Wives of Russian football players: about husbands, sports and a big victory. What are these

How did you meet Andrey?
We were introduced to Andrei by a chance, if I may say so, then it turned out that it was fate. We had common acquaintances, but we went a long way to staying together, at first there were several dates on which we left the wrong impression of each other. (smiles)

How long have you been together?
We have been together for 4 years. Of course, this is nothing in relation to eternity, but it’s already enough for us, our characters are in principle incompatible

Do you like football yourself? Do you attend matches
I love football, by itself. The game makes me worry, and it is always interesting, and of course, I began to get involved in it more after meeting my husband.
I am always present at home matches, if I am healthy, I also go to away matches, but in those cities where my friends remain. I combine football and the opportunity to see them

Do you communicate with the wives of other players, if so, with whom?
Of course, I communicate with wives. There are just acquaintances, there are close friends. Maria Bazhenova, Marina Kasaeva, Zinoviev Maria and Maria Ryzhikova. In good relations with Maria Bilyaletdinova, only Maria has something (smiles) Plus a lot of familiar wives from Ukraine.

How do you feel about fans?
If the fans are real, and not just one name, then I'm fine, otherwise we have a lot of "specialists" who just come to yell in the right place and out of place

Fortunately, my husband is not a star, so the Lord fenced me off from fatatok in the worst sense of the word, but admirers of his "creativity" are still rare, but I treat them well if they are adequate (smiles)
Do you discuss your husband's game at home?
In my free time I like to attend various events, exhibitions, theaters and concerts, as well as meet friends, I love karaoke
What do you yourself do in life? Where do you study?
I do a lot of things in life. I graduated from GITIS, as well as an institute with a degree in IMAGELOGY. I am fond of fashion, I work on various projects as a stylist. This year I plan to enter the "art history department" and open my own atelier, if everything works out)

It may be possible to work as a stylist in the cinema, but I don’t like to make plans, and even more so, it’s still unknown where my husband will continue his career
Where did you like your vacation the most? And where are you planning to relax this year?
I don’t work to rest, so I liked every vacation wherever we were), especially since we have our own, interesting and friendly company, and each country has its own culture and its own flavor

We'll be alive, we'll go to America, we haven't been there yet, there is interest in this big country)
How do you like Krasnodar? Did you immediately get used to the atmosphere, to the new place?
Krasnodar is a southern city and the people here are temperamental, but Kazan is closer to me, with its architecture and upbringing of people, and there are many friends, a lot of water, our wedding was there (smiles)

I am not a picky person, and I get used to everything quickly, especially since to be cunning, the conditions are good for us, but we have not taken root here yet, and I think this is not "our" city by many criteria
Tell us about the most vivid memory related to your relationship or your husband's football career.
A vivid memory, this is one of the first dates on which my husband’s friend asked me to put on Andrey’s jersey for the game that was in Rostov and said that he asked for it. I put it on and spent the whole game, challenging the honor and dignity of the Siberia team and Andrey in particular. Of course, I flew in there a little, but I was proud of myself, and Andrey was subdued by my courage (laughs)

For two weeks, fans of Doma-2 host Olga Buzova and football player Dmitry Tarasov have been worried about family life their favorite and discuss possible options for the cause of the couple's quarrel. They dream that the spouses would soon reconcile, and harmony and peace would reign in their relationship again. However, while Dmitry is trying to solve some problems in Moscow, his wife went to rest in Spain in the company of her girlfriend.

Buzova has a great time with her friend and thanks her for a wonderful trip.

"My life. Marina Kasaeva, I am grateful to you for everything. There are no words to describe my gratitude to you. Love you!" - Olga wrote in the microblog.

Apparently, the joint trip helped Buzova's friend look at many things in her life in a different way. Marina said that the TV presenter is very worried.

"Love you! You have no idea! Your pain makes me stronger! Thank you, dear! I understood and overestimated a lot!” - Olga's friend answered in the comments.

Fans hurried to comfort the host of "House-2". They hope that Buzova and Tarasov will still be able to overcome the crisis and reconcile. “Olenka, I wish you happiness and success even more than you have! So that your enemies envy you, and everyone else is proud! You are a role model, and not only for me! You look at you, and strength is taken to go on, even when it seems they are not there! I sincerely wish you happiness, joy, success, and may trouble never come to your house. God bless you and your loved ones”, “Ol, I don’t know what happened to your husband, but whatever happened, you are a woman, the keeper of the hearth, be indulgent to him, and finally make up. I believe and see that you have a true love that can be found once in a lifetime. Don't regret anything later," the fans wrote.

In Spain, Olga and her friend Marina stayed with a married couple who have been living together for 60 years. Thanks to them, Buzova believed in true love. Recently, Olga has been trying to convey her feelings through poetry. She chooses poems from different authors and quotes them in her microblog.

Life will put everything in its place
She will punish and judge
For not then, not there,
We were the will of fate.
Not with those, not then agreed,
And they looked to the wrong side,
Life is not valued that way
They didn't say what they wanted...
Looking for something a mile away
Not seeing what is next to us,
Without hearing the words that we are called,
Not so perceiving views.
Not the one met the plane,
And they were waiting on the wrong platform,
We were looking for the wrong pier
We did not know the route number.
Though fate is sometimes strict,
We won't lose our smile
Life will put everything in its place
Forgiving, perhaps, for mistakes!

A year ago, one of the brightest couples in show business broke up - Dmitry Tarasov left Olga Buzova for the sake of the young beauty Anastasia Kostenko. The story of the Tarabuziki is over. Nevertheless, perhaps there was not a single day during this time when the ex-spouses were not remembered in the Russian media. Thanks to the hard work of Olga Buzova, Internet users continue to follow the personal life of her ex-husband and his new passion.

Well, Buzova is moving forward at such a pace that her pressure surprises not only ordinary viewers, but also colleagues of the star. One by one, Olga's unpretentious hits take first place in various ratings, and she herself has already managed to conquer the most prestigious music venues in the country.

And although in conversations with journalists Buzova tries to limit topics only to her work, she still shares some details of her personal life.

After the divorce, Olga Buzova figured out the price of her former friends

Those who closely follow the life of Olga Buzova remember very well that she was always surrounded by a huge number of friends. And the 30th anniversary of the TV star was like a wedding feast - about 200 close friends came to congratulate Olya.

Buzova always gladly accepted her husband's friends, and it was to her that some of Tarasov's friends owe their established career in show business.

When Dmitry Tarasov introduced Anastasia Kostenko to his entourage, the mutual friends of the Tarabuzikov faced a difficult choice - either to accept new girlfriend a football player, thereby "betraying" friendship with Buzova, or to stay with Olga, refusing further communication with Tarasov. Few managed to maintain neutrality.

Now, according to Olga Buzova, out of those 200 friends, only 25 remained next to her, but these are the friends who have passed a difficult test:

If 200 people came to the 30th anniversary, then on the current birthday, when she celebrated her 31st birthday, only 25! Here also consider. But I take it easy. There are close people who have known me for a long time, love and support me at any moment. This is the main thing. Among them are my sister Anya, friend Olya Desyatovskaya from St. Petersburg, the wives of football players Masha Pogrebnyak, Marina Kasaeva and others ...

We mark this material in Zen and stay abreast of all the intrigues and scandals of show business.

FRIDAY TALK

If all football players were like that - relaxed, smart, elegantly expressing ... Yes, we would go to the heroes of today even more often than to cheerful old men with their memories diluted with fantasies.

But there are few people like Alan Kasaev. It's a pity.

* * *

- You recently had twins. Our congratulations.

I'm happy! Children are the brightest thing in life. Already in the third month they knew that there would be two girls - the names were ready, Amelie and Miroslava. That's just with the timing almost guessed ...

- When did you wait?

- The names are interesting.

Marina and I chose for a long time, we read everything on this topic. Come responsibly!

Did your parents approve?

They probably wanted Ossetian names. We decided on our own. After all, our children. But for me, my father and mother are the main authorities. I usually listen.

- It doesn't look like your nose was broken in August. No trace.

So there was no fracture.

- How was it not? Cherevchenko spoke!

There was a shift. If you look at it from the side, you can see it. I'll take care of this while on vacation. They'll straighten it out. At night, in a dream, you turn over - your breathing changes.

- You got it by scoring a goal against Krasnodar. Who loaded the boot in the face?

My friend Vitaly Kaleshin. Still laughed. Although the field was not a laughing matter. From the blow led a little. I've been thinking about changing.

- But played half an hour.

On the moral-volitional. Head after the match hurt badly. He flew to his parents in Vladikavkaz. I woke up in the morning - bruises under my eyes! Of course, it seemed to everyone that the fracture.

- The most terrible blow to the legs in your life?

About four years ago, when I played for Rubin in Moscow against Dynamo, Wilkshire tore my boot.

- Butsu?!

Well, yes. The last minute, we were 2-0, the game is ours. Suddenly he jumped from two legs, slashed with spikes. He would not beat casually, but directly - he would turn his whole leg.

- Answered?

They even caught on with Wilkshire. The judge did not give a red, although this is a 100% removal! Of course referees make mistakes. But if the moment is obvious - why not delete it? It will still repeat! And I left the boot in the locker room - look here ...

Did Wilkshire apologize?

Soon I moved to Dynamo. Reminded him of that match, they also laughed. Everyone knows Luke as a fighter, his emotions were bursting. But you have to be able to win!

- You didn't tear anyone's boots?

What are you talking about?! I will never deliberately hit from behind. The only episode - with "Terek". Accidentally stepped on Achilles Oleg Ivanov. He felt himself in pain.

- With whom of the defenders did you suffer the most?

With Anyukov. Unpleasant, does not allow to turn around. Studied me very well. But lately they haven't crossed paths.

– Logically – the right flank in “Zenith” staked Smolnikov.

By the style of the game - one on one Anyukov! For four years of work with Berdyev, we have dismantled the entire championship from "a" to "z". I can easily name the cons of any Russian defender. Almost everyone reacts to the first movement. You have to take it sharp.

- Are there many dirty defenders in our league?

Here, two supporting hava are out of competition - Wernbloom and Javi Garcia. Provocateurs! Here we play with “Zenith”. Either Garcia punches Maicon in the face, or steps on Tarasov's foot. Intentionally! Isn't that red? I would like to ask: "Why are you breaking the game with provocations ?!" Or the Hulk...

- What?

Waving his arms at every referee's whistle. A Russian football player is either put on a card or removed for this. For some reason, the Hulk is spared. Judge the same! In the Champions League, this does not allow itself. Because they'll kick you out right away. And in Russia they forgive him everything.

- Judge Baskakov told us how indignant he was with Sharonov's eternal grumbling...

Roma is like that, I know. Emotional, choked the judges.

- So a respected referee once on the run moved his elbow under his stomach. Have you ever seen anything like it?

No. I'll tell you about something else: remember our match with CSKA in Khimki? Two ridiculous "points". The first - on the 15th minute. I run up to the referee: "What are you doing this for? Let me just play football!"

- And Karasev?

- "Not all!" It doesn't fit in my head. Do you review your game, notice blunders? Colleagues give you a "deuce". Or "one" - do not know what their grades are. You go to the next match - and you allow the same thing. Absurd!

- Did Karasev already understand that he was wrong?

Of course. So he put a return penalty. Or accept "Rostov". We score a clean goal - do not count. Would lead 1:0 - a completely different alignment! As a result, 0:2. And if these points are not enough for us for medals?

- We will not name the worst judge in Russia. It will hurt you. Let's name the best.

The problem... I have a good relationship with Lapochkin. With Bezborodov. True, he had such matches that he did not want to say hello. Karasev sometimes judges well. And the next game - again ... There is now a young referee - such an impulsive one, ha. You yell at him, he yells at you!

- With your mother?

Without. But harshly: "Don't put pressure on me!"

- With arbitrators sorted out. Football player of the year?

Dzyuba scores in every match in the fall.

- I didn't play for the first six months.

It's right. Hulk?

- It's strange that they thought. It seems to us that in Russia there is a Hulk - and all the rest.

Yes, the Hulk is number one. I also like Musa. Even more than Doumbya.

- Why?

Musa is not greedy. If the partner is in a favorable position, he will give. Doumbya always thrashes himself. Egoist - like many center forwards.

- What is your most memorable goal not scored?

First season in Alania. Burning "Baltika" 0:1, 90th minute, penalty. Beau - the goalkeeper drags!

- It's annoying.

Since then, I haven't reached the "point". This is a special science. I remember how Demetradze performed - the goalkeeper jumped into one corner, the ball rolled into another. I can not do that. Although Berdyev forced both penalty kicks and free kicks. He said at what height to send the ball. I asked Guilherme: is Bekiich right? Is it necessary to beat so that it creeps along the ground? Exactly!

* * *

- Legendary goalkeeper Dominik Hasek shared a secret: "The better I feel in the morning, the worse I will play in the evening." Do you have such patterns?

There is!

- How interesting.

If I fly around the field on the eve of the match, I will not look good in the game. If it's for the pre-game "slippery" - on the contrary, tomorrow I'll "run away".

- Reason?

Thought about it a lot. He remembered what he ate the day before the game. An explanation has been found.

- AND?

I was constantly cutting weight. It had an effect. Now I understand that it’s not worth infringing on yourself a day or two before the match. Overeating is also harmful, but the body needs to get as much as it needs to burn in the game.

Are you changing something now?

I can afford to eat after the match. And the next day. Of course, there will be no cake, sweets on the table, this is out of the question…

- And on vacation?

Indifferent to sweets. Solid carbohydrates - and I am disposed to gain weight. There was a case in Alania. He suggested to Misha Bakaev: we take the same pieces of meat, we eat them. You are a tomato and I am a tomato. Then on the scales.

- What did they show?

He gained a kilo, I have two. Misha was amazed. I've been dropping those pounds all my life!

- You don't touch the cakes. What about Ossetian pies?

In season, no. Pies in Ossetia and in Moscow are different planets. Mom and dad visit once every five months - they bring real ones. That's when I eat.

- Goalkeeper Zaur Khapov with a weight of 110 kg gave a chic match against Borussia Dortmund. After that, Gazzaev did not start a conversation with him on the topic of extra pounds.

I have the same thing with Berdyev! You saw me drive. In the 30-degree heat, he put on a sweater and a lap dog. He is horrified: "Take off! You will fall and die here!" In general, with such a load, only water leaves. You dry out - hence the muscle injuries. At some point, Bekiich waved his hand: "Leave him, that's it. He plays - and plays ..."

Alan KASAEV and Kurban BERDIYEV. Photo by Alexander FEDOROV, "SE"

- This is right?

For me, yes. The coach, of course, wants me to be at the ideal weight. He understands that I can drive. At least for a day - as in Dynamo. Then Cherchesov, the new doctor, came - I had to lose five and a half kilograms.

- Managed?

Dropped five. Got on the scales, fixed. Then he walked around like a zombie. The next day, these kilograms returned. So it wasn't my weight!

- You once mentioned that in Lokomotiv a minute of being late costs five thousand rubles. And the extra kilo?

There are no penalties for overweight. Yes, and about five thousand, I softened. More. I decided not to injure people with numbers. So Cherevchenko “crammed” me: “What kind of fiction about five thousand?” I'm in the team watching the penalty box. Here's skipping a workout without a good reason - several thousand euros.

- In "Spartacus" from the time of Karpin, one hundred grams excess weight cost a hundred dollars.

It's already over the edge. Well, you will dry out the players. Do they play better? Discussed this topic with Glushakov and Shishkin. He asked: "Do you think Karpin would kick me out on the second day?"

The same Berdyev gave a certain program for vacation. When we returned, I allowed three extra pounds. He warned: "You have a week."

- Humane.

No one was forced to get up in the morning and run to the scales. And in a week you will get involved - with two workouts a day.

- Record weight, which dropped?

On vacation - ten kilos in ten days. I know a lot of boxers and mixed martial artists. Khabib Nurmagomedov before the last fight drove 22 kilograms! True, it broke.

- Twenty-two is crazy.

My closest friend Misha Malyutin turns 74 kilograms into 61. Having weighed himself like that, he gains ten in a day. I ask: "How?" - "Due to protein and water."

- The brightest fight you've been to?

Ruslan Provodnikov - Jose Castillo in Luzhniki. Ruslan is a cool boxer. Spectacular, cut, everything for the fans ... The fight with Timothy Bradley was a turning point for him. Should have won, knocked him down three times. Kazakhstan is represented by Gennady Golovkin. Superman! It's a pity that Khabib's fight in America was canceled due to an injury. When there was Fight Nights in Moscow, I was introduced to Melvin Manhoff, Mike Zambidis, other K-1 stars. Melvin is doing an amazing fight.

- Is it cut too?

Yes. Now I saw him live, took a picture. And with Ben Henderson.

- Did he beat Fedor Emelianenko?

No, his name was Dan Henderson. Misha introduced me to this company: "My friend, a football player..."

- The word "Locomotive" hardly meant anything to them?

Well, of course... Do you know Fabricio Werdum?

- Here he is exactly dealt with Fedor.

Yes. In October, Werdum signed a contract with the Akhmat club from Grozny. And Malyutin fights for this club, they work in the same room. Approaches Werdum: "Can you send a video message to my friend?" I'm dumbfounded! "Hi Alan. I'm the UFC champion..." Some wishes. I dream of seeing it live. The UFC is like the Champions League!

- Did you communicate with Emelianenko Sr.?

It didn't happen. Soon Fedor will fight in Moscow, I will definitely go. And on December 12 - on Roy Jones.

- We met Fedor about seven years ago. I arrived on the Tula train in some kind of zipun, a hat over the eyes. No one recognized him, we sat and talked at the Kursk railway station ...

It's in Japan and America that the fees for fights are crazy. And we have? Beating off their heads in training, the guys get money, which is not enough for treatment. If a guy gets a job as a security guard, he will earn twice as much. I'm not kidding, these are real numbers.

- On the street, did wrestling and boxing come in handy at least once?

Anything happened when I was young. I'm not cocky, but if you give in, they eat it right away. From the last - the story in Krasnodar, when he played for the Kuban. A drunken company got attached, two friends were with me. Slightly waved.

- Do you understand who you are?

Then - yes. Or maybe they knew that the footballer was specially provoked. With age, you try to avoid street conflicts. Why look for adventure, take risks because of nonsense? Unless, of course, relatives are hooked.

- Where were you at the moment when a fan hit a grenade at Petrovsky?

He warmed up - and ended up near the fans. As soon as the game was stopped, he rushed under the stands. They had already climbed over, standing outside the gate...

- An eerie feeling?

Extremely unpleasant: you turn around - and the crowd rushes at you. They will trample and not notice.

- What to do in such a situation?

Scoot! What else? Grenade I ask: "Why did you hesitate?" “I thought he scared me…” Ha!

- Poor Garnet.

Thank God, casually hit him. The man was wearing gloves. Who knows what's in your hand? And if he planted brass knuckles?

- Would you answer this citizen if you were Granat?

Where to answer? Here it’s not your “I” that needs to be shown, but to run, and quickly. Granya did not orient himself. Dzhudzhak something showed high-speed qualities. Jumped over barriers. He did not run across the field like that!

* * *

- You were not in Krasnodar, where Lokomotiv conceded six goals from Kuban. Do you know what happened in the locker room? Cherevchenko raged?

I called the guys after the game. They said: Gennadyich did not "push", supported. Like, there are such matches, you need to swallow and prepare for the next one ... Everything at the “Kuban” flew up that evening!

Igor CHEREVCHENKO and Alan KASAEV. Photo by Alexey IVANOV, "SE"

- Why did the team slip under Bozovic?

With Miodrag in the fall they gave a good segment. But after the winter break, everything is awry. Gennadyich took this into account. The training process has become tougher, the load at the training camp has increased.

- How did Bozovic leave?

Arrived in Bakovka, said goodbye to everyone. There were no tears, but they saw how hard it was for him. Yes, we were very worried. The guy is awesome. He did everything for us. And we did nothing for him.

- Which of your coaches, leaving the team, did not hold back the tears?

Petrescu's assistant at Dynamo is Patrick Lazarescu. By the way, both he and Emil Karas congratulated by text message on the birth of their daughters. Was touched, did not expect.

- Bozovic - humorous.

You won't get bored with him. At the first meeting, he told Sheshukov: “Bob, Moskva, Rostov, Lokomotiv ... Wherever I go, you are everywhere! If they call Real, will you go with me?” Then he turned to me. He narrowed his eyes: “Kasaev, you look at me the way I look at you. When I scored against my Rostov.”

Bozovic has a wonderful feature - he never calls black white. Knows how to lose. And some coaches are annoying. The team was taken out in one gate, but in an interview they say that they were unlucky, they had a lot of chances. To whom are they hanging noodles?

- Kuchuk invited you to Lokomotiv. They say about him: "Gloomy, incredibly energy-consuming ..."

It's not easy with him. Strict. Trainings are emotional, intense, almost without pauses. At the training camp, at first you rejoice: "How quickly I got in shape!" But soon such fatigue rolls over that you can hardly move your legs. Before signing the contract, he met with Kuchuk. First of all, he said: "Alan, I know all your strengths and weaknesses ..."

- Sounded?

Accurately! I was surprised. Kuchuk continued: "You have something to work on, but I think we'll get along. Hands?" - "Agreed. I'll try not to let you down."

- Kuchuk is obsessed with tactics. Did you discover something new after Berdyev's lessons?

It's impossible. Wherever I play, Berdyev's school is number one for me. He spent hours on theory. Since then, sit for 20-30 minutes at the layout - seeds. When Bekiic decided to rebuild Rubin's game, there were two theories a day! At nine in the morning and after dinner.

- How did you present the change of course?

- "Guys, we will play a different football. According to the principle of Barcelona. Let's try - while there is time at the training camp ..."

- "Barcelona" from "Rubin" did not work. Berdyev returned to the old scheme.

In order to play like Barça, you need the right players. But it was a useful experience, we learned a lot. On theory, Bekiich called for active participation in discussions: "Do not be silent! It is important for me to hear everyone's opinion!" On the field for forty minutes almost led by the hand. Throw the ball - and shows who should be at what point.

- It used to happen that in theory someone suddenly gave a voice - and the people laughed?

Ryzhikov knew how to defuse the situation. Goalkeepers have a separate job, their own coach - Kafanov. But one cannot shirk the theory, they languished on a par with the field. Periodically, Berdyev asked: "Seryozha, do you have anything?" Ryzhik, fearing that he would be drawn into a sophisticated discussion, answered with the meaning: "No, no, everything suits me!"

Sharonov and Kaleshin liked to speculate aloud on theory. Puffed out for everyone. Let's say Kalekha says: "Bekiich, you shouldn't play like that here." - "Why?" - "If I move here, Sharon will not have time to secure, there will be a free zone..." Berdyev agreed with something, but not with something.

- Throwing the TV remote control in anger?

Yes, it was once. Pointed out to the player a tactical error. Wound up: "I chewed everything for you!" He blurted something out of place, word for word. Bekiich held a remote control in his hand. He swung - and into the wall.

- Shattered?

Naturally. Exhaled and continued the theory. I kicked the team out from the pre-game training.

- For what?

For you to understand, Berdyev has a clear schedule for every lesson. You can’t train at full speed, pass with your heels. And then someone's ball jumped, someone struck the wrong way. He yells, "Off the field! You're not ready to go!"

Kurban BERDIYEV in front of Alan KASAEV brings fear to Alexander EGOROV. Photo by Alexander FEDOROV, "SE"

– Before the “Barcelona” Berdyev exhausted views?

No. Restricted to the standard theory. What's the point of cheating if you're going to a team that slammed Real Madrid 5-0 the day before? That Barcelona is the best in history. Messi, Ibrahimovic, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Puyol... Berdyev was laconic at the pre-match: "Millions of people dream of just visiting the Nou Camp. And tomorrow you will go to the Champions League match. Play as you can, don't be afraid of anything."

On the day of the match, at lunch, Semak asked: "Ginger, did you tape your knees?" - "Why?" – “So as not to shake…” And the operator of “Rubin” promised to cut his hair bald if we play at least in a draw.

- Who shaved him?

Myself. Straight to the Nou Camp in the locker room with a typewriter - whack-whack! The door opened, Berdyev flew in: "Guys, what are you?! Rejoice!" But there is no strength. Inside emptiness and fatigue.

- When did you believe in victory?

With the final whistle. It is very difficult to sit on the defensive for 90 minutes. "Barcelona" rolls the ball, and you're splashing in tackles. Constantly on the move, endless rebuilds. If at least one of them hesitates, does not run after his own, a zone will appear, and they will immediately punish him.

- Berdyev's dance in the champion locker room was saved on the phone?

No. He is right before your eyes. No one expected such emotions from Bekiich.

- Did the confusion begin when Andrey Gromov was appointed general director of Rubin?

Yes. Berdyev raised football in the republic from scratch, led the club from the first league to the champions. Suddenly a young manager comes and tries to "build" the head coach... Who will like it?

- Will Berdyev return to Rubin?

I don't think he wants to anymore. Cooled down. In Kazan, they parted with him ugly, they didn’t even say goodbye. Bekiich didn't deserve this.

- Is your departure to Dynamo connected with the confrontation between Berdyev and Gromov?

No. The guys whom Berdyev invited to Rubin still resolved issues directly through him. We had a short conversation. "Bekiich, I've been here for four years. I'll change the situation." - "Good. Kazan is your home, we are always waiting! Thank you!"

* * *

- The debut for Dynamo turned out to be fun.

In Khimki - with the "Volga". Petrescu was disqualified - while he was rising to the box, we were already on fire 0:2. By the third minute! Here you are, I think, and came. Here's a change for you. I was told, Petrescu looks at the scoreboard: "What is this?" - "We're losing." - "How?!" But already by the break they equalized, I scored one. 2:2 finished.

- Petrescu could yell?

And how. But I was ready for this.

– Team nervousness transmitted?

Young, maybe. At my age, no. Well, yelling - so what?

- Later you said: "If Cherchesov had not replaced Petrescu, I would not even think about the Dynamo offer."

Lease contract, the right to buy from Dynamo. But if the coach remains, who pushed you, why sign something? I played eight matches, and not bad. Suddenly - hop, removed without explanation.

- It happens?

Once Petrescu came up: "You're tired, I'll give a break." I'm not 15 years old, I understand everything! Say it straight: "Alan, you won't play with me anymore."

- Is there an answer - why?

For myself, yes. In short: Petrescu made a bet on new players. Why is another question.

- Did you talk to him?

Somehow I stand with Garik Denisov. Petrescu passes by: "Well, was it better in Rubin?" I boil: "Yes!" The next morning I hear again: "Was Berdyev better?" - "Better!"

- Petrescu's reaction?

And I don't care anymore. I decided everything for myself. I have a good relationship with Gazzaev, I called him: "Valery Georgievich, this is the situation. You are in contact with the Dynamo leadership. Do they need me or not? Let them say! What should I do?"

- What could you do?

Yes, at least to return to the “Rubin”. The contract was valid until 2015.

- Did Gazzaev find out?

He called back: "Alan, one hundred percent - they are extending the contract with you for three years ..." I don't know which of the leaders he talked to. I waited and waited - and nothing. Here is the offer of Lokomotiv. I understood what the professionalism of the club is. Two days - and that's it!

- Adzhoev said: “We offered Kasaev a two-year contract, he preferred Lokomotiv.

Well, let there be such a version.

- And in fact?

Understand me too - initially there was a conversation about a contract for three years. Then one, second, fifth appears ... My head was spinning!

- "Dynamo" turned on in the literal and figurative sense.

Exactly. Do not think that you ran after the money. In Lokomotiv I get as much as Dynamo gave. Everything suits me, I am ready to play in this club until the end of my career. In the first year they won the cup, got into the national team, now they are in the table at the top. And what about Dynamo? Another revolution.

- Slutsky invited you to the national team. What did he say at the meeting?

There was no detailed discussion. I was called instead of the injured Fayzulin. I understood: since they were not included in the main list, the chances of entering the field are minimal.

- What do you need to add in order to go to Euro-2016?

Yes, in everything! This is especially true for defensive play. Of course, I want to gain a foothold in the team. But you can't jump above your head. At 29, you are philosophical about this. Call - great. No, it's not destiny.

- How did the legionnaires who played in Europe perceive the tactical lessons of Berdyev?

Fine. Take Bocchetti. Came from Serie A, but did not know much. Thanks to Berdyev, he grew into a classy defender. Today, the defense of Spartak rests on it. Remove Salvo - everything will collapse. What about Cesar Navas? A key figure in the defense of "Rostov". Yes, already old, the speed is not the same, but the game reads like "Sport-Express"! Just twitch to the side - Navas is already there.

All foreigners who came to Kazan were ready to study. The exception is Gokhan Tere. He is a strong football player, but in Turkey he is used to attacking football, he does not like to work in defense. Didn't want to change.

- Unlike Gekdeniz?

In terms of mentality, he and Toure are heaven and earth. Huck is a plowman! At 35, it is worn from flag to flag! We are family friends. He visited a couple of times.

- In the Stambul?

Yes. I saw how fans treat Gekdeniz. All of Istanbul wears it in their arms. Although he never played in this city, he played for Trabzonspor before Rubin.

- Lives in the palace, like a sultan?

It is possible to say so. The house is luxurious, by the sea. Gek is fine.

- What language do you speak?

In a mixture of English and Russian.

- You took an English tutor. How is it going?

No way. It is difficult to learn if you are not completely immersed in the language environment. Kindly envy Cheban and Eremenko. Ilyukha knows six languages, Roma - five. And the former translator of "Alania" Murat Sasiev - seven!

- What are these?

Russian, English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian. I ask: "Murik, how?!" Shrugs: "I turned on the cassettes at home and listened to ..." Now he is with Chebanu in "Mordovia". Two polyglots met.

- You've seen different legionnaires. The funniest?

Ansaldi. After the victory, in the shower he could ride naked on his stomach on the tiled floor. Sibaya is also cool, he mastered Russian. Somehow they delayed payments, he asks: "Bekiich, when is the bonus?" - "Don't worry, Shiba, everything will be fine soon." On the same day, he turns to him in the analysis: "Shiba, why didn't you run into this zone?" Silence. Berdyev repeats the question. Sibaya coldly: "I'don't understand…"

In “Alania” there was a Brazilian who ran around in circles for half a year - one thing hurts, then another. We leave for training, he hobbles in the distance. Artur Pagaev says: "Yes, they brought a super forward. From Brazil." - "Where? Whom?" - "Yes, look. Surname - Kaifanu ..." We peer into the silhouette and understand what kind of "Kaifanu".

- So you didn't play?

Yes, he played. But from him and healthy sense was not enough.

- Where is Dzhambulad Bazaev?

In Vladikavkaz, the director of the school "Youth".

- In 2007, he was expelled from Rubin, accused of involvement in the death of Lenar Gilmullin ...

I wasn't on the team then. As far as I know, Jabo has nothing to do with it. He was just the last person to see him alive. Some guy on a motorcycle offered Gilmullin a ride. The main complaint against Bazaev is that he did not intervene, did not stop. But what could he do if he sat down and drove off?

I spoke on this subject with Samarenkin when he became president of Rubin. He is also surprised: "Where does such anger at Bazaev come from? Why did they make him extreme? As if he was driving ..."

* * *

- Do you know that Lokomotiv applied for you before Rubin? The president of the club, Naumov, wanted to invite him, but Rakhimov was adamant: "Why do I need this bull? I love tall ones, with a wide step ..."

In the “Kuban” I heard about the interest of “Locomotive”, but at the level of rumors. And when I met with Berdyev, other options disappeared. I don't regret choosing Ruby. Four years with such a coach is an invaluable school.

- Naumov assured you were inexpensive. How much did Rubin pay for you?

About five million dollars.

- In 2004, you spent a couple of months in the Spartak team coached by Ilya Tsymbalar. How did you remember?

Bright man. Kind, gentle, never raised his voice. And what a technique! Sometimes with his assistant Miroslav Romashchenko participated in the "squares". It was impossible to take the ball away from them. After training, they practiced shots from the penalty line. Both Tsymbalar and Romashchenko scored nine out of ten with their left foot!

– Why did not stay in “Spartacus”?

Tsymbalar wanted me to stay. But the power in the club changed, Chervichenko left, Pervak ​​came ... Probably, it was not up to me.

- Andrey Chernyshov was your agent then?

Unofficially. The license was held by a man named Kultaev - Chernyshov's confidant. When he coached the youth team, he offered cooperation to many guys. Me including.

Did you really agree?

I quickly became disillusioned with these people. Promises were not kept. They love young people to "ride over the ears." In Russia today, among agents, every second is a swindler. I communicate with some agents, but I have not signed papers with anyone.

- The most unusual collection in your career?

In "Zenith" under Petrzhel. Brought to a mountain resort in France, put on skis. And I've never ridden! Wow, I think I got it! Maresh, Horak and Shirl sped off at once. And we, like turtles, crawled ten kilometers.

- Who are we"?

Shava, Kerzh, Fast, Garik… Petrzhela alternated loads. Skiing in the morning, cross country in the afternoon. Everyone cursed, but after his training camp the team ran like that! If Petrzhela had financial opportunities, like Lawyer and Spalletti, he would also make Zenit a champion.

- What did you lack to play there?

Health. Twice tore "crosses", missed a season and a half ... Sasha Spivak encouraged in difficult moments: "Alan, do not be angry, continue to work calmly. A year or two - and you will be at the base."

– Which of the young in the “Zenith” was considered a genius?

I remember the four from the "Sportacademclub" - Maksimov, Burakov, Korotkov, Stroev. I came later. St. Petersburg guys said about them: "Sarsania brought top players!" Maksimov is now in Anji, the rest have not been revealed. And Garik talked about a guy who studied with Kerzh at school: "Touch, this is a phenomenon! I have never seen a more talented football player!"

- Surname?

Went out of my head. At Zenith, he did not stay long. Either Lepekhin, or one of the “old men” rolled up during training, a fracture - and finished. Of my peers in the youth team, forwards Vanya Shpakov from Krylia and Zhora Gurtskaya from the Dynamo double stood out. What did they do with the ball! I had no doubt - two stars are growing. But Kombariki were absolutely not quoted.

- Why?

No offense, but when I saw them for the first time, I thought: this does not shine. Thin, small ... Or did I seem big from childhood? The brothers made their way through character, diligence. And in Dynamo I was struck by Kokorin.

- How?

It's one thing to watch him in the game. Another is to collide daily in training. Here you understand that Kokora has fantastic potential. Light, technical, fast, punchy. No weaknesses at all! Honestly, I thought he was "flying", "resting" ... No!

- Really?

Half an hour before entering the field, Kokora is always in gym. That's where he goes after training. At the same time, the feeling that fifty percent is laid out does not leave. If he turns on all the levers, he will play in any team in the world!

- Why don't you advertise that you are doing charity work?

I'm not doing it for PR. Marina knows, friends. It's enough.

- It's not about PR. Important by example h infect the others.

There are three football schools in Ossetia - "Youth", "Alania" and "Bars". I bring balls, boots, equipment to everyone. There are orphanages where I regularly deliver things by car. With one suddenly there was a problem.

- Which?

The director calls: "Alan, maybe with money?" Such requests are disturbing. Before you pay the bill for treatment, you should not be too lazy and find out that these are not scammers. They have a lot of schemes. I'm not sorry to give a hundred thousand, two hundred, three hundred, half a million. But they must reach people who really need help. I remember that at Rubin, on the initiative of the wives of Orekhov and Noboa, they collected more than a million dollars for the boy's treatment in Germany. It is desirable to send money to charity directly. To a specific person, without contacting funds. Or visit a clinic for seriously ill children, put some amount into the account. For chemotherapy courses, for example.

- Once upon a time, Sergei Ignashevich came to Evgeny Giner for advice on a business project. Who are you consulting?

There are friends who have everything in order with the business, nothing is needed from me. Plus, the wife is wise, with business acumen. You would know how many offers are pouring in: "Let's invest, let's do this ..."

- Break off something from your income.

Well, yes. Some divorce. Sometimes, someone offered to buy real estate. Friends convinced - it is not necessary. It turned out to be true. At that place, or problems with the land, or with the property. I weigh every step.

- Many players invested in apartments. Then they gave up.

Me too. But it's time to end this.

- Why?

Unprofitable! The more apartments, the higher the tax. It is more profitable to sell them, buy commercial premises and rent them to the bank. Sign a long-term contract.

- How old is your restaurant?

Four years. He is in St. Petersburg. Once Marina met in this city. The wife runs the restaurant. I don't get into these questions. There is a manager, Marina trusts him. Although I understand - if you yourself do not live nearby, then ... They steal!

- How to fight?

No way.

- Someone puts hidden cameras.

No, this is nonsense. Marina turns a blind eye to some losses.

- Are you in the black?

We got to zero quickly, but now the season is like this ... St. Petersburg and Moscow - different levels of income. Definitely profitable only top restaurants in the center. Ours is on Vasilyevsky Island, near the stadium. From the very beginning, the focus was on the middle class.

- Do you have an apartment in Moscow?

Recently bought near the base, in a suburban village. I get to training for ten minutes, a closed area, near a lake, a forest. All for the kids, for us it was the main thing.

- Perhaps the most expensive direction of the Moscow region.

Yes. I took a loan, you can’t get anywhere ... It’s better not to pay someone for a rented apartment, but for your own.

- Once Marina helped you celebrate your birthday with a banner in front of the Kuban base.

Only I didn’t notice him, I was in a hurry to train. Marina calls: "What, slipped through?" - "What are you talking about?" Came back, saw this billboard. It was so nice!

Do you remember the inscription?

- "Happy birthday, my love. Your Marina." And everyone from the team saw immediately. They were shocked. But it happens to me. If something happens, I'll be the last to know.

- For example?

In St. Petersburg, my car was stolen from the entrance. The camera showed - the man got into the BMW X6, started it and drove off. Two seconds. My wife couldn't get through to me. And I was sitting with Kaleshin, he was dialing: "Tell Alan that the car is gone." He says something, I didn’t really understand, I called Marina back: “Imagine, Kalekha’s car was stolen.” - "Fool! Not at Kaleshin's, but at yours!" Haha...

- Did they find her?

Yeah. Wow, standing at the threshold. It would be better not to find.

- Why?

They would pay the insurance money - and that's it. Found somewhere already with Lithuanian numbers. A friend came to inspect - intact, not a scratch. Apparently, the hijackers started with the key. A day later I arrive - the car is disassembled!

- ???

The casing was torn apart, the larva was carefully pulled out. I say: "What are you? She was normal yesterday!" - "Not!" It took six months to repair.

Did the police try?

Then who? Probably to demonstrate - that's what the hijacking was. I don't know what they write in the protocols. And you can't prove anything.

- What was found, a miracle?

- "Found" ... The next morning, the hijackers themselves called! "Give me two million rubles - and the car is yours again." I answer: "Leave to yourself..." They steal - and ask for a ransom. Suddenly not insured? If you don't, it will go to the side.

- There was no desire to get rid of her - as from "not lucky"?

The car is great. I go with pleasure. Prior to that, X6 gave his wife. I was preparing for the game in Kazan, and Marina has a birthday, she is in St. Petersburg. Asked a friend to invite her to a restaurant. The car was driven to the door, in bows. Marina was given the keys - she went out and burst into tears.

- Did any of your friends make beautiful gifts for their wives?

I assume that Dima Tarasov. A man with a fantasy.

- What else did Marina surprise you with?

In the St. Petersburg apartment there is a huge photograph that I ordered for my birthday. Seems like an ordinary one. You come closer and you see that it is assembled like a mosaic from my own little cards. All football life, since "Zenith". So great!

New Year- traditionally a family holiday and a time for summing up. But if the football results of 2015 are known to everyone and widely discussed, then the guys sometimes prefer to keep personal things to themselves.

We are convinced that the success of the team is largely the merit of the "other halves" of our players.

The wives of the Lokomotiv footballers told the club's press service about the most significant events of the outgoing year, plans for the holidays, and also left wishes to their native team.

Olga Buzova, wife of Dmitry Tarasov

So many events have happened this year that it is impossible to list them all. If we talk about my achievements, I would mention the TV series "Beads", in which I starred at the beginning of the year. For me, this is the first big role in the whole series. If we talk about Dima and me, this year we bought a house. For us, as a family, a very important achievement; this is what we dreamed of. Now we are arranging our nest. I also remember a trip to Lisbon, where my friends and I went to support Lokomotiv in the match against Sporting. I was on the fan stand, and when we won, the emotions were amazing! I felt this atmosphere for the first time: when you are with the fans, and this is one single impulse! Of course, as a beautiful final chord of the year - Dima's goal in Albania. I am very proud of them!

The upcoming celebration of the New Year is our fifth joint. And we will celebrate it in the Maldives. For us to be together is a very big luxury. This year it was not possible to leave in December, as my co-host went on maternity leave, and I was left alone at work. Unfortunately, the vacation will not be as long as in previous years, but in December we went to the birthdays of all our friends.

I really love our team. I am insanely admired and proud of my beloved husband. The most important thing is everyone's health in such a difficult sport. As few injuries as possible, and it is better that they do not exist at all! And, of course, as many victories as possible. And I wish my husband everything personally in the New Year. My husband knows how much I love him, but through the Lokomotiv website I want to give him one more confession: Dima, I love you very much, I'm proud of you, you are the best for me!

Happy New Year!

Anastasia Denisova

2015 has been a very busy year for us. They managed, as they say, everything: build a house, plant a tree, give birth to a child. Yes, this is our first joint year with Vitaly. Two such important events at once - our wedding and the birth of a baby ...

The end of the year turned out to be nervous: our team played in three tournaments at once, there were many games, stress. But the guys did it!
We are flying to America to celebrate 2016. This is our old dream - to celebrate the New Year in New York. But even there - Olivier, herring under a fur coat, tangerines! Let's go to a Russian restaurant. We want to dedicate the holiday to each other, so we go together. And a little later, our baby will join us!

I would like to wish the team even more success and victories in the coming year. We, the wives of the players, really believe in them and love them! And also we all feel the support and feelings of our fans, thanks to them for that!

I wish Vitaly health, fewer injuries, more strength and patience. He is a real fighter, a man with a capital letter. Let everything work out!

Marina Kasaeva

– Of course, the main event this year for our family is the birth of our daughters, Amelie and Miroslava. The names are unusual, but we approached their choice very carefully. We read a lot of literature about names, picked up ...

But in general - the year turned out to be good, family. Alan and I tried to spend as much time as possible with the team and the wives of other players. Lokomotiv is a big family not only on the field, but also outside it.

Usually the New Year was celebrated with friends - no matter in Moscow or abroad. But this year, thanks to our girls, new traditions will be born. We will celebrate the holiday in a narrow family circle. I know one thing for sure: without the traditional Olivier and tangerines - nowhere!

I would like to wish the whole team, first of all, health. And football players, and their families, relatives. Peaceful sky above your head! Let there be a single fist, faith in your work and the achievement of new, even higher peaks.

To my beloved husband, Alan, I wish health and patience. Indeed, in his house there are now as many as three girls, and all with different characters! And so that all dreams come true. Happy New Year!

Ekaterina Kolomeytseva

- Of course, the biggest event this year for our family is the transition to a new team and moving to Moscow. We are very pleased: of course, there were difficulties, but everything is left behind, and now we are setting ourselves new goals and tasks. There were wonderful people around. Just before leaving, I managed to graduate from the institute, and this year we also celebrated my daughter's first birthday.

We usually go on vacation before the New Year, but we always try to be in Russia on December 31st. Here you can feel the atmosphere of a real holiday better - snow, bustle, tangerines, fireworks. We celebrate in Perm, in the family circle. Olivier, tangerines and champagne must be present on the table! And the rest of the dishes vary from year to year - our mothers and grandmothers are very creative in this regard. They come up with, draw up ... Sasha and I have our own tradition - it is imperative to sum up the results of the year. In a literal sense, we sit opposite each other and talk: what has changed, what worked and what did not work, what we should strive for next year.

I would like to wish everyone, first of all, a good holiday. I hope everyone will take the maximum benefit from the rest, and the team will return to the games, charged at 100%. Of course, fewer injuries, more beautiful goals for everyone. And for the guys to justify the hopes of the fans. If we move away from the topic of football, then I wish everyone a peaceful sky over their heads and family happiness.

I wish my beloved husband to achieve his goals in the new year, spend as much time as possible on the field and benefit the team. I am very proud of Sasha and I know that he will achieve everything he wants, and I will always be there. I love him very much! With coming!

Marina Shishkina

- For my husband Roman, the football year was quite successful. In the spring we won the Russian Cup, now Lokomotiv is in third place and is successfully playing in the Europa League... And, of course, the call to the Russian national team was very important for him! Another memorable event - in the summer, Roman held a large-scale children's football tournament in Voronezh.

But, probably, the most important event... Soon there will be a new addition to our family! Therefore, we decided to celebrate the New Year in Russia. Before that, they celebrated mainly away from home - Switzerland, Dubai ... And now we are going to go to the countryside. And yes, I can't fly anymore. Let's invite friends, relatives, relatives. We will definitely arrange a children's program with the visit of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. From January 2-3, we will already be preparing for the appearance of the baby. So 2016 will be just as important for us!

I wish Lokomotiv the championship next year and successful performance in all tournaments. Roma and all the guys - health and fewer injuries. I also hope that Roman will be able to go to the 2016 European Championship and adequately defend the colors of our country in the Russian team. With coming!
