Paul Bure. Last match for a national team?
Paul Bure. Last match for a national team?
I managed to PAUL to talk some days prior to it
Flying away in Salt Lake City. Therefore and conversation has begun with questions about
To the Olympic Games.
- NEWS from Russia watch, Paul? Heard, that recently
Vladimir Putin has told? A pier, above a banner of the Russian sports!
- Heard... I literally spoke yesterday with the president...
- The truth?! With?
- I about other. About Leonid Tjagacheve, the head our Olympic
Committee. He has in detail told to me as there has passed session
The State Council where questions of development of physical culture and sports were discussed
In the country.
The native land has told: "It is necessary!".
- MEANS, you in a course: heroes are necessary to the country. To become ready it,
If the Native land tells?
- And for what feats from me wait? Like and so I do, that in
Forces.
- The Olympic Games on a nose. Good chance to prove to be.
- Know, I should not prove for a long time already anything. On Games meal
With unique desire: to act adequately, not having dropped honour
The countries and the. In the Russian press now write much, that supposedly
Transatlantic millionaires have lost feeling of patriotism and do not become
To fight for power. Silly to overpersuade, but judge: time we
Have decided to rise under national team banners, means, we understand a measure
Responsibility. After all not for the sake of money and glory we fly in
Salt Lake City, the truth?
- You fly behind Olympic gold which at you is not present. If
To understand, in your career in general there are not enough victories. Like it is so much
Years on a kind, and what you have won in a large way?
- How that? By 19 years I have had time to become the champion Soviet
The union, Europe, the world... Won everything, except the Olympic Games and the ending
Stanley's cup.
- But after all this main thing for the hockey player.
- But at me many personal achievements. I two years on end
Became the best sniper of NHL, on pair with the brother has thrown more
90 washers for a season... But what to list own merits?
Bragging! It is better to look back not back, and forward to look.
- Let's look. When fly to Utah?
- It seems, on February, 12th. Or 13th. And can, 14th...
To admit, yet did not specify.
- Olympic equipment have already received?
- And what is it?
- The form of a member of official delegation. A suit, a coat, bobrovaja
Cap and - the main thing - valenoks with galoshes.
- Yes-yes, valenoks in Florida are especially actual. In Miami
Now about 30 degrees of heat... No while received nothing.
- Where will live on Games?
- In Olympic village. And there are other variants?
- In Sydney other tennis players, as most well-founded of
Sportsmen, apartments in five-stars hotels have preferred.
- The truth? On the Olympic Games in Nagano we lived together with all.
I think, so will be and now. The household party has put me a little
Worries. I am not going to to demand for myself exclusive conditions.
- And on a platform too?
- Entirely I trust the senior trainer. In the command twenty
Magnificent masters, I am ready to play with any. And how differently?
Present, that everyone will start to tell, with whom wants
To act, and with whom - is not present. A brothel!
- But you convinced me, that to the Drill - not everyone.
- All the same it is necessary to submit to command rules. A word of the trainer
- The law. And the captain should be one.
- About the captain. That have chosen Larionov, instead of you...
- Normally. Igor is more senior and is more skilled me.
- Does not confuse, that at Larionov the Canadian passport and it now
As though not the Russian?
- Unless in a piece of paper business? For me Igor was and remains
Soviet, Russian person, the present patriot.
- How have concerned returning of the Soviet hymn?
- Positively. I have grown in the USSR. My house in Moscow, there I
I will by all means return. For me only the Russian can be native.
When we acted under Glinka's dumb music, was not
Sensations that the Native land hymn sounds. Now this feeling has returned.
By the way, in Canada and America know and remember an old melody
Aleksandrova.
- New words have learnt?
- While is not present.
Blondinkaza a corner.
- There WILL be fans on Games?
- Here so that specially someone called, it is not present. You
Heard, what security measures are undertaken by Americans. In
Olympic village of visitors you will not spend, most to leave for it
Limits - it is problematic. In Nagano there went mum, but now it
Remains in Florida, will look after children Valery,
The brother.
- Marata Safin on Australian Open was supported at once by three
Nice blondes. You could also though one to invite.
- I believe, on the Olympic Games and so will be many beauties, but meal
To play, instead of of female delights to be lost in contemplation.
- Has understood, lyrical digression was not possible. We come back to
To serious subjects. What chances of our national team?
- If will tell, who will win superiority of the world on football,
I will name the champion of the Olympic Games on hockey. Unless it is possible to foresee?
Another I will tell: it, possibly, will be my last performance for
National team. To wait for the following Olympic Games four years. Long. It is time to give
Road the young.
- Correctly speak: the egoist you, about fans do not think.
- I do not accept reproach even in the form of a joke. And to like itself not
It is forbidden. All of us, in effect, egoists, but hide one it, and
Others are not present.
- You from the second?
- Degree of my love to does not pass reasonable limits.
Probably, from the party can seem, as if at me all is easy and
Beautifully in a life. No, problems suffice, but what for aloud
To tell about them? All the same answers to difficult questions it is necessary
To search most. Once the clever person has told to me: "Not so it is important,
What exactly with you happens, as the subsequent reaction. Back
To return nothing, and here conclusions to make it is necessary ". To me
Impose able to overcome difficulties. The whiner cannot
To become successful in a life, to feel satisfactions from it.
- By the way, about satisfaction, is more exact - satisfactions.
Represent, how much will be 3 million roubles in dollars?
- Dollars 500, probably.
- Almost 100 thousand.
Obizhajutsjagluptsy.
- MISS left... And why you have asked?
- Perhaps you for a life does not suffice, time has solved through court
To receive this sum from the newspaper which name I will lower that not
To do to it advertising?
- Had never legal proceedings with the press, but have this time printed
Rare muck, pohabshchinu, having given out it for my words. To keep silent was
It is impossible.
- For itself have taken offence or for Kurnikovu, in whose address ostensibly
Were impartially expressed?
- Silly people take offence. I have decided to punish for slander.
- Anna in a history course?
- I suspect, that is not present. But business not in it. About me it is a lot of
Everyone wrote, I have learnt not to react. I understand: a yellow press
Cannot without sensations, for it it and read, but in this case
People have passed a side. I write out the Moscow newspapers and itself at times I search
In them something ostrenkoe. Recently has received number, almost
Completely devoted to Alla Pugachevoj. That only about it not
Have written! Knew: 90 percent - an invention, and all the same it was not kept,
Has read.
- It is curious to read about others, but not about itself.
- It is exact. But, where to disappear, it is necessary to pay for popularity. And
In America the press watches each step of stars.
- After September, 11th States have strongly changed?
- First there was a shock. Nobody waited for similar blow. Gradually
All comes back in norm, but the country former will not be it is exact.
- Want I will guess, that gets you most strongly in the last
Months? Dosmotry at the airports. Probably, have got tired razuvatsja and
To show soles of boots?
- Before does not reach. We by the bus approach on a gangway
The club plane, passing an airport building.
- But sometimes use regular flights?
- There is no place and is no time.
- And how a casino of Las Vegas?
- During NHL championship?! About what you? When veins in Vancouver,
It could be pulled out on put-other to Nevada, and from Florida to fly
Far. Certainly, here again it is possible to find a casino. However, not on
To coast. It is necessary to sit down on kruiznyj the ship which sails from
Miami on some miles also stops in neutral waters.
There you play, and in some hours you come back.
- And it is frequent so float?
- For four years that I live here, only time. There are sick people,
With which game replaces a life, but I in this sense am absolutely healthy.
Measure I know. In a casino I happen in Moscow is more often. Sometimes I come
To have a good time, sometimes - destiny to test, check up, what strip in
Lives - black or white.
- What colour a life now?
- Normal, equal.
- Means, greyish?
- I in all try to find a positive side. It is possible
To throw three washers and to regret, that has not hammered in five more. It is possible
To win the Olympic Games, but to find an occasion to grief. I another
The person.
- What?
- The happy. Unless you yet have not understood it?
