn’t play in that match due to too many yellow cards. So the lineup with the new captain at the head was playing out. And I appeared on the field in the third round of the championship in Kaliningrad. Then he played in the return match with Rapid in Vienna, where he tore his calf muscle. Out of action for a month. When he returned, he was no longer included in the squad, although he was listed as a substitute in the protocol of each match. Adamas Solomonovich said that I would still be useful to the team. But the entire Dynamo “kitchen” is run not by him, but by Tolstykh. And soon there were rumors that Tolstykh was putting Samatov, Shulgin and me up for transfer. That is, those over 30. Then the rumors were confirmed.

How did you feel?

It became offensive. I played the entire last season, it seems, without any complaints. In the offseason, several major league clubs invited him, but Dynamo didn’t want to hear about it and weren’t going to let him go anywhere. Then they suddenly decided to rejuvenate the squad, and the “old guys”, who had done a lot for the team, immediately found themselves out of work.

In May, Tekstilshchik appeared on your horizon.

- “Dynamo” played in Kamyshin. Before the match, Pavlov came to my hotel and said that he had already had a conversation with Tolstykh about me and Samatov. Oleg was not in Kamyshin at that time. I discussed the terms of a personal contract with Pavlov and, as soon as there was a break in the championship, I left with Samatov for Sochi, where Tekstilshchik was holding a training camp. Then we were at a training camp in Germany. And so for almost a month and a half. But Pavlov was in no hurry to pay compensation for us. And a week before the deadline for submitting additional applications, he said that he would not be able to do this at all. They say the price is too high. Although he knew from the very beginning how much Dynamo wanted to get for us. The threat of being out of work until the end of the season loomed over me. Thank you, Stavropol came to the rescue.

It seems that Dynamo Stavropol was interested in you in parallel with Tekstilshchik?

They called me at home, in Moscow, from here, but they were talking to my wife. At that time I was in the Kamyshin team and firmly believed that I would play in it. And only when Pavlov’s insolvency became clear, I had a conversation with the management of Dynamo Stavropol. The clubs agreed on everything. The terms of the personal contract offered by the Stavropol team also suited me.

Are you involved in the fact that Samatov appeared in Stavropol?

Izhevsk tried to buy it, but something didn’t work out for Gazovik. The Dynamo leaders of Moscow and Stavropol, according to Samatov, also quickly found a common language. I, of course, advised Oleg to go to Stavropol - after all, we are friends. Even before Dynamo Moscow, they played together at Lokomotiv.

Your pre-Dynamo past includes Tyumen Geologist, Leningrad Zenit, Donetsk Shakhtar, Moscow Lokomotiv. Couldn’t it have happened that it all started with Dynamo, but from Kyiv?

I was born and raised in Kyiv. Mom still lives there. He played in children's teams. There was an opportunity to get into the double team of Dynamo Kyiv, but in the early 80s there was the same competition there as in the main team. I wanted to play all the time. Plus the army was pressing. So he went to “serve” at Dynamo - only not from Kiev, but from the city of Kirov, which was then headed by Valery Ovchinnikov. In 1983, Valery Viktorovich went to train Geologist and took me with him. I played in Tyumen until 1987 - both under Ovchinnikov and other coaches. "Geologist" won three times in its zone of the second league. On the third attempt I made it to the first league. And then I was invited by Zenit, which coached Zavidonov.

With “Geologist” you went from the second to the first league. With “Zenith” we made the opposite movement - from the highest to the first.

Alas. Although at first everything went fine. We even played in the UEFA Cup. But then a mess with the coaches began in the team, and the fans composed sarcastic poems: “Our Leningrad Zenit was once famous. And now things at Zenit are not business, but excuse me...”

Fans were probably already waiting for the second coming of Pavel Sadyrin?

Perhaps (laughs). But Pavel Fedorovich had a good time at CSKA then. However, despite the troubles of Zenit, I was still going to throw in my lot with Leningrad, which I really liked. In 1989, he left for Shakhtar Donetsk for half a season, but couldn’t stand it and returned.

What prevented you from staying at Zenit?

Not what, but who. Sadyrin was in Moscow. Other coaches came to Zenit. In 1991 - Morozov. They were just supposed to give me housing. The housing issue was more acute for me than the money issue: after all, family man, but I never had my own corner. They showed me my future home. My wife and I liked it. And then Morozov, who had not made any claims against me before, suddenly announced that I would not get any apartment, and in general he did not want to see me on his team. Just like that, without any intelligible explanation. And I didn’t turn out to be a Leningrader, or, as they say now, a St. Petersburger.

But after a while you became a Muscovite.

- Lokomotiv, where I came in the middle of the last USSR championship, kept my promise about the apartment. I joined the team under Filatov, and in 1992 it was headed by Semin, who returned from abroad. Everything went well for me at Lokomotiv.

Why did you leave there?

I wanted to try myself in a foreign club. First I went to audition for one of the Korean teams. But the Koreans and the railway workers did not agree on the price. Then the opportunity arose to go to Israel. Signed a contract with Hapoel from Haifa. We started the championship well. Then the local stars began to find out something with the management. The team “crumbled”, and, as often happens in Israel, foreigners were blamed for all mortal sins. Me included. The contract was terminated. Moreover, they paid me everything that was due. Although usually, they say, in such conflicts the Israelis leave foreigners “out of their depth.” In December 1994 he returned to Moscow and quite unexpectedly received an invitation from Beskov and Tolstoy.

And immediately became the captain of Dynamo?

This is Beskov's idea. None of the guys objected. But I myself didn’t fully understand why there was such an honor. Perhaps they took into account that I was the captain of Lokomotiv for a long time.

In different teams you played in different positions: wing midfielder, defensive midfielder, front defender. Where did you first find yourself in your current position - libero?

At Lokomotiv. Semin tried it by chance and didn’t seem to regret it. It was Dynamo Stavropol that invited me to the position of free defender.

Your birthday is September 13th. And autumn is the time for European cups, in which you also had the chance to play.

And at Zenit, and at Lokomotiv, and at Dynamo, I started European tournaments either the day before or immediately after my birthday. The mood was different. With Zenit, I remember, we went through a weak Danish club, but then we got to Stuttgart, which showed us where the crayfish spend the winter. Several people from the German national team played in that Stuttgart team. And exactly on September 13, 1993, Lokomotiv met with Juventus in Turin. We looked decent in the first half, and then Roberto Baggio started doing this! It was not for nothing that he was named the best football player in the world that season.

Did you play your most memorable match outside of European competition?

No. In the Russian Cup. I think the 1995 final between Dynamo Moscow and Rotor remains in the memory of many. Even if it was a penalty, but then we snatched the victory with our teeth. After all, for various reasons, half of the main team did not play.

In that meeting, I remember, not only the post-match penalties were scored. At the end of extra time, referee Siner considered that Samatov had knocked down Krivov and pointed to the spot. You said something to Siner, and he took a red card out of his pocket...

Samatov didn’t touch Krivov! This can be seen on video from any point. If Rotor scored, I don’t know how the judge would feel. He could ruin the whole holiday with this invented 11-meter. I couldn’t stand it then and told Siner everything I thought about him. He deleted me. But justice triumphed: Veretennikov hit the post. But I couldn’t find a place for myself, watching the match from the bench. Only when Shulgin scored the eighth, decisive penalty, did I realize that the football god was on our side.

Do you often have conflicts with judges?

When I was a captain, I had to communicate with them as part of my duty. Sometimes, of course, unfair decisions drove me crazy. But I am an easy-going person. I can apologize to the judge later. However, it is difficult to get used to what sometimes happens in the first league. This is complete arbitrariness!

Do you mean this season?

I still haven’t played in the first Russian league. And the times of the Union have long been forgotten. For the first time he played for Stavropol Dynamo in Nizhnekamsk. The referee there whistled only in favor of the hosts. Is it possible to win with such refereeing? The situation repeated itself in Arzamas. True, the guys said that, fortunately, this does not always happen. But just from these examples I can say that the refereeing here is much worse than in the major leagues.

Are you also not delighted with the level of play of the teams in the first league?

I won’t say that the level of most teams in the first league is much lower than that of those who play in the top league, but the difference is noticeable.

What is your opinion about Dynamo Stavropol?

I have known many Stavropol football players for a long time. I played against them in both Lokomotiv and Dynamo Moscow. In my opinion, such a team - in terms of play and composition - should be in the major league.

But judging by the points reserve, your new team will not be able to get there this season.

Even if only theoretical chances remain, we must try to use them. Both Oleg Samatov and I came to Stavropol to help Dynamo decide
main task. If this task is completed, then I will stay in Stavropol.

And if not?

On this score, there was an immediate agreement with the Dynamo management: they would let me go. Still, I don’t have much left to play. I don’t complain about my football fate, but I want to end my career in the major leagues. The best thing, of course, is to step there together with the Stavropol team. I'm not thinking about anything else right now.

Sergey KAPUSTIN, Stavropol. Newspaper "Sport-Express", 09/18/1996

ALWAYS FOUGHT FOR VICTORY

He has the passport of a Russian citizen, the appearance of a native of the southern regions of the once vast country and the ambitions of the coach of a Belarusian club that is seriously vying for gold in the national championship this season. Two years ago, Gomel midfielder Sergei Podpaly received an offer to lead this team, which, by and large, no longer counted on anything in the Belarusian championship. Today the Gomel team confidently leads the table, showing a stable, interesting game.

A student of the Dynamo Kiev school, Sergei Podpaly is probably still well remembered by fans of the clubs of the same name in Moscow and Stavropol, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St. Petersburg, and Lokomotiv Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod. And now the forty-year-old graduate of the Volgograd Institute of Physical Education and the Moscow Higher School of Coaches successfully applies the acquired knowledge in the city above Sozh, as warm and hospitable as his native Kiev, often visiting Minsk...

Sergey, where do your relatives live?

Almost everything is in Ukraine. Father, however, died, and mother is still in Kyiv.

It so happened that during your playing career you changed, if I’m not mistaken, a good dozen, if not more, teams. Do you like to travel?

The fact is that I left some of them and then returned to them, as, for example, happened with the Tyumen “Gazovik” or “Zenith”. In St. Petersburg, for example, everything suited me, but my housing issue was not resolved there, unlike Shakhtar Donetsk, where Anatoly Konkov invited me. He had no intention of leaving Lokomotiv Moscow, where he played for about three years. But at that time it was fashionable to rely on foreign bread, so in 1994 I ended up in Haifa. Now in Russia the conditions are much better, and there is no particular need to leave anywhere. And then it seemed that in Israel they were waiting for you with open arms. It turns out there are plenty of problems there too. Hapoel did not become champions, and, naturally, the legionnaires were to blame. I had to return to Russia. And then Konstantin Beskov’s proposal came in very opportunely. Naturally, I went to Dynamo Moscow with great pleasure.

How did you end up in Gomel?

When my two-year contract with Torpedo-ZIL, headed by Boris Ignatiev, ended, Alexander Kuznetsov, also, by the way, a Russian specialist, called me to Gomel. I agreed to help him. True, I didn’t have a chance to work under his leadership for a long time. He left as the second coach at CSKA.

And you were soon offered to lead the team?

Absolutely right, me and Valery Broshin. We were also graduates of the Higher School of Technology, quite experienced players who had seen a lot, and the team was somewhere in the middle of the table. In a word, they decided that it couldn’t get any worse, so they told the club’s management, giving their consent.

Two years have passed. What have you managed to change radically during this time?

The first year, of course, was very difficult, because I had to command the players with whom I had recently entered the field. We finished the season, I think, in a quite respectable sixth place, and the double team won their tournament. Now, as you can see, we are also laying claim to the championship. The team, I think, has strengthened a little, the team has become more united, several young and promising guys have been invited. For my part, I also hope that I was able to learn something, learn something new and use it in my work during this time. Almost everything had to be restructured, from discipline to the training process and everyday life. Of course, we had to slowly get rid of someone. From the composition that I took part in, only a few people remain now.

- “Gomel” is a financially prosperous team?

By Belarusian standards - quite, although I would not call the earnings of football players and coaches very high. The main thing is that payments are timely and stable; our general sponsor, Belorusneft, fulfills everything promised.

Detractors say, and you probably know this, that the first place of your club is the result, among other things, of the notorious “work with the judges”...

You can’t throw a scarf over every mouth, and let these conversations remain on the conscience of those who conduct them. After the first round of interviews with coaches of 16 Major League clubs, 14, in my opinion, noted that they liked Gomel’s game. The topic of “help” from referees in football is truly eternal. But referees don't score goals. Conversations in favor of the poor are for the weak.

What do Sergei Podpaly, the player, and Podpaly, the coach, have in common and how do they differ?

The common thing, probably, is that no matter where I played, I always aimed for a high result, strived for victory, was and remains a maximalist. It’s probably not for nothing that I was often chosen as captain in the teams whose colors I defended. I think the qualities of a leader still help today. The guys are not offended when I raise my voice, realizing that it is for their own benefit. If we manage to get into the European Cups, it will be easier for them to shine in high level, make a name for yourself and possibly get into famous clubs in Russia or abroad.

Vladimir PANOV. Newspaper "Union. Belarus-Russia", 10/16/2003

Sergei Podpaly, midfielder of Dynamo Moscow
(Introducing the team's debutant)
Former Lokomotiv Moscow player Sergei Podpaly, who left last summer for the Israeli club Hapoel from Haifa, returned to Russia and began playing for Dynamo Moscow.
– What are your impressions of Israel?
– It’s good to relax there, but not to work. Going there to play football is, in my opinion, futile. Therefore, I don’t regret coming back. From the very beginning, I had no great desire to go to Israel.
-Then why were you there?
– At one time, my relationship with Yuri Semi-ny ceased to develop. At the same time, an agent from Hapoel appeared in Moscow and offered to play a season in this team. It’s not that the conditions completely suited me, but in that situation this option seemed the best.
– What did you see in Israel?
– Three or four clubs that could compete with the teams of the Russian major league, and first of all – Maccabi (Haifa) and Maccabi (Tel Aviv). The Bersheva team, which employs the former head of Lokomotiv Moscow Vitaly Shevchenko, is not bad. All leaders have “Russians” on their roster – players from former Union, and the main bet is on them. In my opinion, it is thanks to the efforts of the “Russians” that Israeli football has progressed recently.
– As can be seen from the performance of his team.
– Yes, the Israelis played a draw with the Romanians in the 1996 European Championship, which means that they have a good team.
– “Hapoel” is not a strong club?
– Last years he was fighting for survival. But at the end of last season, Hapoel found itself with a new owner - one of the wealthiest people in the country, the owner of fish factories in Africa. We bought two Israelis and three of ours. Besides me, Vyacheslav Melnikov from the CSKA reserve team and Oleg Koshelyuk from Odessa Chernomorets played at the club. We started the championship well. Then the local stars began to find out something with the management. The team “crumbled”, and, as often happens in Israel, foreigners were accused of all mortal sins. Me included. The contract was terminated. Moreover, they paid me everything that was due. Although usually, they say, in such conflicts, the Israelis leave foreigners “out of their depth.” In December 1994, he returned to Moscow and quite unexpectedly received an invitation from Beskov and Tolstoy.
– Were there other options besides Dynamo Moscow?
– Pavel Sadyrin called to St. Petersburg, we could go to Nizhny Novgorod. But I didn’t want to leave Moscow.
– In what position are Dynamo coaches going to use you?
– Now I play as a defensive midfielder.
– Did you immediately become the captain of Dynamo?
– This is Beskov’s idea. None of the guys objected. But I myself didn’t fully understand why there was such an honor. Perhaps they took into account that I was the captain of Lokomotiv for a long time.
– Is Dynamo’s style of training and play different in any way?
– Beskov has more work with the ball, more playing exercises, squares. And Semin mainly trains for running.
– So at Lokomotiv they focus on “physics”?
- Yes. There, it is physical condition that is considered the basis of a good game. And to some extent this justifies itself.
– Did Dynamo’s first match in Sochi instill optimism in you or disappoint you?
– The first game, especially on the road, is always difficult. And then there was the disgusting field, we had to knead the mud. The sweeter the victory.
– What worries you about Dynamo?
– Big loss – Kobelev. But the main thing is that we haven’t played together yet. There are a lot of newcomers in the team, it takes time to get used to them.
