Stanislav Cherchesov - biography

The world championship held in Russia was called the best in history by fans, football players, and functionaries. An even bigger surprise was the game of our national team, which for the first time in 36 years not only left the group, but also almost reached the semifinals. And the main merit in this achievement belongs to the coach of the national team Stanislav Cherchesov.

After the 2016 European Championship, fans were disappointed in the Russian national team. After losing almost all matches, she was eliminated from the tournament, and Main coach resigned. Cherchesov's appointment to the role of mentor was received with cautious optimism, which soon grew into enormous skepticism. Only a miracle could overcome it. And it happened!

Stanislav Cherchesov - Childhood, family

Many people knew the Cherchesov family in the North Ossetian town of Alagir. My father worked as a bus driver, and my mother looked after the house and raised five children. The most restless of them was the younger Stasik. The boy is Ossetian by nationality. To direct the boy's energy in the right direction, his parents sent him to the football section of the local "Spartak".

Five-year-old Stas wanted not to catch, but to score goals. But as they got older, everything fell into place. The guy's reaction was great, he became a goalkeeper. A promising player was noticed in the Ordzhonikidze "Spartak" and was invited to the team. For three years, Cherchesov has grown to a real master. However, no one is immune from defeat.

After the match, where his team lost, and the 25-year-old goalkeeper conceded six (!) Goals, he heard from the administrator: "Get ready, you are being summoned to Moscow, to Spartak." At that moment Stanislav sarcastically thought: “It's okay. And if you conceded eight goals, would you be invited to Manchester? " Nevertheless, he did not ignore the chance to get into big football.

“I come and immediately get to the match between the Spartak base and the double. We are losing 10: 1. Then we play in Dnepropetrovsk 0: 4 ..., - Cherchesov later recalled. - Well, that's all, I think. I could only get to the base, collect my things, and go home. And then I heard Starostin talking with Beskov. "A good guy, - Beskov says, - we take it." - "Kostya! What are you doing? - Starostin answers. - Put me in the gate, I won't miss so much!" - "Nothing, nothing. A good goalkeeper will be!"

The head coach of Spartak was not mistaken. He saw Cherchesov as a replacement for another legendary goalkeeper, Rinat Dasaev. Despite the fact that Stanislav came to Moscow as a potential replacement for the goalkeeper, they immediately became friends with Dasaev. The latter called the mustachioed Ossetian babai. The reason was that Stas arrived in Moscow in a sheepskin coat, which made his capital colleagues laugh. But he was not offended.

And his mustache already then became the subject of numerous jokes. “Babai, shave them off,” Dasaev said all the time. Once we argued with him about something, and I lost. Mustache! I had to take a razor and still shave it off. In the morning at training I ask: "Where is Dasaev?" There is not! I flew away with the national team somewhere for the tournament. And when I returned, I had already grown a new mustache, and he did not appreciate the sacrifice made. "

Cherchesov's career at Spartak Moscow was not easy. In the late 1980s, Dasaev left for Sevilla and Stanislav became the main goalkeeper. This is where it all started. In 1987, Spartak lost to Zalgiris, and Cherchesov became the culprit for all five goals. First, he was sent to a double, and then the management of Spartak gave him on loan to Lokomotiv.

Either the change of scenery had a favorable effect on Stanislav, or he understood the mistakes, but after a year Beskov decided: enough for the guy to wander. It was only a few days later that he was removed from his post, but Cherchesov, even without a patron, proved his right to be the main goalkeeper of Spartak. In 1992 Stanislav was named the best goalkeeper in Russia.

The salaries of domestic football players could not be compared with the fees of players in Europe. Therefore, the stars of Soviet football preferred to earn a comfortable pension in foreign clubs. Cherchesov accepted the offer of the Dynamo club from Dresden. He flew to Germany with his wife Alla and one-year-old daughter Madina.

In those years, Dynamo Dresden fought for survival in the Bundesliga and, despite an experienced goalkeeper, left the top division. Therefore, in 1996 Cherchesov moved to the Austrian club "Tyrol" from the city of Innsbruck.

For six years, he successfully defended the club's goal, becoming its living legend. The townspeople even awarded him the title of honorary resident. Together with "Tyrol" Stanislav became the champion of Austria and the owner of the country's cup. And in 1994, the long-awaited son Stanislav was born to the couple in Innsbruck.

Unfortunately, due to the theft of the management, Tyrol went bankrupt and was disbanded. Cherchesov returned to Moscow, to his native Spartak. The team at that time consisted of two excellent goalkeeper and he spent the season in reserve. It became clear: the goalkeeper's career is over - but why not start a career as a coach?

Cherchesov preferred to get his coaching license in Austria. First he coached 12-year-olds, then 15-year-olds, and then became the mentor of the Kufstein club from the regional league. When the Tyrol decided to revive the city team, it was difficult to find the best candidate for the role of coach. Cherchesov agreed to a modest salary and became the head coach of Wacker Tyrol.

The financial situation of "Tyrol" was so deplorable that Stanislav Salamovich had to recruit players practically on the street. So, he found one in the person of a sports journalist who had previously played one match for Tyrol. I found the second in an optics store where he was selling glasses. But in the end, the guys started to play. So much so that the club immediately took sixth place in the championship.

Mentoring at Tyrol allowed Cherchesov to acquire a reputation as a European-level coach. That is why Spartak Moscow decided to sign a contract with him. And I was not mistaken! In 2007, his team lost the championship to Zenit only in the last round, but in the next round, the management of Spartak decided to get rid of the principled coach.

Further in Cherchesov's career were Sochi's "Pearl", Grozny's "Terek" and Perm's "Amkar". And everywhere Stanislav Salamovich achieved good results with a modest budget. He is also known as a fan of strict discipline and a principled person. But no one ever heard Cherchesov raise his voice. On the contrary, when he was furious, he switched to a low voice, which the players compared to a hiss.

The golden double (victory in the cup and in the championship) of the Polish Legia, coached by Cherchesov, made him the main candidate for the post-coach of the Russian national team. At that time, the national team dropped to 53rd place in the ranking, and there were few people willing to head the “firing squad” position. Nevertheless, Cherchesov signed a contract and began to build the national team from scratch. A series of friendly matches of his team left the fans in despondency: the team was losing to the "average" national teams, not to mention the giants. And then a miracle happened!

First, Cherchesov's team beat the Arabians 5: 0, then snatched the match from the Egyptians 3: 1, leaving the group for the first time in 36 years. The euphoria experienced by the fans went off scale, and its leitmotif was an excerpt from the song of the Leningrad group: "You are just space, Stas!" Having shown a decent game, our guys stumbled only in the game with the Croats. And even then in the penalty shootout, which everyone considers a lottery. However, this did not prevent the players and her coach from becoming national heroes, and the fans to feel a sense of pride in the team that no one believed in for a long time.
Biography author: Vladilen Tolkachev

A month ago, the head coach of the Russian national team, Stanislav Cherchesov, was the object of harsh criticism and ridicule. Today he is the hero of songs, the team's tactics are praised by the leading coaches of the world, and those who demanded Cherchesov's resignation apologize to him through the newspapers, and FIFA is one of the contenders for the best coach of the year prize. The difficult career of the national team coach - in the RBC photo gallery

Stanislav Cherchesov was born in 1964 in the city of Alagir in North Ossetia. Already at the age of 18, he became the goalkeeper of the main team of the republic - "Spartak" from Ordzhonikidze (as Vladikavkaz was called in Soviet times). North Ossetia has always been famous for its football school. Here, for example, he started his career former coach Russian national team Valery Gazzaev. The current team is played by two fellow countrymen Cherchesova - Alan Dzagoev and Vladimir Gabulov

In 1984, Cherchesov moved to one of the strongest clubs in the country - Moscow "Spartak", but the first years almost all the matches were played on the bench. It was almost unrealistic to get into the base for the young goalkeeper - Rinat Dasaev, a fan favorite and the first number of the USSR national team, shone in Spartak of those years. When Dasaev decided to try his hand at the Spanish Championship, Cherchesov finally became the main goalkeeper of the capital team. Five years have passed since joining Spartak

Five seasons in the main team of "Spartak" were triumphant for Cherchesov: three victories in the USSR championship and the 1992 CIS Cup

Already during the 2018 World Cup, the son of the head coach of the national team Stanislav Cherchesov Jr. signed a contract with the Kaliningrad Baltika. The younger Cherchesov, like his father once, is a football goalkeeper.

Little is known about the coach's family: his wife's name is Alla and they have been together for over 25 years. In addition to his son, Cherchesov has a daughter, Madina.

Stanislav Cherchesov was a member of the USSR national team, and then of Russia for more than ten years. He took part in two world championships and two European championships, but the main goalkeeper of the team was only in one major tournament - the 1996 European Championship. For us, it ended in failure: the national team did not leave the group, having suffered two defeats and once drew.

Cherchesov spent his last years as a player in Europe: first at Dynamo Dresden, then at the Austrian club Tyrol from Innsbruck. For Tyrol, Cherchesov played seven seasons, becoming the idol of local fans. Even then, the makings of a future coach were noted in him: he led the partners on the field and adopted the methods of the Tyrol coach Joachim Lev, who now heads the German national team. At the current world championship, Stanislav Cherchesov surpassed his teacher: Germany could not overcome the group stage

Cherchesov got his first experience of coaching in Russia in those clubs for which he played: he started in Tyrol, and a few years later came to Spartak Moscow as a sports director, and then as a head coach. Despite a series of victories, Spartak fans did not like him: many believed that he had “sat down” the popular coach Vladimir Fedotov. The end of Cherchesov's career at Spartak was dramatic. First, the lost championship in 2007 against Zenit. Then the defeat in July 2008 in the match with CSKA. After this game, Cherchesov expelled the team leaders Yegor Titov and Maxim Kalinichenko from the club. The last straw for the management of "Spartak" was a 1: 4 loss in Moscow to Kiev "Dynamo" in the Champions League qualification. Cherchesov was dismissed

After leaving Spartak and participating in the quickly bursting project to create a football club for Olympic Sochi Cherchesov restarted his coaching career in Grozny. In 2011, he became the head of the local Terek. The team showed nice results: In autumn 2012 she defeated Zenit and topped the Russian championship table. However, it was not possible to achieve global success, and the main fan of Terek, Ramzan Kadyrov, lost interest in the coach. In 2013, Cherchesov was dismissed. “I didn’t like that he didn’t allow Russian footballers to play and develop,” Kadyrov explained.

Another high-profile scandal in Cherchesov’s career took place at Dynamo Moscow. In March 2015, after losing the match against Zenit, the coach had a conflict with the club's main star, midfielder Igor Denisov. According to the midfielder, in the locker room he expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that Cherchesov did not include Artur Yusupov in the match, to which the coach, according to Denisov, replied: “I'm not Spalletti for you (the former Zenit coach, with whom Denisov also had conflict .- RBK), I'll put you in your place quickly. Let's go to the shower - I'll break your neck there. " After this episode, the player lost his place in Dynamo, he was not called up to the national team under Cherchesov. The absence in the national team of Igor Denisov, who won the championship with Lokomotiv, was one of the main complaints of Cherchesov's critics before the start of the world championship. The coach does not comment on the episode in the locker room

Success as a coach came to Cherchesov in Poland, where he headed the Warsaw Legia in 2015. In a single season under the guidance of a Russian coach, the club won the title of the champion of the country and won the national cup. However, after the end of the season, Cherchesov had disagreements with the owners of the team: they refused to strengthen the composition, and the coach resigned.

After the failure of the Russian national team at Euro 2016 and the dismissal of head coach Leonid Slutsky, the head of the RFU Vitaly Mutko began looking for a new coach for the team, who was supposed to prepare it for the 2018 World Cup matches. Stanislav Cherchesov was considered only as "plan B". The main candidate for the role of head coach was Kurban Berdyev (pictured), known for his work with Kazan Rubin and Rostov. But Berdyev was negotiating with Moscow "Spartak", and the choice was made in favor of Cherchesov

Stanislav Cherchesov and Artem Dzyuba

Stanislav Cherchesov's coaching career was not easy and was filled with conflicts, scandals and setbacks. But it was Cherchesov who first brought the Russian national team to the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup

Head coach of the football club "Spartak" (Moscow) since June 2007. Head coach of Dynamo since 2014.

Stanislav Salamovich Cherchesov was born on September 2, 1963 in the city of Alagir (North Ossetia, at that time - the North Ossetian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic). He started playing football at the children's school of the local club "Spartak". The first professional club of the goalkeeper was "Spartak" from Vladikavkaz (then - Ordzhonikidze), where he played in 1982 and 1983,.

In 1984, Cherchesov moved to Moscow "Spartak", for which he played for a total of about ten years (1984 - 1987, 1989 - July 1993, August 1995 - December 1995, August 2002 - December 2002). In 1987 he became the champion of the USSR (although he played only two matches), but spent the 1988 season in the Moscow Lokomotiv. In 1989, the footballer returned to "Spartak" and again won the championship of the Soviet Union, being already the main goalkeeper of the club.

In 1992, Cherchesov won the USSR / CIS Cup, as well as the first Russian championship. Before going abroad, the goalkeeper three times (in 1989, 1990 and 1992) received the prize of the magazine "Ogonyok" as the best goalkeeper in the country. In European competition Cherchesov reached the Champions Cup semi-finals (1990/91) and the Cup Winners' Cup semi-finals (1992/93) with Spartak.

In July 1993, the goalkeeper moved to Dynamo Dresden. In the Russian championship - 1993, he played enough matches to be considered the winner of the championship as part of "Spartak". In the German "Dynamo" Cherchesov played until July 1995.

In 1996, the goalkeeper signed a contract with the Austrian "Tyrol", for which he played until July 2002. During this time, Cherchesov became the champion of Austria three times (in 2000, 2001 and 2002). At the end of the 2001/02 season, "Tyrol" due to financial difficulties was transferred to the third division. In August 2002, Cherchesov returned to Spartak and at the end of the year ended his football career. In total, the goalkeeper spent 200 matches for the Moscow club, in which he conceded 160 goals,,.

The goalkeeper made his debut in the national team in 1989. In total, he played 53 games for the national teams of the USSR, CIS and Russia.

CHERCHESOV BECAME CHIEF COACH OF THE AUSTRIAN CLUB

Boris TOSUNYAN, own correspondent of the "Sport-Express" newspaper in Austria

Stanislav Cherchesov has been appointed head coach of the popular Tyrolean club Kufstafn, which is now fifth in the Austrian regional league.

This work for today suits me perfectly, - the former goalkeeper of the Russian national team, who until recently was an employee of the club of the second Austrian division "Wacker-Tyrol", told the SE correspondent Boris TOSUNYAN. - The fact is that I continue my studies at the local coaching academy, and practice, of course, will not hurt me. And my house, which is important, is close - 40 minutes away.

Cherchesov has already held one training session with the new players and was pleased with the team.

Everyone has their own "Dresden period"

Stanislav, did you yourself expect a trip to Japan?

Well, perhaps as a tourist, - smiles Cherchesov. - After our team lost a friendly match to Israel (1: 4) in the winter of 2000, as I thought, they gave up on me. In that game (I don't even want to remember it) I stood at the gate, and, to put it mildly, did not help out. So they stopped inviting me. For more than two years, no one from the national team called. And suddenly, a month before the World Cup - a call. Frankly, it was nice.

Do you know whom the journalists advised Romantsev to take instead of you?

Heard. Seryoga Ovchinnikov. So what?

Well, nothing ...

I don't know what happened to his coaches there. This is none of my business. I was called - I am ready to play. If necessary, I will help Ruslan Nigmatullin with advice. He is now number one in the national team. And, in my opinion, quite, deservedly.

During the carve-up, you got N 12, and Sasha Filimonov got N 23. It turns out that Filimonov, until recently the main goalkeeper of the national team, was in a dead reserve?

I do not know. Here, at the World Championship, both me and Sasha were included in the application for each match. Any of us, if necessary, could replace Ruslan.

Invincible like a tank

Nigmatullin once said that in childhood you were an idol for him. What is the attitude of the young goalkeeper of the Italian “Verona” (which flew out of the top division) now to the experienced goalkeeper of the Austrian “Tyrol”, who became the champion of the country? Respect? Or is Ruslana slightly skidding?

Until he noticed that he was skidding. In May, Ruslan and I trained together for several days at the Spartak base in Tarasovka. Then the Russian championship was still going on and the Bor base was closed to us. And Romantsev, from old memory, invited both of us to Tarasovka. We often talked with Ruslan, we traveled together in Moscow - in his car. In Moscow, in principle, I don’t get behind the wheel. After the quiet and deserted Innsbruck, driving around our capital makes me allergic. And Ruslan does not twitch, drives calmly. It is generally difficult to unbalance him.

Is it easy for you?

Me? Impossible in principle! I am invulnerable, like a tank, - jokes Cherchesov.

Seriously?

There was one story here that touched my heart. Due to a serious injury, I spent a whole year outside football. I had to go for an operation. When the operation was over, he asked the surgeon: "Doctor, will I play?" He replied: "It is unlikely. Usually after such injuries in football do not return." It's good that he said so. I decided to return to spite him. But in my club "Tyrol", apparently, they have already consulted with a doctor and decided: to replace the legionnaire from Russia, we need to take another goalkeeper. I felt that I immediately became unnecessary. When I was asked to enter the field with an unhealed injury, even before the operation, the coach said: "Stas, help, we need you." And I got up at the gate. And he helped “Tyrol” to win. This went on for six months. But it could no longer be tolerated. My health is one. And after the operation I was written off.

How did you manage to get back to the Tyrol goal?

He gritted his teeth and began to train again. At some point, I felt that the pain was receding, I conquered it. I can say without false modesty that when this spring we became champions of Austria for the third time in a row, 16 thousand Tyrol fans gave the team a standing ovation and I heard them chanting my name.

But then what happened? Why is Tyrol suddenly declared bankrupt? Will he be expelled from the Bundesliga?

It looks like it. The situation is very serious. We won the "gold", but over the past two months, money has not been given to any of the players. Salaries have been periodically delayed in the past. But we all hoped: it will settle down. And suddenly, already in Japan, I find out that the general director of the club has been arrested - he is accused of fraud. There are suspicions that he squandered large sums of money belonging to "Tyrol". This is what the Austrian press writes.

But worst of all, the leadership of the federation decided to transfer “Tyrol” to the lower league and take away his professional license. Because the financial situation in our club is awful. True, “Tyrol” appealed the decision of the leadership of the federation, but ... I don’t know how it will all end.

When does your contract with Tyrol expire?

In a year. After that I was offered a job in the administration of the club. And now ... Maybe I will have to look for myself new club... It's a pity.

I don't see my wife on her birthday

Stanislav, in one of your interviews you said about yourself like this: "I am a bad husband, a bad son and a bad father." But surely there is something good about you.

And don't get your hopes up. Bad me. Here's a concrete example. My birthday is September 2, and my wife, Alla, is on the 4th. What would an ordinary family do in this case? That's right, I would celebrate three days in a row. But because of football, Alla and I have never had this. Either on her birthday, then on mine they will definitely appoint some kind of match - on the road. I rarely see my children. And my daughter is already 11 years old, she spits like that in German - almost without an accent. But with the Russian language, that of Madina, that of 8-year-old Stasik, it is a problem. My wife and I force them to speak Russian at home, but as soon as they run out into the street, there is solid German speech. And so for six years.

Not going to return to Russia?

Wait and see. So far, I have not received specific proposals for employment in Russia.

Stas, to be honest, did you like the quality of our team's performance at the World Championship?

To be brief: the quality is poor. But believe me, even in the lost match with the Japanese, all the guys gave their best to the end. I saw plenty of bruises and bumps in the locker room. Few goals, you say, have been scored? It depends with what to compare: the vaunted French, whom everyone looked up to, went home without a single goal at all. We at least beat Tunisia, but who are they? That's it.

And there was also a case

Stanislav Cherchesov hardly drinks. The sports regime is observed sacredly. But he treats guests at home, as expected, with a drink. Once a close relative came to him in Austria. Stas, of course, ran to the store. I bought all kinds of food and a bottle of red wine. It was only on the way home that he calculated that the seller in the store seemed to have taken too much from him. It turned out that a bottle of wine cost $ 74! The teetotaler Cherchesov could not stand it - he tried this wine. Good, he noted to himself, but he doesn't make $ 74.

SPARTAK HAS CHERCHESOV. IT MEANS, NOT EVERYTHING IS LOST

Konstantin KLESCHEV

For 90 minutes of the match Lokomotiv - Spartak, Yegor Titov, Vladimir Beschastnykh and Yuri Kovtun became the captains of the red and whites in turn.

The first was injured again, the second was replaced, and only the third finished the meeting to the end and even used power, separating Sergei Ovchinnikov and Kebe, who were eager to sort things out. All three are high-class players, and it is no coincidence that Dmitry Loskov, in the captains' pre-match questionnaire, said that they are the ones who determine Spartak's game today. But Loskov forgot to name another surname, which, among yesterday's captains, could well have come first - Cherchesov.

The return of the popular Spartak goalkeeper from abroad to Russia was perceived by many as something to hide, a curiosity. They say that 38-year-old Cherchesov became so sentimental that he decided to end his career at the club that gave him fame. The goalkeeper's statements that he was in excellent physical condition and ready to play at the highest level were also partly skeptical. And besides, until recently it seemed that Cherchesov was unlikely to withstand the competition with the undoubtedly talented Maxim Levitsky.

However, today it is obvious that it is too early for the former legionnaire to think about retirement. And if we assume that age is not the number of years, but the attitude towards life (in this case, towards the game), then Cherchesov will give odds to many young people. Moreover, the current “Spartak” is largely based on Cherchesov, and yesterday's match is a confirmation of this. The goalkeeper's experience and composure are like strong threads, pulling together the sometimes spreading flaps of Spartak's defense. I can only guess what thoughts come to Cherchesov's mind when his partners make unforgivable blunders or when, like yesterday, four attacking opponents come out on two defenders.

But outwardly, the goalkeeper is unperturbed. And in his actions, nervousness does not appear, betraying doubts about partners or lack of confidence in his own strengths. Sergei Ovchinnikov is also an excellent goalkeeper, but, you see, not a rock. And in the meeting with “Spartak” there were several episodes when, instead of catching a relatively easy ball for a player of his level, he preferred to beat it off with his fists. And the goal is on the conscience of the Lokomotiv goalkeeper.

But back to Cherchesov. It seems to me that he has a special role to play in the ending of this season. But not so much in the Champions League, where the second place in the group would be the fulfillment of the hopes of the president of “Spartak” Andrei Chervichenko, as in the championship, where the red and white in the last two rounds will meet with CSKA and “Torpedo”. In my opinion, Cherchesov, who is as ambitious today as in his younger years, is not at all satisfied with the current level of preparedness of the team, unexpectedly left without their leaders. But he knows very well that the attitude that “Spartak” showed yesterday in the second half of the match against “Loko” compensates for the shortcomings. It was thanks to the utmost dedication that the Russian champion managed to close the seemingly insurmountable gap with Lokomotiv and CSKA in the second round. And although yesterday “Spartak” was content with a draw, I think no one has forgotten how the red and white are able to end the season.

Since returning to Russia, Cherchesov has played only five matches for Spartak. Yesterday marks exactly one month since his appearance on the field in the second half of the meeting with “Sokol”. But it seems that Cherchesov did not leave anywhere - he looks so organically at the gates of the champion of Russia. And although others wear the captain's armband, it seems to me that it is thanks to Cherchesov that Spartak remains itself today.

About Stanislav

For STANISLAV CHERCHESOV, who was born and raised in the Caucasus, in my opinion, the place where he now lives is very suitable. I tracked down the famous Russian goalkeeper in the suburbs of Innsbruck, and his mansion is nestled right at the foot of a steep alpine mountain. So the landscape that opens from the windows of the villa, in theory, should remind Stanislav of his distant homeland, the fate of which worries him now more than ever. The tragedy in North Ossetia also affected his family: three relatives were held hostage by terrorists at the Beslan school, but, fortunately, survived. "The main thing is that now the situation in this region does not escalate, that there is no revenge that could" blow up "the entire Caucasus," Stanislav says.

A HOUSE near Innsbruck also rented a Tyrol for him, the colors of which the Russian had defended for many years. The club, however, unfortunately, managed to go bankrupt, but Cherchesov, who decided to extend his stay in the Alpine republic, took on considerable expenses for the maintenance of housing on himself, although he had to tighten his belts tighter. It was a difficult time morally as well. Together with the rest of his teammates from the collapsed team, he began a lawsuit against his former employers - the leaders of Tyrol, some of whom ended up in prison. It turned out that they had pocketed the money owed to the players and, naturally, did not want to return it. The lawsuit has been going on for the second year. “I come after the World Cup from Japan, and all the doors in the club office are closed,” Cherchesov recalls. “I already knew what was in store for me, but I still did not expect to see such a sad picture.”

Goalkeeper Superman

WHEN Cherchesov came to Tyrol, the club was also, one might say, on the verge of bankruptcy. The team had only 15 players, and in the national championship it was in eighth place with ten participants. But then Tyrol managed to survive - largely thanks to the Russian goalkeeper, who did his job brilliantly. That season, after a long break, the team got into the UEFA Cup, then played in this tournament again, then became the champion of Austria three times, beat Fiorentina and Stuttgart in the international arena. For some time, he took the team to matches with a captain's armband, although cases when a legionnaire is entrusted with the role of captain are very, very rare.

A little later, a story happened that made the Tyrol fans respect Cherchesov even more. After a serious injury, he returned to duty and continued to play as if there was no one and a half year break. For this he was nominated for the title "Return of the Season", which is traditionally awarded at the end of the Austrian Championship.

Stanislav Cherchesov is a cult figure for the Austrians. When he was still playing in the Austrian Bundesliga, the fans bringing posters to the stadium portrayed him in Superman robes, and the local television coverage of the league matches began with a cutscene where our goalkeeper took a seemingly unbeatable ball in a beautiful throw. The Russian legionnaire was even given the right to lay the first stone in the Tivoli stadium, which will host a number of European Championship matches in 2008.

Tarhunovaya vodka for Maradona

DURING THE TIME that has passed since the inglorious death of Tyrol, Cherchesov, who has always been an exceptionally disciplined person, has managed to do a lot: he made a training film for goalkeepers, where the main roles were played by goalkeepers from different European countries. After graduating with honors from the Austrian coaching academy, Stanislav received a license and became the head of the regional league club "Kufstein". The first success of the new head coach was that he managed to bring his players to the final of the Regional Cup. “It’s hard at Kufstein: the club is poor, and there is no opportunity to buy new players, sometimes you don’t know who to include in the application for a match, we have so little choice,” says Stanislav. - Nevertheless, this is still a good school for a beginner in coaching: you know, there are enough ill-wishers, but I learned to defend my ideas. On the other hand, it's still good that I started working as a coach in a third-rate team, since the mistakes you make are not so visible, you can learn from them. I can imagine what would have happened to me if I had some eminent club under my leadership. Probably, they would have been fired a long time ago.

Penalty from Beckenbauer

Stanislav Cherchesov has a rich photo archive in the HOUSE. In the pictures, the head of the sports family (the son is also preparing to become a goalkeeper) is captured next to the stars of the first magnitude. For example, with Diego Maradona. “Once he scored to me masterfully. After that match, I presented the genius Argentine with a decanter of Ossetian tarragon vodka. The guys later joked that this souvenir had ruined Maradona, hinting at his sensational antics about the "drunken shop". The shot with Franz Beckenbauer, of course, also has its own funny story. “Several years ago the Bayern president phoned me in Innsbruck. “Neighbor,” he says, “I can say that I live two steps away from you, but we have never met.” As it turned out later, the Kaiser (as Beckenbauer is called in professional circles) needed me for one important business. The inhabitants of the Austrian village, where Beckenbauer has lived for many years on the street with the symbolic name of Kaiserweg, found themselves in a difficult situation. For some reason, the flow of tourists to these parts was sharply reduced, and fellow villagers asked Beckenbauer for help. Well, he decided to use the Russian legionnaire in the advertising campaign. I don't know if it led to a revival of the local tourism business, but I tried my best - I managed to take almost all the penalties that Beckenbauer shot me. This unusual performance took place in his garden. When it was over, I asked sarcastically: how did he manage to become the world champion with such a game? Beckenbauer turned out to be a man with humor - he laughed heartily. "

Everyone has their own "Dresden period"

CHERCHESOV is familiar, of course, with Matthias Sammer (European Champion-96), with whom he played for the same club - Dynamo Dresden. So a couple of years ago, Sammer, the 90s world champion who became the coach of Borussia Dortmund, invited his former partner to Dresden for a so-called meeting of memories. And my colleagues on the ball had something to remember. For example, as Cherchesov in 1992 flew to training camps on an airplane belonging to a military unit stationed in these parts. “The then-coach of the national team Pavel Sadyrin arranged for me to get on the military plane - he, who was connected with CSKA, had many acquaintances in the Air Force. I had to go to the inconvenience - on a regular flight I would have arrived two days later and did not have time to prepare for the match, ”says Cherchesov.

The Dresden period ended, alas, not in the most joyful way: the German club lost its license for debts. I had to urgently look for a new place.

“If Tyrol’s license was taken away immediately, without endless delays, you see, then I would also quickly find myself another club, and not go to the courts now. However, on the other hand, I have now become, one might say, a major expert in legal matters. "

Stanislav Cherchesov: “There is a lot of negativity around the team. Victory in Austria can remove him. "

On the eve of the Vienna match, the SE columnist interviewed the chief specialist in Austrian football in Russia.

The life of the Dynamo head coach has long been closely linked with Austria. In our old conversation for the book "Spartak Confessions", he recalled how he came there for negotiations with the leadership of "Tyrol" in the winter of 1996: "I stepped off the ladder, breathed in the purest Tyrolean air, saw the Alps, snow sparkling under the sun ... And then I decided: I will not leave here if they confirm everything that they said in words. Confirmed. "

With Tyrol, Cherchesov became the champion of Austria three times, graduated from the school of coaches and began his career in a new profession - first in Kuffstein, then again in Tyrol, from where he left for Spartak in 2006, first as a sports director.

Nevertheless, he does not lose ties with the Alpine country - he has a house there. On the eve of the match between the national teams of Austria and Russia, we talked with Cherchesov about a country that is not alien to him, and about its football, and about both national teams - participants in the upcoming match.

ALABA AS A PERSONALITY OF AUSTRIA WILL NOT BE ENOUGH

Let's start a conversation with the Austrian national team. Recently, she played only at home Euro-2008, where she did not leave the group. Can we say that now the strongest generation has grown up in many years?

I don’t want to offend these players, but I cannot call this generation talented. This is not Prokhazka, Schachner and Polster. And, let's say, not the current national team of Belgium. Talent is Alaba, who will not play due to injury. And so this is a mobile, football-educated team. Recently, in Austria, a lot of attention has been paid to youth, children's academies and boarding schools, as a result of which the youth teams are in good standing. In this they took an example from the Swiss.

The undoubted advantage of this generation is that only one or two of its players play in the Austrian league. Right before talking to you, I watched the game between Bayer Leverkusen and Mainz, as Baumgartlinger plays in the latter. Many players are in the first German Bundesliga and other top divisions. Playing at a high level every week is a great help for them.

Samedov said: "The absence of Alaba is a problem for the Austrians, but not as big as many think." He is right?

To be honest, lately I haven't seen the game of Austria without Alaba. I think that the Austrians themselves do not fully understand what they will have without him. The Bavarian is a versatile footballer, he is able to play both left-back and central midfielder positions - in this position he often plays for the national team.

In addition, there is a football player of a certain class, and there is a personality. So, the personality of Alaba, I think, will be missed by the Austrians on the field, and the Russians should take advantage of this.

The Russian national team is generally lucky in this qualifying tournament: Sweden without Ibrahimovic, Austria without Alaba - the clear leaders of our two main rivals.

To some extent, yes. Another thing is that this should be used. In Sweden, it did not work out to the end. In Austria, I think, there will be a full stadium with good acoustics, which will fiercely root for its own people. Therefore, it is necessary to properly prepare and play at the maximum. Nobody will give us anything. The main thing is to correctly place accents and play to win. Our team needs it.

The game in Vienna is very important from the point of view not only of the table, but also of psychology. Recently, there has been a lot of negativity around the national team, which can be removed with one game.

Polster named Yunuzovich from Werder Bremen the leader of the team along with Alaba. Who is this player?

He stood out great when he just started playing very young in Graz. It is no coincidence that this creative attacking midfielder plays a leading role in Werder Bremen. An out-of-the-box footballer who can tackle any episode. But, I repeat, this is not a European and world-class star, but just a good footballer who plays an important role in the team's game system.

Do you know the head coach, Swiss Marcel Koller?

Personally, no. But with his arrival, the team changed - in terms of a systematic approach to the game, selection. And the situation around the team has become more comfortable, I suppose.

Who do you think is the favorite of the match and why?

There is no favorite in this game. The Russian team is in itself a superior class. But Austria is playing at home, will give it as much as possible - and this evens out the situation.

KOKORIN IS IN TONUS

Do you agree with the assessments of journalists that Kokorin is now in very good shape and that the match with CSKA, in which he not only scored, but also plowed for defense with the captain's armband, confirmed this?

There are nuances related to how exactly Fabio Capello will use it. So, in Sweden he played not on the edge, but under Dziuba. I think in the position where we use it, it feels a bit more comfortable. Although Kokorin is a versatile footballer. Nevertheless, the head coach of the national team, in any case, studies the opponent more thoroughly than I do, he will choose the tactics that are necessary and give Kokorin the role in which he will be of the greatest benefit.

After the injury, which Alexander received in the match with the Swedish national team, literally in the last couple of games he returned to the same level. Having received a blow on the head then, he missed several days, and this could not but affect. It is no coincidence that in subsequent matches I changed the striker in the last 20 minutes, so as to keep him, as they say.

Did the captain's bandage affect Kokorin? Self-giving, such an impression, he had more.

And before that, there was never any indifference on his part in the game. This footballer loves to play and knows how. Another thing is that now he is in the tone that allows him to carry out a certain rough work. It is clear that the bandage also imposes responsibility. Yes, young people and young people are for it to make some mistakes, and we corrected them. But she also needs to be trusted. At 23, you have to knock on all possible doors.

Who, in your opinion, is the best candidate for captaincy in the national team - Vasily Berezutsky or Shirokov, who returned to duty?

I would not like to speak on this topic. Capello is a very experienced coach and he will make a decision that he thinks is right.

How long was the first captain of the Capello-era team Denisov out of action after the match with CSKA?

Both yesterday and today the doctor and I discussed some things. There are questions about the diagnosis. We are waiting, consulting, and so far we cannot say for sure how long it will take to recover. I hope that the injury will not be difficult. And the fact that he finished the game against CSKA with an injury speaks again about how he and other players wanted to win the match, about the spirit of the team that day. The victory is completely their merit! I asked him: "Are you ready to play?" He answered without a doubt: "Yes, I'll finish it."

You were the first captain of the Russian national team. Did you understand that you are entering history when you took her to match No. 1 - a friendly match in Moscow with Mexico in the summer of 1992?

When you get ready to play, you don’t think about such things. I am glad that luck was on our side and at the good old stadium Lokomotiv we won against a very good opponent - 2: 0. Today I understand that this is history, but then I was just doing my duty.

Were you then elected captain or did Pavel Sadyrin appointed them?

The coaching staff called me and entrusted me with the bandage.

Why did she go to Viktor Onopko in 93?

I also talked about this to the coaches when they appointed me. In the game there are controversial points when the captain needs to be around somewhere. Approach the judge, discuss something. Both then and now I am convinced that the presence or absence of a bandage will not change my place in the team's hierarchy. But often I cannot be in the thick of things. Victor has been a worthy captain for a very long time, and I'm only glad that I passed the bandage over to him.

Nevertheless, many goalkeepers, including those in the Premier League, wear an armband.

I'm not saying that this is bad, I just convey my own feelings. He never shied away from responsibility.

Are the captain then and now different roles?

In clubs, yes. In that Spartak, where I played, everyone spoke Russian, and now half of any team are foreigners. Therefore, the captain must know languages, understand different mentalities - in general, be a more sociable person than was required before. In the national team, in fact, there is no difference.

ALREADY LOVED SKIING AFTER THE PLAYER'S CAREER

With Austria, you can say, love at first sight?

I also visited Innsbruck and other Austrian cities before moving to Tyrol - we played mini-football tournaments there. Therefore, as I flew there, I immediately felt at ease and realized that I would be comfortable there.

Never once asked the question: "Why did I come here?"

No. It is clear that in sports there are different things, including defeats. But why I came there happened: we became champions three times. Therefore, the time spent in Innsbruck played an important role in my career. Other language, culture, mentality - all of this, of course, broadened my horizons. Finally, it was there that he studied the art of coaching and led the first team of the elite division in his life. So everything is only a plus!

Why didn't you go to Austria for a day or two during the current pause for the national teams' matches?

Because there are important organizational issues. The winter break in the championship is coming soon, and it needs to be clearly planned. You found me at the base, was here yesterday. We have four days off, two of which I spent from morning to evening in Novogorsk. While the players are resting, our task is to perfectly prepare everything. I don't like spontaneous things, I like consistency.

Do you often manage to go to Austria now?

In the last eight months - once. As usual, I'll go on New Year's, and celebrate the holiday there.

Does your family spend most of their time in the Alps or in Moscow?

My daughter studies there, at the university. And the wife and son are here.

Having lived a month during Euro-2008 in Leogang, I will never forget the warmth, hospitality and, in a good sense, simplicity of the Austrians - starting with the owners of the hotel, who, for example, took us to the railway station themselves. Are all the people in Austria so welcoming?

If you accepted it like that, it means that positive energy comes from you (laughs). Bad people are not welcomed like that. And there really is hospitality. Tyrol, mountains ... I think this is a very good country, in which I see only advantages. Moreover, the Alps remind me of my native Alagir.

Do you ski well?

As a player, I did not do this, moreover, the contract contained a ban on extreme sports. And in general - I did not like it. Because I haven't tried it (smiles). And he tried it after the end of his playing career - and immediately fell in love.

I have a ski slope next to my house, one minute away. But it is rarely possible to get out. Imagine, when I worked with Zhemchuzhina in Sochi, I lived on the Black Sea coast for eight months and - I’m speaking as if in good spirits - didn’t even dip my finger. It turns out interestingly: we live far away - we dream of the sea. We find ourselves nearby - we don't even go in. It's the same here: here it is, the mountain! But sometimes there is no time, and more often - a good company. And to ski, you need it.

Vienna is a fantastically beautiful city with its own soul. Do you have any favorite places there?

Recently, by the way, my wife and I were there. A really beautiful city. I won't say about such favorite places, but the fact that in Europe there is little that can be compared with Vienna is true.

Does Vienna have an opponent in Austria who thinks that it is unfairly deprived of the title of the capital - like St. Petersburg in Russia?

I think Vienna in Austria is a special city.

IN MY TIME TOP CLUBS IN AUSTRIA PAYED MORE THAN GERMAN MIDDLES

In general, can the country be called football? And when were you a goalkeeper and now?

I say it as it is. There were other times when the best European footballer Oleg Blokhin could play in Austria, when the continental champion in the FRG national team Hansi Müller played with us in Innsbruck, when the world champion Argentine forward Mario Kempes played in the country ... And the Austrians themselves had a top national team - Herbert Prochazka, Tony Polster, Walter Schachner, with whom, by the way, I had a chance to play at Tyrol.

There was a really strong league. Then the financial opportunities were almost on a par with the leading leagues in Europe. In Spain, for example, they paid more, but only slightly. The average clubs in the German Bundesliga paid less than the leading clubs in the Austrian! It is now such a gap, but even in my time there were better quality footballers than they are now. And in the last decade, the Austrian league has completely surrendered.

The last time you, as a player, won the Austrian Championship, led by Joachim Loew, for whom that league title was the first in his career. How did he get there?

You need to ask him this (smiles). Some time before that he worked at Stuttgart, where he won the German Cup. Our coach left for Hamburg, and Lev was invited to take his place. We had a task to become the champions of Austria for the third time in a row, and we fulfilled it. I am glad that after that his career is developing so successfully.

As a 39-year-old footballer who is only three years younger than him, did he consult with you on any issues?

This was not the case, we had a relationship between a coach and a player. But that "Tyrol" had a powerful backbone of six or seven experienced players, almost all of whom are now either the head coach or the sports director. This backbone became a serious help to Lev.

Looking at Loew's story, don't you think that starting a coaching career in Austria is a good omen?

Still, before "Tyrol" he already had the German Bundesliga, "Stuttgart", the German Cup. So everyone has their own destiny. I started there and don't regret it at all. From the beginning to the end of the coaching courses at various levels, I took four years. It is clear that not every day, but there was a lot of practice, so that you were given recommendations for moving to the next level. The demands were high, and it was necessary to strain.

Although, of course, none of the courses will explain everything to you. Every team has operational questions, which intuition will help you to solve - whether it is there or not. But basic knowledge, be it physiology, biomechanics and much more, in Austria gives serious.

How stormy and impressive were Tyrol's championships celebrated in the city?

Before the first championship "Tyrol" did not become the first for many years (from 1990 to 2000 - Approx. "SE"). Therefore, the first celebration was impressive. The second is less. And the third even surpassed the first! Because no one expected a third title in a row from us: the whole season the club, which was in a dying state, could not pay for our contracts. We played anyway and, getting almost nothing, became champions.

The people appreciated it. I remember the podium on Maria Teresa Strasse, where the artists performed, the balcony where we were presented with the champion salad bowl. There were a lot of people and we gave Tyrol a lot of joy. It was short-lived because the club was soon declared bankrupt. That "Tyrol", with which we became champions, no longer exists. It was renamed, but that's a completely different story.

I have known the Cherchesov family for a long time and I want to add to the statements given above.

Stanislav grew up in a surprisingly friendly, large family.

His father, Salam Cherchesov, is a respected person in the whole district of strict traditional concepts. Stanislav's sisters and he himself have absorbed this farn of the elders since childhood. They know what honor, dignity, decency are. I can say with full responsibility that Stanislav Cherchesov is one of the most worthy sons of his people, always remembering where his roots are.

Stanislav Cherchesov is a famous goalkeeper and coach. Cherchesov was part of the pride of the famous "Spartak", having established himself in this club with his reliable game.

He was invited by European clubs, and there he also excelled. He returned to Russia and, after finishing his career here, became a very successful coach.

Football player career

In 1981-1984 he played for Spartak (Ordzhonikidze). In 1984 he moved to Moscow "Spartak", where he was Rinat Dasaev's understudy. Although in the first training games Cherchesov performed unsuccessfully and missed a lot, nevertheless the head coach of Spartak Konstantin Beskov saw talent in him and left him in the team. Cherchesov rarely appeared at the Spartak goal in official matches, and when he did enter the field, he did not always act successfully. Cherchesov himself called the loss to Zalgiris in the USSR Championship in 1987 with a score of 2: 5 as one of the most memorable matches, where he became the culprit for almost all goals against Muscovites.

In 1988 he moved to Moscow Lokomotiv to get practice. Yuri Semin agreed to sign a goalkeeper only for a year. Cherchesov played an excellent season, after which he agreed with Beskov to return to the camp of the “red-whites”. A few days later, Beskov was removed from office, and two new goalkeepers were invited to the team. But Cherchesov won the competition and became the main goalkeeper of the team.

In 1993 he signed a contract with the Bundesliga club Dynamo (Dresden). As Cherchesov himself admitted, performances in the Bundesliga, in a club that is struggling to survive, helped him hone his professional goalkeeper's handwriting - instant decision-making, minimization of mistakes. In the 1994/95 season, Cherchesov's understudy at Dynamo was the later famous Australian goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer.

After Dynamo left the top division, Cherchesov was loaned to Spartak until December to play in the Champions League of the 1995/96 season with the aim of further selling the goalkeeper. Stanislav successfully performed in European competitions and in the winter of 1996 he was bought by the Austrian "Tyrol". Stanislav played for Tyrol for 6 years (1996-2002), was the main goalkeeper of the team. After Tyrol ceased to exist, Cherchesov returned to Spartak, where he soon ended his career.

Stanislav Cherchesov as a coach

Stanislav Salamovich's coaching career began in 2004. The Russian specialist headed the Kufstein club, which played in the third league of Austria. During the work, we managed to achieve certain successes, and stronger clubs drew attention to the coach. At the end of 2004, the club "Wacker-Tyrol", which became the successor of the bankrupt "Tyrol", invited Stanislav to lead the team. The coach did not refuse. He worked with the club for two years and was eventually fired.

Stanislav's next stop was Moscow. Here Stanislav found work in his native Spartak. He came to the post of sports director, but after the resignation of Vladmir Fedotov, he became the head coach of the team. Under coach Cherchesov, Spartak won the silver medal in 2007. His arrival was also remembered by football fans as a serious conflict with the legends of the club Yegor Titov and Maxim Kalinichenko.

Fans of the red and white still cannot forgive the coach for the decision, they will get rid of two players. After "Spartak" there was Sochi "Pearl" (an extensive political project before the 2014 Olympics), Grozny "Terek" and "Amkar." Having achieved some success and the location of the right people, Cherchesov became the head coach of Dynamo. Dynamo is worth telling in more detail.

It was spring 2014, the championship was coming to an end. The sporting director of the blue and white was Guram Ajoev, an old friend of Stanislav, who was in charge of him at Spartak. The blue and white claimed the bronze medals of the championship. The team was led to victories by Dan Petrescu. A strange defeat in Makhachkala 0-4, the club is still claiming medals, but the chances are slim. And then resignation. Cherchesov took the place of Petrescu.

The situation seemed strange to many fans of the capital club. At the end of the season, Dynamo entered the European competition, but the club never won bronze. Boris Rotenberg, being the president of the club, gives loans to Dynamo and buys star players. Loans after the departure of managers will echo in the life of the team for a long time to come. An ambitious team enters the new season, the decoration is the Frenchman Mathieu Valbuena. One of the best footballers ever to play in our championship.

The team finishes the first round well, is among the leaders of the championship. In the Europa League, Dynamo are confidently emerging from the difficult group. Everyone is happy. But strange things happen in the club - conflicts. Players who were leaders yesterday, under Petrescu, go to other clubs for free. The president’s son Boris Rotenberg begins to join the squad, his game causes hysterical laughter among the fans of the blue and white.

Cherchesov's son Stanislav plays in the Dynamo double. There is also a place for the son of the sports director Guram Adjoev. The team, torn by internal conflicts, fails the spring part of the season. But the place that the club has taken allows it to play in the Europa League. Check from UEFA, and disqualification, the club did not pass the financial fair play. In the summer, Stanislav Cherchesov, along with Boris Rotenberg and Guram Ajoev, leave the club. For the dads, young "talented" sons - football players - also leave.

Cherchesov did not sit without work for a long time, and already in October 2015 he headed the Polish Legia. Together with the team, the coach won the Championship and the Cup of the country. The coach's pride leaped up, intoxicated by success, he set conditions for the transfer policy leadership. Legia refused and the contract was canceled.

Personal life of Stanislav Cherchesov

Very little is known about the private life of the coach of the Russian national football team. Stanislav Cherchesov's wife, Alla, is an English teacher. Their family has existed for more than twenty-five years, and for a quarter of a century of living together, the Cherchesovs raised and raised two children - a daughter and a son.

In the photo - the family of Stanislav Cherchesov

When Madina's daughter was very young, Stanislav Salamovich signed a contract with the German Dynamo and moved his family to Germany. Stanislav Cherchesov Jr. was born in 1994, and two years later his father was bought by the Austrian club Tyrol, and the Cherchesov family settled in Austria for six years.

Stanislav Salamovich with children

Over the years spent at Tyrol, Stanislav Salamovich became the leader of the club and an honorary resident of the Austrian city of Tyrol. All this provided him with a good material existence - Cherchesov acquired his own house, in which his family settled.

Stanislav Salamovich's wife, who devoted herself to raising children, applied her pedagogical knowledge in this difficult matter - Madina and Stanislav speak not only Russian and Ossetian, but also English, German, Italian and French.

Madina graduated from an Austrian university, and her son decided, like his father, to become a football goalkeeper. Stanislav Cherchesov Jr. began his career in the Austrian "Vaker", and then moved to the Russian "Amkar", in which his father worked at that time. Then Stanislav played for Dynamo Moscow, and is currently defending the goal of Chornomorets.

In the photo - Stanislav Cherchesov Jr.

They say about the character of the coach of our national football team that in training he is always restrained and calm, does not raise his voice, and if he gets angry, then, on the contrary, begins to speak quietly. Probably, in his personal life Stanislav Salamovich remains the same, therefore, there are never high-profile scandals in his family.

Goalkeeper: Stanislav Cherchesov Jr.

Club: Dynamo (Moscow)

The son of the helmsman of the national team did not really have time to play yet, but at the dawn of his career he got into an unpleasant story. In 2013, Amkar, where Cherchesov Sr. worked then, signed the son of their coach, but messed up something in the documents. In the middle of the next summer, the violation was revealed, and the Perm youth team was awarded eight technical defeats. When Cherchesov moved to Dynamo, his son followed. As part of the blue and white Cherchesov, Jr. is still listed. However, because of the wide backs of Shunin and Narubin, it has not yet been possible to break through at least to the bench.

Defender: Boris Rotenberg Jr.

Club: Lokomotiv (Moscow)

Rotenberg Jr. is trying with all his might to prove that his appearance in certain teams is not associated with the influence of his father, but they do not really believe in this. During his career, Boris changed more than a dozen clubs, this summer he moved once again. Now the defender is proving his worth to Yuri Semin. Rotenberg has not played for Lokomotiv yet. For the Finnish national team, for which the footballer decided to play, not counting on an invitation to the Russian team, Boris has not yet played in the selection for the 2018 World Cup.

Defender: Sandro Tsveiba

Club: Aktobe (Kazakhstan)

The son of Akhrik Tsveiba, who managed to play for the national teams of four states, seeks to keep up with his father. Born in Kiev, Sandro, in addition to Russian youths of different ages, played for Abkhazia at the tournament for the national teams of the unrecognized states. Tsveiba Jr. began his career at Dynamo Moscow, where his father played out. He appeared in Spartak and Lokomotiv, where Tsveiba played with Lystsov. Only he did not go to Benfica, but to the PFL Rus club. Sandro played and scored, but in the middle of the season the team withdrew from the tournament. Then there were Khabarovsk, Hungary and Croatia, but Tsveib began to regularly enter the field only in the Kazakh "Aktobe", where he moved in winter.

Defender: Nikita Romaschenko

Club:"Amkar" (Perm)

The son of Miroslav Romashchenko started in the capital "Torpedo", from where he moved to "Amkar". The father, who worked in the coaching staff of Cherchesov, had already left Perm by that time. Neither in Torpedo, nor in the last two seasons in Amkar, Nikita did not become a base player even for youth teams, although he appears on the field regularly. There was even a slight, albeit conditional, regression - if last year Romashchenko spent an hour on the field on average, then this one - less than half. But my father went upward - after Legia he moved with Cherchesov to the national team.

Defender: Sergey Shustikov Jr.

Club:"Torpedo" (Moscow)

Shustikov Jr. began his career in Samara, where his father worked then. Then Shustikov Sr. moved to CSKA, and the paths between them and his son, as expected, parted. Sergei played in the second league for four years, maturing and rising with Chemist in the FNL. When the Dzerzhinsky club flew out of there, Shustikov Jr. decided to continue the path of his father and grandfather, moving to the capital "Torpedo". On Christmas Day, Sergei Shustikov Sr. suddenly died and his own club will no longer be able to help his son get out of the quagmire.

Defender: Mikhail Tikhonov

Club:"Enisey" (Krasnoyarsk)

The son of the legend of "Spartak" Andrei Tikhonov could not help but be in the school "red and white". However, the competition in Moscow was too high. Having moved to Krasnodar with his father, Tikhonov Jr. made the right decision. At the Krasnodar academy, he received much more playing time. True, I had to re-qualify from extreme forward to defender. When Andrey Tikhonov became the head of Yenisei, he invited his son there. Mikhail has already played a couple of matches in the FNL.

Midfielder: Guram Ajoev Jr.

Club: Arsenal (Tula)

The son of the ex-striker, and now a functionary Guram Adzhoyev, got into "Dynamo" after the arrival of his father at the same time as the son of Cherchesov. He played only for the youth team of the "white-blue" and after leaving the club of his father did not stay in Moscow. In winter he left for Tula and jumped out in the FNL championship a couple of times. With the return of the Tula to the elite, he plays only for the youth team. Arsenal do not shine in the youth championship, having gained one point in nine rounds.

Midfielder: Vladimir Tatarchuk Jr.

Club: Sochi

Tatarchuk Jr. could not grow into the same cool player as his father was, but he managed to do something. Vladimir took Krasnodar to the Premier League and helped to gain a foothold in it. For a long time he was the champion of the “bulls” in terms of the number of matches played, until in 2014 he was overtaken by Joaozinho. By that time, Tatarchuk's career had already ended. In transit through the FNL, Vladimir ended up in the PFL, where for the last couple of seasons he occasionally appeared on the field at Zenit Penza, and now at Sochi. Tatarchuk is still only 29, but it seems that he doesn't have to wait for a new takeoff.

Midfielder: Yuri Petrakov

Club: Luch-Energia (Vladivostok)

Petrakov Jr. received his football education in Moscow, where he changed four clubs. I was called up to the youth teams, so my father's invitation to Dynamo Bryansk after an unsuccessful voyage to Moldova did not look like pure protection. Moreover, the son refused the previous invitation of Valery Petrakov to "Alania". Later, Yuri played for Tom, and then moved to his father in Torpedo, which had fallen in the PFL. Both did not stay in the troubled club. Petrakov senior was called back in the spring to pull Tom into the Premier League, and the youngest moved to Luch, who plays in the FNL. Given the difficult financial situation of the Vladivostok team, Petrakov Jr. may well change his registration again.

Midfielder: Diniyar Bilyaletdinov

Club:"Rubin Kazan)

The most successful collection. He started his career under the strict guidance of his father at Lokomotiv. He became the champion of Russia and was the captain of Loko, took medals at Euro 2008. At Everton, he could not stand the competition and returned home without returning to his previous level. I didn’t play in “Spartak”, I looked pale also in leases in Makhachkala and “Torpedo”. In 2015 he was reunited with his father in Kazan. After the dismissal of Bilyaletdinov Sr., he remained at Rubin. Now he is recovering from an injury, however, given the arrival of a crowd of qualified legionnaires, Bill's prospects in Kazan are vague.

Forward: Kirill Panchenko

Club: Dynamo (Moscow)

Viktor Panchenko became the top scorer of the Russian championship, and after finishing he moved to administrative work. Since 2008, Panchenko Sr. has been working in the selection service of CSKA, so Kirill's appearance in the club probably happened not without the participation of his father. All the more strange was the decision of Slutsky, who had lost Musa, to shake off Panchenko at Dynamo. There, Kirill scores in almost every match and played enough for an invitation to the national team from the FNL. And CSKA is frankly suffering in the attack and without Eremenko, who had been eliminated for a month, with a sluggish Traore ahead, risked missing points. Another thing is that Cherchesov rather wanted to demonstrate that the doors to the national team are really open to anyone who shows himself as a football player.
