"I'll let you down." What do Znark's gestures mean? (photo, survey)

The correspondent of "Soviet Sport" talked with journalist and researcher of the criminal language Alexander Sidorov (Fima Zhiganets) about the gestures of the head coach of the Russian national team Oleg Znarok. Recall that they cost him a disqualification for the final match of the World Cup against Finland.

First gesture

Everything is clear here, this is an international gesture. It means a threat to cut the throat, or "I will finish you." By any means. The gesture has a criminal connotation.

Second gesture

Here is an indication of shoulder straps, and then he tapped his palm. This can be interpreted as follows: for such cases, you can snitch on the "cops". This is a gesture from the criminal world. Translated into ordinary language, he meant that such things should not be allowed. It was not a gesture of an invective (offensive) nature. There were no insults to anyone here. In the criminal world, banging your fist on your palm is a snitch, and pointing to shoulder straps means the police.

Third gesture

This is not so much a gesture from the criminal world as a gesture of hooligans. It means "I will shut you up". And before that, Znarok showed in the direction of the locker room, meaning that, they say, we will go out, and I will shut you up there. In other words, he showed that he would beat the Swede well. "I'll knead you, let you knead" - that's what it meant. The first and third gestures, unlike the second, contain an open threat to a person.

Summary

I think disqualification is nonsense. You cannot disqualify or remove a person for this. It was possible, for example, to demand an apology after the match, but depriving him of the right to be on the bench in the final is too much. This is not just an unreasonable decision. It was clearly adopted solely because it was about the Russian team. In any other case, no one would have allowed this. This is a direct demonstration of disrespect for Russia and the Russian team.

Znarok was disqualified and stripped of his accreditation for the 2014 World Cup. And all this before the decisive final match...

Today, May 25, before the final match of the World Ice Hockey Championship, the Disciplinary Committee of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) made a decision on the incident involving the head coach of the Russian team Oleg Znarok.

The head coach of the Russian national team Oleg Znarok will not be able to be on the bench of his team during the final match of the 2014 World Cup against the Finnish team. The directorate of the world championship decided to disqualify the 51-year-old specialist for one match. In addition, the coach is deprived of accreditation.

Znarok is deprived of accreditation. Can sit in the hall with tickets. Why didn't you come to the meeting? What's the point. Shipachev arrived - received a disqualification for three games. We have not yet decided how we will keep in touch, we will discuss after training. For me, this is an incomprehensible solution, searching for a brain in a (word with the letter g) sparrow. But the team will only unite,” Andrey Safronov, general manager of the Russian national team, commented on the IIHF decisions.

Recall that at the end of the semifinal match against the Swedish team (3:1), Znarok first took part in a verbal skirmish with the Swedish coach Rikard Gronberg, and then showed him a threatening gesture, running his hand across his throat. The incident arose after Swedish striker Mikael Backlund punched Russian striker Sergei Plotnikov, after which he was sent off before the end of the match.

After that, the head coach of the Russian national team Oleg Znarok said that the gesture he showed to the opponent's bench in the match against Sweden (3:1) meant that he had a sore throat.

My throat hurt. It is very cold here in the coaching room, we are constantly on the ice, we were given thin suits. You see, even my voice has sat down. The attacker of the Swedes acted incorrectly. You have to be able to play beautifully. We have a very distinctive team. Did the Swedes really think that we would not fight back? I had to detain the guys, otherwise they could arrange an ice battle. You know the result. Anything happens. But yes, it was ugly. My character is probably like this. Although it was clearly a provocation. The coach began to say something. I would like to see what he says on the street, - said the coach.

Although, it was "the coach of the Swedish national team Rikard Grenberg who threatened the head coach of the Russian national team Oleg Znark with physical violence." - This was reported by the Swedish journalist Lena Sundqvist.

Yes, Grenberg said several times: "I will kill you." I listened very carefully. I would never have said this on air if I had not been absolutely sure of it,” Sundqvist said.

The leadership of the national team and the press service are preparing a "very tough statement", which will reflect the position of the Russian side.
In the meantime, the team will be led to the finals by Oleg Znark's assistant Harijs Vitoliņš...

Oleg Znarok - about his disqualification for the World Cup final in Minsk

Oleg Znarok will not be able to attend the main battle on the ice - the World Cup final today. Ours will take to the ice against the Finns and, since it was the Finns who threw our team out of the standings at the Sochi Olympics, this will clearly be a mortal battle.

A few minutes ago, loud music sounded, hockey players flew onto the ice and began to rush in a circle - each team in its own half. The so-called pre-match rolling. One can feel the colossal tension, a big game awaits us, a real hockey celebration. Only one thing overshadows him: the head coach of the Russians, Oleg Znarok, will not lead his wards in this match from the coaching bench. This decision was made by the disciplinary committee. In the morning she analyzed the incident that happened the day before in the semi-finals with the Swedes.

Shortly before the end of the match, when the chances of the Swedes were fading before our eyes, during one of the game breaks, the Swedish hockey player surreptitiously hit our already injured player Sergei Plotnikov. He fell. The opposing coach started yelling at him. Oleg Znarok stood up for his player - he showed a gesture - he ran his finger along his chin. According to officials of the International Ice Hockey Federation, this is enough for disqualification.

The coach in hockey, one might say, is a key figure. He influences the game to a greater extent than, for example, a coach in football. Constantly changing links. And often the one who reacts more quickly and correctly to the opponent's moves wins. At this tournament, under the leadership of Znark, our team did not lose a single match. Therefore, it is doubly disappointing that he will not be on the coaching bench in the final. The team will be managed by Znark's assistant Harijs Vitolinsh. They are old associates. Together they played for the national team of Latvia, together they coached the Moscow Dynamo. Well, where will Znarok be during the match - he answered this question himself after the morning workout.

“In principle, there are no problems, the guys know how to play, we were prepared for this game. The problem is that it’s like you can’t be in the dressing room here, so I’ll sit in the box, probably with a microphone and remote control. I think , it was wrong that they were disqualified for the final match," Oleg Znarok said.

In Minsk, they expect that Russian President Vladimir Putin will come to support our guys for this game. The match will also be attended by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. The stands are already filled to capacity. Definitely the vast majority of fans for ours. They joke here that this World Cup is almost home for us. Thousands of people came from all over Russia, in addition, Belarusians also support our team.

We have already met the Finns in this championship at the group stage, we won 4:2. Many fans well remember another game of today's finalists: the quarter-finals of the Olympic tournament in Sochi, when Russia lost 1:3. It can be said that Russia and Finland are principal rivals. We beat the Finns 6-2 in the World Cup semi-final two years ago in Helsinki and lost to them in the World Cup semi-final in Moscow.

The history of the confrontation is rich and ambiguous. Therefore, we will not discuss who is the favorite today. The fight will be hot.

Today Sochi will host the second match of our team at the 2014 Channel One Cup. The opponents of Oleg Znarka's wards will be the Swedes, which means that the semi-final of the 2014 World Cup and Oleg Valeryevich's finger will pop up in our heads again ...

Well, did they surface? If suddenly not, although this is unlikely, let's remind you.

At the end of the semi-final match of the World Championship Russia - Sweden (3:1), our team's forward Sergey Plotnikov fell on the ice after contact with an opponent. A skirmish began on the ice. According to its results, the Swede Mikael Backlund, who pushed Plotnikov, received a disciplinary fine until the end of the game.

But the most interesting thing at that moment happened overboard. The head coach of the Russian national team, Oleg Znarok, yelled at the Swedish coach Rikard Gronborg and ran his thumb down his throat. But the Scandinavian did not poison jokes in response. “Gronborg shouted “I will kill you!” several times,” Lena Sundqvist, a journalist for the Swedish radio station, later said. “I listened very carefully and would never have stated this if I had not been so sure.”

I would have watched what he told me on the street, - Znarok said at a press conference. - What did I show in response? My throat hurt, it’s cold in the coaching room, and our suits are thin ...

But the IIHF did not believe Znarka, and slapped both coaches with a one-match disqualification. However, the Russian team won the World Cup with Harijs Vitolinsh at the head of the team. But that's a completely different story.

"Znarka's gesture" went to the people. And the best proof of that was KVN. In the summer in the Latvian Jurmala, another music festival took place, in which Oleg Valerievich also sat on the jury. And the “sign of Znarka” turned out to be perhaps the most “quoted” in this game.

First, it was shown by a member of the "County Town" team from Oleg Valerievich's native Chelyabinsk. Then the Moscow Parapaparam team, when they portrayed American television. His "host" to explain the word "hockey" and resorted to the "Znark gesture". And then he beat the name of the mentor in a musical way - Znarep-Znarok. The team from Pyatigorsk also pampered the audience with Znarka's gesture.

Yes, of course, the general manager of the national team Andrei Safronov has already said that that semi-final with the Swedes is forgotten. Yes, coach Rikard Gronborg no longer works at the headquarters of his national team. Moreover, apparently, he is now - generally unemployed. Although Per Mots, in whose headquarters Ricard worked, still leads the national team (isn't that the case, by the way) influenced the decision of the venerable head coach to abandon the young expressive specialist?) Yes, at the first Finnish stage of the Eurotour, the national teams of Russia and Sweden already intersected, and ours lost in shootouts (4:5). But the “sign of Znarka” still cannot be forgotten. Now he is a chip or, if you like, a symbol of matches with the Swedes. At least until the next World Cup in the Czech Republic. Fortunately, both teams approached today's match with 3 points in the tournament.

Who should we be afraid of today's Swedes most of all? First, two defenders. Patrick Hersley from Sibir and Johan Fransson from Rapperswil, who burned with napalm in the first match of the First Channel Cup with the Czech Republic and scored twice each. And also an old friend Linus Omark, who did a hat-trick, however, an assistant one.

Let me remind you that the Swedes have 13 representatives of the KHL in their current roster. And almost all of them are heard in our league. So it will definitely not be easy for the guys of Oleg Znark.
