On July 15, the famous forward and coach of CSKA, Olympic champion, world champion, eight-time champion of the USSR and seven-time champion of the USSR as a coach of CSKA Yuri Ivanovich Moiseev would be 82 years old.
He came to CSKA from the modest Novokuznetsk "Metallurg" in 1962. The young forward's speed, efficiency, and tenacity attracted a lot. Dynamo Moscow and Khimik Voskresensk wanted to see him, but Yuri had dreamed of becoming a professional military man since childhood and chose an army club. Then he graduated from the Higher Command School named after the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR as an external student.
The CSKA and the national team coach, Anatoly Tarasov, designed a link that plays according to the "1-2-2" scheme, and called such a structure a "system". The role of the defender-stopper was entrusted to Oleg Zaitsev, the selfless Igor Romishevsky and the dimensional Anatoly Ionov played the role of the midfielders, the mighty Evgeny Mishakov and the fleet of feet Moiseev played as forwards.
- Tarasov threw the "system" at the leaders of the rivals, - recalls two-time Olympic champion Boris Mikhailov. – And I entrusted the personal defense of the captain of "Spartak" Vyacheslav Starshinov to the quick Moiseev. Sometimes it seemed that if he had gone to the rest room, Yuri Ivanovich would have followed him even there.
In 1963, Moiseev became the national champion for the first time, and then won seven more gold medals. However, the system was played on the national team only at one official tournament – the 1968 Olympics in Grenoble. Many then criticized this link, including Spartak players and backstopper Viktor Konovalenko. But they forgot who scored the goal in the decisive match with the Canadians, after which the Maple Leafs threw a white flag. Mishakov scored with a long miracle pass from Moiseev. The score was 2-0, and by the final siren the scoreboard was 5-0. The Olympic gold slipped out of the hands of the Czechs, who managed to beat the USSR national team by 5:4.
In October 1970, Moiseev and Mishakov made a turning point in the almost lost second match of the European Champions Cup final with Spartak. The CSKA players lost the first meeting by 2:3, they also lost in the replay by 3:5 in the 44th minute. And then Mishakov and Moiseev scored two goals, and then three more flew into the opponents ' goal cage – it was 8: 5 and CSKA won the trophy.
After finishing his career as a player, Yuri Ivanovich became a coach – he worked at the CSKA school for children and young people as an assistant to Konstantin Loktev and Viktor Tikhonov. With Moiseyev on the CSKA staff, he never let anyone knock him off the champion's throne.
Then Yuri Moiseev headed Dynamo ,and in the new history, he was in charge of Ak Bars. He managed to turn the average team from Kazan into the leader of domestic hockey. In 1998, the Bars players under the leadership of Moiseev became the champions of Russia. A significant contribution to that success was made by backstopper Dmitry Yachanov, who later worked as a backstopper coach of CSKA, and Almaz Garifullin, who is now a hockey president assistent of our club.
The second coming to Kazan in 2001 was not so successful. In January 2003, Moiseev submitted a retirement application for health reasons. Then he worked for a short time as a consultant in Kuzna. Life as a pensioner depressed the all-or-nothing person in life Yuri Ivanovich, in the offices of which there was always room for a portrait of his teacher Tarasov.
