Rubin Oleg Yarovinsky, former sports director of CSKA and Kazan, spoke about the former goalkeeper of Moscow Lokomotiv and the Russian national team Sergey Ovchinnikov.
“I adore Sergei Ovchinnikov’s stories about Lokomotiv of those years. Wow, what stories! How he fired a gas pistol at Semin and Filatov. They hid from Ovchinnikov and were not happy with something. He shot them through the door. Nothing – then they communicated normally, even remained the captain of Loko, ”says Yarovinsky “Sport Express”.
Ovchinnikov, together with the “railway workers”, became the two-time champion of Russia and the owner of the national cup.
Yuri Semin coached Lokomotiv from 1986 to 1990, 1992 to 2005, 2009 to 2010 and 2016 to 2020. Under his leadership, the club became three times Russian champion, six times the Cup and three times the Country Super Cup.
