Kayumov locomotive biography

One of the main authors of success is the summer Arthur Kayumov. He was born and raised in the southeast of Tatarstan, could get to Ak Bars, but Yaroslavl preferred. The game of the Yaroslavls is the most systemic of all the remaining teams, ”Vladimir Krikunov shared his opinion at Ak Bars and Neftekhimikov. In the first round of the Gagarin Cup, Lokomotiv figured out the current champion - CSKA 4-1, in the second not without problems, but the Vanguard passed 4-3, and in the third almost did not notice the Tractor 4-0.

Now the Yaroslavl team in anticipation of the second finalist of the Cup - it can become Metallurg or Avtomobilist account in the series - 2-2. For Loko, this moment is historical: for the last time the club played in the final 15 years ago, then losing in the 7th match Ak Bars. This is also the first chance to compete for the trophy after the tragedy of the year. One of the features of Lokomotiv is the team does not depend on individual players, but of course there are leaders.

Among them is striker Arthur Kayumov. Among all the participants in the playoffs, he is the fifth scorer and the eighth assistant. Another important point - the hockey player plays in the key three Lokomotiv Kayumov - Maxim Shalunov - Berezkin. In the playoffs, they brought 13 goals from the generator of thought to the team. I do not want to say anything about other guys in the three - they are also a high level.

Everything is well balanced with them. ” Adis was not connected with hockey, but acquaintances, knowing that Arthur, active and sports was growing up in the family, advised him to send him to the hockey section. Then the coach Rif Nurmeyev just arrived in Bugulma from Bashkortostan. By the time Arthur came to watch, Nurmeev already had about 80 students, and they all studied for two months.

The first task for the beginner was to put on skates and walk along the side. Arthur did not obey the coach, found a balance on the skates and went to the center of the site. So he forced Nurmeev to notice himself. But the boy was very lagging behind others and understood that he received less attention from the coach.

So he began to train hard, learn one trick after another. Then the reef actively took up a young man. His son Marat began to deal with Arthur individually. In the end, Kayumov became the leader of the team and led her to the first victory in history in the Tatarstan championship, and then again made Bugulmintsev champions. The news of the gift diverged throughout the republic, and when Arthur came to determine where to start an adult career, there were plenty of options.

The Kayumovs went to Ak Bars, inspected the base, talked with the leadership, but, knowing that young players did not complain about the main team at that time, the family leaned towards another option - Yaroslavl. Kayumov could get to Ak Bars, but chose Lokomotiv photo: HClokomotiv. Firstly, the railway workers have one of the strongest youth hockey systems. Almost always, Loko produces its victories by the efforts of the pupils.

Secondly, the first Nurmeev moved there. He promised to follow the hockey player, while he was mastered not only in the new team, but also in the new city and new life without parents. Subsequently, Arthur grew up in the KHL player, participated in the youth world championship, won the “silver” of the Olympiad and was noted by Chicago. Kayumov refused due to the political situation in the NHL draft in the year under the number.

At Chicago, he chose the following tactics: to give time Arthur, to see how he will get stronger in the KHL, and only then make a decision on his transfer to America. The Americans really monitored Kayumov’s progress, the club representatives regularly talked with him, made it clear that they were remembered about him. Like any ambitious hockey player, Arthur dreamed of trying himself in the strongest League of the world, but several times refused Chicago and signed a new contract with Lokomotiv.

The last time - a week ago: Kayumov signed a new contract with railway workers for three years. When the journalists asked if he wanted to go to the NHL, the player replied: no, since the geopolitical situation interferes with this. Kayumov's family is patriotic not in words. Kayumov achieved his progress under the leadership of Igor Nikitin photo: HClokomotiv. In December, he also extended the contract with the club - up to a year.

With Nikitin, Kayumov, like other young hockey players Loko, developed complete understanding. Nikitin captivates players by explaining his every decision, establishes clear and understandable rules of the game and communicates with the players respectfully, even if they are young. He also made an important adjustment in his coaching style: he began to provide freedom to creative players, which include kayamov.

It cannot be said that Kayumov had no contact with the former Loko coaches, but with them he could not prove himself the same as this season, due to his youth, lack of experience, physical data. Now Arthur, according to his first coaches, grew up in every sense. It can be seen that he matured, matured, became more experienced. It looks very decent.
