In an interview with the official program, the black-and-blue defender spoke about his career, meeting famous athletes, Ossetian hospitality, and his desire to please Yaroslavl fans good performance teams.
- Valery, many Ossetian guys went to enroll in a football school under the impression of the successful performance of Alania in the 90s. When the club from the capital of the republic became the champion, you were 6 years old. Remember some moments from that time?
- Then I constantly went with my dad to the matches, but, to be honest, it's hard to remember anything specific. It is clear that at that age it was difficult for me to understand what was happening on the field. Rather, everything that happens at the stadium around football was interesting: a festive atmosphere, a large number of people, shouts of support.
- Did you have a chance to personally meet someone from the championship squad of "Alania" later, when the football player's career began?
- Yes, I managed to play together with the legendary Ossetian Artur Pagaev, as well as with Alan Agaev and Robert Bitarov. Of course, they taught us a lot, young players, prompted us in some football episodes. I have always listened to and listened to their advice.
- At what age did you start playing football?
- At the age of 9 I came to the Vladikavkaz football school "Yunost", where I began to study with Vitaly Ikoyev. After a while I moved to Spartak, where they put me on defense. First, he played as the last defender, and then, when we switched to adult football, they began to retrain us to play the line. Of course, at first there were slight difficulties with this, but then everything returned to normal, and now I can't even imagine how they used to play according to a different scheme.
- Wrestling is very developed in Ossetia. Did you do it?
- Probably, any child in our republic tries to play football and wrestling. I'm not an exception. In my case, football still prevailed.
- Do you know any of the wrestlers?
- I talked with famous athletes Stanislav Khachirov and Zaur Sokhiev. They came to the games of "Alania".
- Before joining Shinnik, have you been to our city with other teams?
- No, I didn't have to.
- In your career there was a period of performances for Taganrog. How did you get there?
- Playing for Alania, I was injured, I had an operation. After her, on loan, he played for Alania-D in the second league. At the end of the contract with the residents of Vladikavkaz, I had another operation, and I was left without football for a year. After recovery, he actually started his career from scratch. There was a variant with Taganrog. From Taganrog then moved to Ryazan.
- I know that the coach of the team, Garnik Avalyan, who once played for Shinnik, called you there.
- Yes that's right.
- Many people say that you are a tough defender. How would you characterize your playing style?
- Yes, I really like to act in a forceful manner.
— Which of your colleagues would you single out?
- As for world football, I would like to mention Sergio Ramos and Puyol. Of the Russian defenders, the most stable, I will not be original, are Ignashevich and Vasily Berezutsky, who have been playing for the national team for many years.
- You often join the attack with standards. Is this an improvisation or a coaching attitude?
- This is the coach's mindset.
- How did the Shinnik coaches find you?
- Ryazan had a good season. Apparently, Alexander Mikhailovich followed our games, I was invited to watch. Following the results of the viewing, he signed a contract. Difference between divisions? There is more struggle and no weak teams at all
— Who will you single out from the rivals in the FNL?
- I liked Spartak-2 very much. They have a good passing game. And, of course, Gazovik makes a strong impression.
- Is your family now with you in Yaroslavl?
- Yes, the wife and child are here. For me, this is a huge support and additional incentive on the field.
- As far as I know, you do not have a physical education education?
- Indeed, I graduated from the Khetagurov University in Vladikavkaz with a degree in Jurisprudence. So far I have not applied the skills acquired in the specialty, but who knows what will happen in the future after the end of my career.
- There are legends about Ossetian hospitality. To what extent are these traditions observed in your family?
- Of course, we observe these traditions. At any even the smallest celebration, we have three Ossetian pies on our table, with which the feast begins.
- Do women bake pies?
- Oh sure.
- Can you cook something yourself?
- I can fry meat. When guests come, I make kebabs in the courtyard of the house.
- Footballer of Krasnoyarsk “Yenisei” Albert Tskhovrebov You ...
“I’m just a namesake, I don’t have brothers-footballers.
- What goals do you set for yourself at Shinnik?
- I would like to climb with the team as high as possible in standings and to please the Yaroslavl football fans. It is very pleasant to feel the support of the fans both at home and away matches.

Thirteen years later, the Rossoneri again entered the Athens Olympic Stadium as a trophy contender, and again they managed to win, this time over Liverpool - 2: 1.

Camp Nou (Barcelona, Spain). Opened in 1957, reconstructed twice - in 1995 and 2008. Accommodates 99 354 spectators.
Barcelona's stadium has seen many memorable matches, but the 1998/99 UEFA Champions League final stands alone. That meeting between “Bavaria” and “Manchester United” can be called legendary without exaggeration.

"Stade de France" (Saint-Denis, France). Opened in 1998. Accommodates 81,338 spectators.

Meeting “Real” and “Valencia” ended with a confident victory of the Madrid club with a score of 3: 0. This was the first time in the history of the Champions League that clubs from the same country played in the final.
6 years later, in the 2005/06 season, Barcelona and Arsenal competed for the trophy on the Stade de France field. Londoners, from the 18th minute playing in the minority after the removal of goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, opened the scoring 10 minutes before the break, but in the second half goals from Samuel Eto “O and Juliano Belletti brought victory to the Catalans - 2: 1.
"San Siro" (Milan, Italy). Opened in 1926. The last reconstruction was carried out in 1989. Accommodates 80,018 spectators.
Stadium "San Siro" was renamed in honor of Giuseppe Meazza in 1979, but the historical name of the arena is still the most popular and recognizable all over the world. The Champions League final has been played here twice.
In the 2000/01 season, Bayern Munich and Valencia played a dramatic match in Milan, in which the 11-meter kicks played the main role. Already in the 2nd minute, Gaisk Mendieta brought the Spaniards ahead from the penalty spot, and after 4 minutes the goalkeeper of the “Bats” Santiago Canisares deflected the 11-meter kick performed by Mehmet Scholl. At the beginning of the second half, Stefan Effenberg equalized the score from the penalty spot, and the fate of the match was decided in a series of post-match strikes, in which Bayern's players were more precise.
15 years later, in May 2016, Real Madrid and Atlético in the same arena almost exactly repeated the scenario of the game of Bayern and Valencia. Regular time also ended with a score of 1: 1, in extra time the teams failed to distinguish themselves, and the “Royal Club” won in the penalty shootout.
Hampden Park (Glasgow, Scotland). Opened in 1903. Renovated in 1999. Accommodates 51,866 spectators.
Real Madrid and Bayer 04 entered Hampden Park in the Champions League final in May 2002, and six months later the arena celebrated its 99th anniversary.

"Veltins-Arena" (Gelsenkirchen, Germany). Opened in 2001. The last time the capacity of the stadium was increased in 2015, today it is 62,271 people.
The arena has been bearing its current name since the summer of 2005, earlier it was called "Aufschalke Arena". The stadium hosted matches of the World Cup and ice hockey. Since 2002, the annual Christmas race of biathlon stars has been held here.
The 2004 Champions League final, held in Gelsenkirkhin, is one of the most memorable for Russian fans, as one of the goals was scored by Dmitry Alenichev. The Porto midfielder has set the final score of the match against AS Monaco (3-0). The Portuguese team at that time was led by Jose Mourinho, who became the youngest head coach in history to win the main club trophy in Europe.
Olympic Stadium (Istanbul, Turkey). Opened in 2002. Accommodates 80,500 spectators.
The stadium in Istanbul was built for the alleged holding of the 2008 Summer Olympics, but Turkey's bid did not receive the required number of votes, and the Olympics took place in Beijing. Currently, the arena in Istanbul is named after the first President of Turkey Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and is the largest in the country.
The 2005 Istanbul Champions League final is arguably the greatest in tournament history. In the decisive match, Milan beat Liverpool 3-0 after the first half, but goals from Gerrard, Schmitzer and Alonso turned everything upside down in the second half. There were no goals scored in extra time, and the British club turned out to be stronger in the penalty shootout.
Luzhniki (Moscow, Russia). Opened in 1956. The last reconstruction was carried out in 2017. Accommodates 81,000 spectators.
For the first time, Russia won the right to host the 2007/08 Champions League final, and this honorable mission was entrusted to the Luzhniki Grand Sports Arena. Chelsea and Manchester United fought for the trophy, the first time two English teams faced off in a Champions League decisive match.
The game caused great excitement among fans both in England and in Russia, more than 67 thousand spectators were present in the stands. In the middle of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo brought Manchester United forward, but just before the break, Frank Lampard equalized the score. The second half and extra time passed without goals scored, and in the penalty shootout, the Mankunians were more precise.
"Santiago Bernabeu" (Madrid, Spain). Opened in 1947. The last reconstruction was carried out in 2001. Accommodates 81,044 spectators.
The home arena of one of the most successful clubs in modern football has hosted the Champions League final only once - in the 2009/10 season, but this so far only match has gone down in history.
In the Madrid final, Inter and Bayern Munich met. The match ended 2-0 in favor of the Italian club, and Jose Mourinho, who worked with the Nerazzurri at the time, became the third coach in history who managed to win the Champions Cup with two different teams (now there are five of them: in addition to the Portuguese Ernst Happel, Ottmar Hitzfeld, Jupp Heynckes and Carlo Ancelotti).
An interesting fact is that in the final of 2010 there was only one Italian in the Milanese - Marco Materazzi, and even he appeared on the field in the 90th minute of the match.
Wembley (London, England). Opened in 2007. Accommodates 90,000 spectators.
The new Wembley is built on the site of the legendary arena that hosted the matches of the World and European Championships, Olympic Games and many European Cup finals.
The 2010/11 Champions League final, which took place at the new Wembley, was in some sense a home for Manchester United, but it didn't help the Mancunians win the trophy. Barcelona, led by the trio Xavi - Iniesta - Messi, won 3-1.
In 2013, Wembley hosted the first German Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. The victory and the cup were brought to the Bavarians by the accurate blow of Arjen Robben, who in the 89th minute set the final score - 2: 1.
Allianz Arena (Munich, Germany). Opened in 2005. Accommodates 67,812 spectators.
The decisive match of the 2011/12 Champions League season was the first final of the tournament, which took place at the home stadium of one of the participants in the meeting - Bayern hosted Chelsea in Munich. The account was opened only in the 83rd minute after hitting the hosts striker Thomas Muller, but five minutes later the leader of the attacks of Londoners Didier Drogba restored the balance.
The fate of the trophy was decided in a penalty shootout. Bayern took the lead again after a precise shot by Philippe Lam and a miss by Juan Mata, but then the visiting players made all their attempts, while the German team had two misfires. Thus, Chelsea won the Champions League for the first time in their history.
Millennium (Cardiff, Wales). Opened in 1999. Accommodates 73 930 spectators.
The home arena of the Wales national team was opened at the turn of the millennium, having received the corresponding name, but in 2016 the stadium received a new name - Principality Stadium, which with a certain amount of imagination can be translated simply as "Princely Stadium", since Wales is part of the United Kingdom, and the Queen's son Elizabeth II Charles bears the title of Prince of Wales.
But back to the Champions League. The final of the main club tournament in Europe took place here in 2017, with Real Madrid and Juventus participating in that match. Madrid won 4: 1 and won the second Champions League title in a row, and football fans will remember that meeting with the super goal of the Turin striker Mario Mandjukic.
Metropolitano (Madrid, Spain). Opened in 1994. Renovated in 2017. Accommodates 67,700 spectators.
Liverpool and Tottenham met in the 2019 Champions League final. The final was the first in history for Tottenham and the first since the final in 2013, where at least one Spanish club did not play. Liverpool, reaching the final for the second time in a row, won the match 2-0. Jurgen Klopp won the trophy in his third Champions League final as head coach.
