Excerpt from Paredes, Leandro
- What's the matter with you, my angel, sick? The count asked. Natasha was silent.“Yes, I’m sick,” she answered.
When the count was worried about why she was so murdered and whether something had happened to the groom, she assured him that it was nothing, and asked him not to worry. Marya Dmitrievna confirmed to the count Natasha's assurances that nothing had happened. The count, judging by the alleged illness, by the upset of his daughter, by the confused faces of Sonya and Marya Dmitrievna, clearly saw that in his absence something was bound to happen: but he was so afraid to think that something shameful had happened to his beloved daughter, he He loved his cheerful calmness so much that he avoided questioning and kept trying to assure himself that there was nothing special and only grieved that, due to her ill health, their departure to the village was postponed.
From the day of his wife's arrival in Moscow, Pierre was planning to leave somewhere, just so as not to be with her. Soon after the Rostovs arrived in Moscow, the impression Natasha made on him made him hurry to fulfill his intention. He went to Tver to the widow of Joseph Alekseevich, who promised long ago to give him the papers of the deceased.
When Pierre returned to Moscow, he received a letter from Marya Dmitrievna, who called him to her on a very important matter concerning Andrei Bolkonsky and his bride. Pierre avoided Natasha. It seemed to him that he had a stronger feeling for her than a married man should have for his friend's bride. And some kind of fate constantly brought him to her.
"What happened? And what do they care about me? he thought as he dressed to go to Marya Dmitrievna's. Prince Andrey would have come as soon as possible and married her! " thought Pierre on the way to Akhrosimova.
On Tverskoy Boulevard, someone called out to him.
- Pierre! Have you arrived long ago? A familiar voice shouted at him. Pierre raised his head. In a pair of sleighs, on two gray trotters, throwing snow at the heads of the sleigh, Anatole flashed by with his everlasting comrade Makarin. Anatole was sitting upright, in the classic pose of military dandies, wrapping the bottom of his face in a beaver collar and bowing his head a little. His face was rosy and fresh, his hat with a white plume was worn on his side, revealing his curled hair, pomaded and strewn with fine snow.
“And really, here is a real sage! thought Pierre, he sees nothing beyond a real moment of pleasure, nothing disturbs him, and that is why he is always cheerful, contented and calm. What would I give to be like him! " thought Pierre with envy.
In Akhrosimova's hall, the footman, taking off Pierre's fur coat, said that Marya Dmitrievna was being asked to go to her bedroom.
Opening the door to the hall, Pierre saw Natasha sitting by the window with a thin, pale and angry face. She looked back at him, frowned, and left the room with an expression of cold dignity.
- What's happened? - asked Pierre, entering Marya Dmitrievna.
“Good deeds,” answered Marya Dmitrievna: “I've lived for fifty-eight years, I've never seen such shame. - And having taken Pierre's word of honor to be silent about everything that he learns, Marya Dmitrievna told him that Natasha had refused her fiancé without the knowledge of her parents, that the reason for this refusal was Anatol Kuragin, with whom her wife Pierre had brought her, and with whom she wanted to run away in the absence of his father, in order to secretly get married.
Pierre, raising his shoulders and opening his mouth, listened to what Marya Dmitrievna was saying to him, not believing her ears. The bride of Prince Andrei, so much beloved, this formerly dear Natasha Rostova, exchange Bolkonsky for the fool Anatole, already married (Pierre knew the secret of his marriage), and fall in love with him so much to agree to run away with him! - This Pierre could not understand and could not imagine.
The sweet impression of Natasha, whom he had known since childhood, could not unite in his soul with a new idea of her baseness, stupidity and cruelty. He remembered his wife. "They are all the same," he said to himself, thinking that he was not alone in the sad fate of being associated with an ugly woman. But he still felt sorry for Prince Andrew to tears, he felt sorry for his pride. And the more he felt sorry for his friend, the more contempt and even disgust he thought of this Natasha, with such an expression of cold dignity now passing by him through the hall. He did not know that Natasha's soul was filled with despair, shame, humiliation, and that it was not her fault that her face inadvertently expressed calm dignity and severity.

Leandro Paredes club career
early years
Born in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, like other boys from childhood, he drove with a ball in the yard, and then ended up in one of the many schools in the football capital of Argentina. The choice of Paredes fell on Boca Juniors, in this team he was from the age of eight, and already at the age of 16 he was enrolled in the main team and even managed to play a couple of matches in the national championship. The player's debut took place on November 6, 2010 in a duel with Argentinos Juniors. Paredes spent 7 minutes on the field. Before reaching adulthood, I spent a few minutes on the field. However, he ended up in the 2011 Torneo Apertura winners list.
Since 2012, Paredes has been entrenched at the core of Boca. On November 3, he scored his first goal of his professional career, hitting the goal of San Lorenzo. In the same match he scored the second goal. From the fans of his team, Paredes received the nickname "The Heir": they saw in the young midfielder a replacement for the veteran Riquelme, who at that time was finishing his distinguished career with his native team.
Having also won the country's Cup with Boca, Paredes fell into the sphere of interests of European clubs. Since he has not yet shown anything outstanding at the adult level, the only club that dared to sign him was Roma. Yes, and there was not everything went smoothly: the "wolves" have exhausted the limit on players from countries outside the Euro zone. Because of this, Chievo became the official renter of the player, in which he spent his first months in European football, having played only one Serie A match: on May 4, during the match with Torino, he replaced Cyril Thero on the field.
"Roma"
In July 2014, Roma managed to complete a full-fledged loan of a player: for 18 months with the right of subsequent repurchase. In this team, Paredes also did not get a lot of game practice (423 minutes for the entire season). Nevertheless, the club decided to buy the player out by paying Boke 4.5 million euros.
Empoli
In the final days of the 2015 summer transfer window, Paredes moved on loan to Empoli. On September 13 he spent 19 minutes in the match against Napoli, on September 19 he played already 29 minutes and scored the winning goal on the road against Udinese. Leandro came to the court in the Tuscan club, which was dismantled after the departure of Maurizio Sarri and a number of key players. In the second half of the season, Empoli won a number of home victories and managed to stay in the elite division. Paredes played 33 out of 38 possible matches, scoring 2 goals. In this team, he first tried his hand at the position of a defensive midfielder, replacing the experienced Mirko Valdifiori (who also left the team). Since February, the first information about the interest in Paredes from the leading European clubs: City, Barcelona, Chelsea, Leicester and Liverpool began to leak in the Italian media.
Zenit's interest and another season in Rome
On June 28, it became known for the first time that Paredes could move to Zenit. The amount of the transfer was even named - 15 million euros. In July, St. Petersburg residents increased the offer to 20 million and Roma allegedly accepted the offer. However, very soon the agent and the player himself made it clear that there would be no transition:
“I can say with confidence that Paredes will not be at Zenit, he will not go there. Was there a specific proposal for it from Zenit? No comments. Leandro remains a Roma player
Before the closure of the TO, several more clubs, including Milan and Liverpool, allegedly made their proposals for the Argentine. However, as promised by the agent, Paredes remained in the team, which was about to impose real competition on Juventus in the fight for the title. True, the season for the Romans began in mid-August with the Champions League qualifying matches. Roma lost 0-3 at home to Porto and Paredes was substituted 42 minutes into the game. Then he also got an injury, because of which he was able to gain a foothold in the base only by the end of November. On October 23 he scored his first goal - against Palermo. In the second half of the season, Paredes became less likely to get into starting line-up, and in total played in 27 matches, coming on as a substitute 12 times.
"Zenith"
By the end of the 2016/17 season, it was clear that Leandro would not be an important player for Roma under Di Francesco. And there were not so many applicants for it. Rumors linked him to Atlético and Liverpool, but no concrete proposals were made. At that moment, Zenith again loomed on the horizon. The St. Petersburg club wanted to pull off a double deal, laying out 50 million euros for Paredes and Manolas. Roma requested 80 million euros. Protracted negotiations began. At a certain moment it seemed that Manolas had already moved to Zenit, but Paredes did not want to go to Russia. But by the end of June everything had changed: Paredes successfully passed a medical examination and on July 1 officially became a Zenit player. The transfer amount is 23 million euros + 4 million in the form of bonuses for successful performances. But Manolas remained in Italy.
Debuted in RFPL match against SKA-Khabarovsk in the 1st round 2017/18. Paredes became 1 of 4 Argentines who played in this match. On August 13, he scored the first goal for the club against Akhmat. On September 21, in the 1/16 Russian Cup match, he scored a goal against Dynamo St. Petersburg (2: 3). At the end of October, he was recognized as the best player of Zenit. This month he scored and assisted in the match against Anji and was marked as an assist in the LE against Real Sociedad. Interestingly, after his goal against the Makhachkala team, Zenit could not score for five matches, repeating their anti-record in the Russian championship (384 minutes). And it was Paredes who interrupted this streak, scoring a goal in the confrontation with Tosno in March. On April 2, 2018, in a game with Arsenal, he scored a goal with a direct kick from a corner.
Already in the winter of 2018, Zenit could profitably sell Paredes for 40 million euros. It was claimed by PSG and Liverpool. However, the Argentine remained in the team for another season and a half. Even after the dismissal of Roberto Mancini, he remained one of the best players on the team. In fact, the Argentine was taken as a defensive midfielder, but at Zenit he was still focused on the attack, often not refining in defense. Because of this, he was regularly criticized by fans. In May 2018, the Argentinean announced that he was choosing between Real Madrid and Juventus. However, in Russia they were convinced that the player was simply trying to increase his worth and justify the salary he received at the St. Petersburg club.
“Let's see who is interested in Paredes and who needs it. I have little faith in what our information portals write. Yes, let him leave - this is his personal desire. If he doesn't want to be in Zenit, let him leave. While it is of little use. Leandro does not justify the salary he receives. I will choose between Juventus and Real Madrid. Ha ha! Yes, he would rather leave "
That summer, Paredes did not go to the World Cup, and Zenit never received a single specific proposal for him. The player began his second season in the Premier League, which also turned out to be controversial. Semak, who came to the coaching bridge of the “blue-white-blue”, forced the Argentinean to work out in defense. In August, Zenit defeated Dynamo Minsk (8-1) and Ural from Yekaterinburg (4-1). Paredes scored a goal in each of the matches, and also managed to get a red card in the confrontation with Dynamo. On October 29 he scored the only goal in the match against Krylia and was named the best player of the 12th round. On November 4, he was sent off again - this time in the Premier League match against Anji. In one of the final matches of the first part of the championship, he helped his team beat Rubin by scoring a goal from the penalty spot. This match was the last for Leandro. In total, he played 61 matches for the Russian club, scored 10 goals and gave 15 assists.
PSG
Back in September it became known that Zenit had promised to release Paredes in January. It was claimed by Italian clubs (Milan, Juventus, Inter) and several other unnamed representatives of other leagues. However, in January, the struggle for the player unfolded between Chelsea and PSG. The clubs have alternately increased their rates, reaching 47 million euros. The final offer was made by the Parisians, while Chelsea focused on signing Higuain.
On January 25, Paredes underwent a medical examination to move to the Parisian club. However, the deal was concluded only on the 29th, because at the last moment the PSG management decided to revise the terms of the deal and reduce the agent's bonus payments to 7 million euros. Parisians concluded with 24-year-old Argentine
“I am proud to be at PSG. After my experiences in Italy and Russia, I had a fantastic opportunity to discover new football and put on the uniform of one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. We all know at what the highest level are the PSG players and coaches. I share the club's ambitions and will give my all to meet PSG's expectations. I look forward to the moment when I can plunge into the atmosphere of Parc des Princes, where football is loved as passionately as in Argentina. "
- the Argentinean commented on his transfer.
In Paris, Paredes came to replace Andrien Rabiot, who raised a riot and was sent to the second team. On February 3, the player made his debut in the Ligue 1 duel against Lyon, replacing Kimpembe. The Parisians lost for the first time this season, 1-2. On 6 February he played 120 minutes of the cup match against Villefranche, and 12 made his debut in the Champions League match against Manchester United. Paredes played the next two matches in Ligue 1 from the first to the last minute, and the Parisians won them 4-0.
International career of Leandro Paredes
Internationally, he played for the youth and youth teams of Argentina. Since 2017, he has been called to the main team. In his debut match against Singapore, he scored a goal and provided an assist. In June 2017, he helped his team beat Brazil in the Superclasico de las Americas mini-tournament. On October 11, 2017, he played his first official match - against Ecuador as part of the qualification for the 2018 World Cup. I didn't go to the tournament itself.

”, Replacing Lucas Vyatri 7 minutes before the end of the meeting. On 3 November 2012, in a match with San Lorenzo, the midfielder scored the first goal of his professional career. Later in the match, Paredes scored the second goal, realizing the pass of Guillermo Fernandez. In his youth, Leo preferred to act closer to the attack, also because one of his favorite players was Juan Roman Riquelme. The Boca fans gave Paredes the nickname “The Heir”: they saw the young midfielder as a replacement for the veteran Riquelme. In 2011, Paredes formally became the champion of Argentina, but until the second half of 2012 he appeared on the field only sporadically. In over three years at Boca, he played only 28 matches (five goals), but managed to attract the attention of Roma. The Romans could not immediately buy the Argentinean, as they had exhausted the quota for football players from outside the European Union, so in January 2014 they made a transit deal through Chievo.
As part of "Boca", the footballer became the champion of Argentina and the owner of the country's cup.
Rent in "Chievo"
The Argentinian played for the "flying donkeys" only once: on May 4, during the match with "Torino", he replaced Cyril Thero on the field.
"Roma"
In July 2014, the midfielder transferred to Roma on loan for a period of 18 months with the right to buy out the contract. The first goal was scored against Cagliari in the 22nd round of the 2014/15 season. Despite the small amount of time spent on the field for the Yellow-Reds (423 minutes), Roma bought the contract from Boca Juniors for 4.5 million euros.
Rent in "Empoli"
On August 26, 2015, Empoli was rented for one season. The first goal was scored in the match against Udinese. The Tuscan club had a hard time: Main coach Maurizio Sarri went up, along with him important players left the team - Daniele Rugani, Elseid Husai, Mirko Valdifiori. New coach Empoli Marco Giampaolo did not radically change the system of the game: the Tuscans continued to act with a diamond in the center of the field. One of the main figures in this formation was Paredes. For the first time in his career, Leandro sank into the depths - there the Argentine was supposed to replace Valdifiori, performing the functions of a deep point guard.
In a new position, Paredes adapted very quickly. The attacking past allowed Leo to get out of the pressure due to dribbling without any problems, and thanks to the excellent vision of the field, Paredes became one of the leaders in Serie A in terms of the number of passes to the final third. In the 2015/16 season, Paredes became a main player for his team for the first time in his career (33 matches, two goals) and returned to Rome.
Return to Roma
In the 2016/17 season, he again played for Roma. He made his debut in the Champions League playoffs against Porto. The first goal was scored against Palermo. In March 2017, Paredes became a staffer of standards at Roma. Leo's only assist of the season happened just after a corner kick - in the match with Milan, Edin Dzeko closed the cross at the near post. Under the leadership of Marco Giampaolo, the Tuscans became the main sensation of the first half of the Italian season. Giampaolo used Paredes as a pre-defense playmaker in a 4-3-1-2 formation. It was there that his skills were fully realized - vision of the field, an excellent middle pass, the ability to control the ball and fulfill standards. Played 27 appearances, 12 substitutions.
Young Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes is familiar to many fans of football, especially Russian. After all, he has been defending the colors of the St. Petersburg Zenit for a whole year. During his career, he changed several clubs, and in each he managed to prove himself. However, you can talk about this in a little more detail.
early years
At the age of six, Leandro Paredes entered football school at the Argentine club Boca Juniors, where he played until 2014.
In 2010, he moved from the youth team to the main team. In November, on the 6th, his debut took place. It was a game against Argentinos Juniors. The young man came on as a substitute for Lucas Vyatri 7 minutes before the end of the match.
Two years later, the young midfielder scored his first goal. Then, in the same match, which took place against FC San Lorenzo, he sent the second goal into the opponents' goal.
Interestingly, at the beginning of his career, the footballer acted closer to the attack. Largely because he looked up to Juan Roman Riquelme, his favorite player. By the way, Leandro Paredes got the nickname "The Heir" for this very reason. Many saw him as a replacement for Riquelme.
However, the young man did not play often. For almost four years in the main team, he played only 28 matches and scored 5 goals. But they managed to notice him. Leandro received an offer from Roma, but the deal did not take place right away - the Romans had exhausted their quota for the purchase of players without an EU passport. However, the Italian club decided not to give up. They made the deal in transit through FC Chievo.
Career at Roma
Continuing to consider the biography of Leandro Paredes, it should be noted that although he was bought out by the Roman team in fact, he once played in Chievo. He was released to replace Cyril Thero in the match against Torino.
However, in July 2014, he went to Rome for a year and a half with the right to buy out the contract. He sent his first goal against FC Cagliari.
In total, footballer Leandro Paredes played 27 matches for the Yellow-Reds (423 minutes in total) and scored three goals. Despite the fact that he spent little time on the field, Roma bought the contract from Boca Juniors for the amount of 4,500,000 euros.
Going to Empoli
In 2015, Leandro was loaned for one season by another Italian club. He joined Empoli on 26 August. In one year, he played 33 matches and scored 2 goals (the first in the game against Udinese).
The team was going through a difficult time then. Together with the head coach, the most important players left the club - Valdifiori, Husai, Rugani. The team was headed by Marco Giampaolo, and he did not change the game system.
On the career of Paredes, this is reflected in the best way. For the first time, he went into the depths of the central "diamond", starting to act as a point guard.
In a new position, he quickly adapted. Since he was an attacker in the past, he got out of the pressure without any problems with the help of dribbling. And his excellent vision of the field allowed him to become the leader in Serie A in terms of the number of assists. That season, Leandro Paredes became the main player of the squad, but the loan period came to an end and he had to return to Rome.
Back to Roma
Leandro returned to the field for the Champions League match against Porto. He continued to impress with his game, and in March 2017, everyone already perceived him as a full-time set performer at the Rome club.
Largely thanks to him, as well as the leadership of Marco Giampaolo, the Romans became the main sensation of the first half of Serie A. Leandro played the role of playmaker before the defense.
He fit into the 4-3-1-2 scheme well. Moreover, it was then that he was able to realize all his skills to the fullest. But Paredes has a lot of them: he perfectly fulfills the standards, controls the ball well, gives off average passes well, and sees the field perfectly.
Moving to Russia
In the summer of 2017, it became known that Zenit St. Petersburg bought the talented midfielder. The agreement is for four years. The Russian club gave 23 million euros for him! In addition, the Romans may still be paid 4 million for the successful performance of the player.
At Zenit, Leandro Paredes often enters the field. He has already played 33 matches and scored 5 goals. Not surprisingly, in October 2017, he was awarded the title of the best footballer of the month.
I must say that the Argentine midfielder scoring is interesting. What is the only goal in the match against Arsenal, when he sent the ball into the opponent's goal with a corner kick! Surely there will be many more such spectacular moments ahead.
In one of his interviews, Leandro said that at first he was even a little scared to move to Russia. But, as he himself assures, it turned out to be in vain experiences. Yes, the Argentinean had a hard time adapting to the Russian language, but the player received great respect from the fans and teammates, which outweighed this small minus.
Paredes assures that he likes life in Russia. And the fact that he plays in a strong team allows him to have even more fun.
What can you say about the personal life of Leandro Paredes? The Argentine midfielder is married to Camilla Galante, with whom he has two children - a son and a daughter. Interestingly, they have been in a relationship for more than 7 years, but they got married quite recently - at the end of 2017.
The Argentinean made an offer in St. Petersburg. By the way, in one of his interviews, he said that Camilla knows much more about Russia than he does. The young people played the wedding in Buenos Aires - it was a very modest ceremony, judging by the photographs. Now the entire Paredes family lives happily in St. Petersburg.
Leandro is not going to leave Zenit - he says that he considers it his task to improve the club's performance. In addition, the St. Petersburg club really gives him a lot of playing time, which is very important for a football player.
