Denis Romantsov met with Andrey Streltsov, who played for Romantsev's Spartak, scored for Milan and fought with Anji's coach.

Andrey Streltsov flashed in the champion's Spartak Romantsev, went to the casting at Milan and Juventus, suffered with Kurban Berdyev, saved Anji from relegation, won the Latvian championship, and now, at thirty-one, he works in Khimki in Federal Migration Service.

- I read that your father trained you as a child.

Yes. Father is still in football. He is the best breeder for youths in Russia, he was looking for Zenit players in 2008, when they won the UEFA and the Super Cup, he worked for Spartak. Father, seventeen years old, has been working with Kostya Sarsania.

- How did they meet?

Through me. I started out in futsal. The coach of the national team of the region offered to try himself on the big field. He played the last defender - he was called to the national team of Chernozem region. I played for them - the breeder of the Moscow "Nika" Guzikov approached me: "Come." I signed a contract with them, I was fourteen years old. Six months later, Sarsania dragged him to the Sportakademklub, which he collected. It was then that he met my father, who brought me to Moscow. In Moscow, I lived in a boarding school, then in an academy in Chekhov, then they began to ride around Europe - they wanted to sell us, but agent Vlad Svetikov fooled Sarsania.

- How?

Sarsania wanted to sell us to Milan, while Svetikov took the lead and sold me and Danishevsky to Spartak. Kostya calls: "Tomorrow you will fly to Italy." I told him: “Where? We are already in Tarasovka. "

- How did it happen?

Sarsania worked in tandem with Svetikov. Vlad told us: “I agreed with Kostya - you are going to Spartak. We arrived at the office, signed a contract, left for the base, and in the morning Sarsania called: "You mean in Tarasovka?" - “Svetikov told us to sign with Spartak. - "Oh, this fat one! ..."

- Was the contract at Spartak different from the one at Sportakademklub?

I got a thousand rubles at Sportakademklub, and four hundred dollars at Spartak. But before we had enough of a thousand - we spent two months at the training camp in Cyprus. We sit for ourselves and sit at the gathering - well, sometimes we will go to see something in the store.

- Have you ever been caught?

Two guys were caught in Cyprus - Sarsania had to pay nine thousand dollars for them at the police station. There, how it happened - the guys went into a sports store, put on something, on top - their clothes - and went. Then they saw that the policeman was walking and began to throw the stolen clothes into the trash can. So, maybe nothing would have happened, but the police saw how they undressed, and the guys got hit. They were even beaten at the police station. These two guys did not reveal themselves in football - one came from Shakhtar and then left for Ukraine, and the second was from somewhere in the periphery, and then went to the first league.

- Your first trip abroad?

With the youth team of Russia I went to the tournament in Brazil. I was fourteen years old. We then just got to the carnival in Rio de Janeiro. Coach Smirnov allowed us to go and relax. We went out in uniform - the locals greeted us with joy, no one robbed. Then they swam in the ocean, bought statuettes of Christ for home.

- Was Sarsania a coach or manager at Sportakademklub?

Manager. Lobkov trained us. Terrible trainer. We are fifteen years old, and we did not work with the ball at all, we just ran. We will come to some tournament - in the first half we are driven, we lose 0: 3, and after the break we win 6: 3. Opponents fell, but we, on the contrary, scattered.

- Why did Lobkov torment you so?

To quickly prepare for sale. "Sportakademklub" focused on the transfers of young players abroad. We hardly played football in training. Lobkov was still angry - he always threw at us everything that came to hand. As in the army, generally tin. How happy I was when I got to Romantsev!

Ivanych has no running work, everything is with the ball, but one day he got angry and gave us the maximum speed for thirty minutes. We ran for about five minutes, and Romantsev stopped: "Take the balls!" Nobody wanted to run. “Running is not a Spartak topic,” Romantsev said. But Vyacheslav the Terrible is the opposite. When Ivanovich left for the national team, Grozny made us run. Vasek Baranov told him: "Viktorovich, what are we, athletes, or what?"

- Who did you play with at Sportakademklub?

Danishevsky, Pavlenko, plus the guys who left for Juventus - Ilyas Zeytullaev, Vitek Budyansky, Serega Kovalenko.

- Pavlenko also managed to sell?

Yes, they went to Lausanne with Andryukha Popov. Already from Lausanne, Pavlenko came to Spartak. He is younger than Danishevsky and me. According to the passport. But no.

- Did he remake his passport?

- Have you come across similar cases among Spartak's African legionnaires?

Was alone. Our doctors examined him, saw scars, scars, they say: "He is forty years old." And according to the passport - twenty-five. I don’t remember his name - of course, they didn’t take him to “Spartak” after such a medical examination.

- Did Spartak watch you before the transfer, or did Svetikov's agent just bring you to the office and they signed you?

We were watched in the Moscow championship. Samedov and Torbinsky played for Spartak at our age, but they still played poorly then, and did not want to sign them up, and Danishevsky and I were taken away immediately. Vyacheslav the Terrible came: "These two - to us."

- Did Spartak take you as a base right away?

Trained with the base, but played for the double. And then at the age of seventeen I entered the Premier League and became the champion of Russia.

- How did you celebrate the championship?

Gold medals were awarded at the Kristall casino. I was a little late, all the seats were already taken. I was seated with the singers - Trumpeter and Moiseev. I tell them: “Do you know that my favorite song is“ Swim Boat ”? You and Sarukhanov are singing. " - "All right, so let's go sing now." - "Oh, no, what are you?" But I was dragged onto the stage - I was the only player who sang that evening.

- How did the Spartak veterans welcome you?

Reluctantly. Most of all, Ananko did not like us. Danya (Danishevsky - Sports.ru) and I were high-speed, and Ananko constantly beat us. He was angry that he could not catch up with us - we guys did not think then, we just ran. Let's beat Ananko, run away, and he beat us right away. Then he said about us: “They don’t know how to shit.” Yegor Titov and Dimon Parfenov were also greeted coolly, but then, when everyone dispersed to the clubs, they began to communicate as friends.

- Baranov could not meet coolly.

Vasek - yes, funny. At the training camp, he was a freak - he threw Kebe and Lawrence Ajey into the pool after gyms in Turkey. Baranov and I played on the same flank. V last game In 2001 I played by hand, Lokomotiv scored a goal and we lost. During the break, I sit in the locker room, I have no strength. Romantsev walks in: “Vasya, help Andryukha, come back. Why is he running around for you, and you smoke bamboo. " Vasek told him: “Why should I come back? He's doing it anyway. " And I feel - I already have a pitchfork.

- Did you compete in speed with Danishevsky?

Grozny somehow arranged a competition for us - Lawrence Ajay, Sonin and me and Dania. We ran three times and three times I came first. Grozny thought that Danya was running the fastest. But Danya runs when he accelerates, and short distances are not his.

- Did you communicate with the legionnaires of Spartak?

Certainly. I was asked to help all foreigners who came to Spartak - to take them there, then here. First, they settled in a room with Essien Flo. A kind of guy - they played badly, everyone is upset, but he doesn't give a fuck, turns on rap and has fun. We spoke English with him - I just learned the language with him. He has a slightly broken English - Nigerians swallow endings and it is difficult to understand them, you have to think out.

- How weird was Kebe?

Disliked doctors. He hid from them in the closet. In training, he would start out of the blue and start fighting. If you catch him a little, it starts. He kept aloof from everyone, only communicated with me. Then Kebe and I played in "Anji" - they hacked to death with Dagestanis and Georgians there too.

- Jerry-Christian Tchuise played in your position at Spartak.

Although I played in his position, Chunya encouraged me all the time: "Andryukh, come on!" He spoke great Russian, thanks to his wife from Krasnodar, he received Russian citizenship. Friendly guy. By the way, I still communicate on Facebook with all foreigners from Spartak - with Flo, Zoa, Kebe, Brazilians. Zoah once wrote: "Fly to me in Cameroon!" As I looked, how long to fly there, and also get vaccinated - well, them.

- How did you spend your time with these guys in Moscow?

We hung out with Africans in clubs - they played tricks there, and I was their translator. Once they ran away from skinheads in Sokolniki Park. Come - me, Flo and Kebe. I saw skinheads running after us. And Flo and Kebe look at them calmly. I told them: "Let's run!" Skinheads followed us right up to the entrance.

- Was Spartak divided into groups?

Yes. Sonin, Pavlenko, Danishevsky and Kudryashov were in my company. In training, we always beat the old people, and they were unrealistically angry. It came to fights. Especially with black veterans often fought. The Africans were crazy - they jumped from two legs, and the dismantling began.

- What surprised Romantsev?

He loved to drink. When he is drunk, he will put on black glasses and sit so that it is not visible. We played once with Torpedo. Romantsev summoned me to replace: "So, Andryukh, you go on the attack" - "I'm actually a defender." - "Yes? OK". As a result, he was released into midfield.

- Did Sychev and Zhirkov come to Spartak with you?

Sychev came three times. They didn’t take him twice, I told him: “Don’t be upset, you will come back”. Yurets Zhirkov was weak then, he played with only one foot, he did not impress the coaches.

- Did you go to Milan after all?

Yes, but later. After the Commonwealth Cup, Franco Baresi came and invited me again. I was seventeen years old. When I was leaving for Milan, Shikunov and Chervichenko said: “If they give one and a half million, we'll let them go.” I played two friendly games for Milan - gave two assists and scored two. I didn’t differ at all from the Milan players, because Romantsev taught me to play with one touch, and two, and circle. Serginho came up to me: "What state of Brazil are you from?" Kakha Kaladze, who helped with the translation, explained to him: “He is not from Brazil, he is from Spartak. Serginho: "To go crazy, but you can't tell by technique."

- First impression of Milan?

As soon as I arrived, I lived for two days in the house of Baresi, then - at the base in Milanello. I go into the locker room - and towards Maldini. Kaladze and Kutuzov were always next to me - but Sheva was injured then. We only met him at someone's birthday party on a boat. I also remember that all Milan's training sessions were shown on club television. You return to your room in the evening and watch.

- Was it interesting to live in Italy?

Compared to Russia, it's boring. The training is over - I, Kakha, Gattuso, Rui Costa went to the cafe. They were with their wives, took a wine, dined - and that was it, there was nothing else to do there. The youth of Milan, primavera, walked to the clubs, but I did not go, because I talked with experienced players, and they did not advise me to go to the clubs.

- What did Ancelotti tell you?

- "Don't overexpose the ball, throw Inzaghi!" And he was running offside all the time. Well, it so happened that I just gave Inzaghi two assists and gave, and I myself scored two goals from Ibraim Ba's passes. Friendly matches were played with Fiorentina and Chievo.

- What interesting things did Kaladze tell you?

He said: "Here you can drink and smoke, no one is looking after anyone." Gattuso came to training in the Ferrari with a cigar in his mouth. The main thing is who shows how they are on the field. It is much easier to play in Milan - you can take the ball, dodge someone. In Russia, you beat someone, and he will jump at you from behind. In Milan, I played a right-handed lineman and without looking at me they gave me passes ahead of the move, because they knew that I had to be there. If I had not been there, the coach would have asked - why are you not there.

After two games, Ancelotti called me and through Kakha said: "Let's sign the contract." Sarsania conveyed this to Chervichenko and Shikunov, but they changed the conditions: "Let them give four million." As a result, Milan bought Dario Simic for four million.

Konstantin Sarsania and Dick Advocate

- And you?

I went to Juventus for one game. In "Juve" they said: "If it suits us, we will give four million." I gave two assists again - in a friendly game with Udinese. Marcello Lippi: “We like everything. But he is not Zidane to evaluate him by one game. Let him come again. " Sarsania to him: “How will he come? And so he flew to Italy almost on the sly. I had to change my passport so that no one would know about this trip. "

I returned to Spartak. I had a fight with Romantsev, he covered me a bit - before my trip to Italy, I constantly played for Spartak at the training camp. Then Juran came to Spartak's double and told me: “Andryukh, I'll talk to Ivanovich - everything will be fine”. So Romantsev brought me back to Spartak. Ivanych called me: “Why don't you want to play for Spartak? - “Yes, I want, I just have such an agent - he has me here and there. Well I can't refuse him. " After the season, Sarsania says: “I made an agreement with Kurban - let's go to Rubin. Then I still did not understand - the agent spoke and I drove. I had to stay at Spartak.

- Did Chervichenko often talk to you?

Constantly - both with Kostya Sarsania, and with my father. Chervichenko asked me not to leave Spartak for Rubin, but Spartak did not want to raise my salary, and Rubin made a normal offer at that time. As a result, they did not sell to Milan for one and a half million, but sold to Rubin for four hundred thousand. And instead of four hundred dollars in Spartak, I began to receive fifteen thousand dollars in Rubin.

- Why do you regret leaving Spartak?

Since then, I have changed clubs almost every year. It is profitable for Kostya Sarsania - he made money on it. And Romantsev treated me very well - even when he played for veterans, he took me, eighteen, with him. It was more pleasant for him to work with Russian footballers, the foreigners had several translators, but it happened that he explained something to them for a long time, but they still did not understand.

- Why did you give up football?

Ravil Sabitov invited me, Dima Polovinchuk, Serega Yashin, Eldar Mamaev to the Daugava. We became champions, but we were not paid money. We contacted UEFA. While the trial is underway, the footballer has no right to play - and the trial is still going on. Only two years after leaving the "Daugava" I was sent permission to appear somewhere. Where will I show up after such a downtime? To the second league? Traveling around Russia by bus and killing yourself for the same 60-100 thousand rubles? There is no strong desire.

- Do Latvians owe a lot?

Thirty thousand euros. I had the same situation with Makhachkala - I left Anzhi, but they would not let me go. The contract was ending, Sulik Kerimov came, he wanted to see me in the team, and Hajiyev didn't give a fuck. We didn't get along very well. I was invited to Dynamo Moscow, where Kostya Sarsania and Bozhovich were. I signed a preliminary contract, was going to fly with Dynamo to training camp, and I was taken off the plane.

- How so?

At the last moment they said: you are not flying. I called Kostya. He: "I'll figure it out now." It turns out that he was fired from Dynamo, and was replaced by Viktor Panchenko, who brought in another right-back.

- Your actions?

The coach of Bryansk, Alexander Smirnov, having learned that I had not been taken to Dynamo, called to him. Smirnov's nickname is War, for some reason the players called him that. But I did not stay in Bryansk for long. As soon as Petrakov appeared there, I immediately left.

- What's wrong with Petrakov?

He came and said that he needed to pay for me to play.

- Is this the first time in your career?

No. It was the same in Rubin.

- At Berdyev's?

Yes, he takes from everyone. Takes from the contract and from the salary. When I came to Rubin, I was not yet nineteen, and before that the youngest was Andryukha Konovalov - at thirty he was always the first to enter the square, because the others were even older.

- When did Berdyev tell you that he needs to pay for a place in the squad?

As soon as I signed the contract. He said to Kostya: "As soon as he is given the amount, he must give a part." I say, "Not a question." I trained, sat in theoretical classes, but did not play either for the double or for the base. I called Kostya: "What the hell?" - "Now you will receive the amount, give it to him and you will play." I gave the money, but Berdyev still would not let me out. Referred to the fact that I played softly in practice. When I started playing hard, Berdyev started to kick me out of training. There was Calisto, the left-back, we were hacked to death, and because of him Berdyev kicked me out.

- Did you give a significant percentage?

Decent.

- Did you give away only Russian players?

Montenegrin Radosav Bulich said: “This is the first time I see this. They come up to me and say that I have to pay the coach. There is no such thing in Europe. " - "And here it is," - I say.

- What else surprised Berdyev?

Berdyev did not forbid the players to hang out, we constantly gathered in restaurants, and took third place. The next year he banned - and Rubin fell. Then again he allowed - and Rubin became the fourth. In "Spartak", for example, this was not the case - so that the whole team had a rest in one place, there the veterans considered themselves great and did not communicate with the young, and experienced Rubin players always called me with them.

- Berdyev was a candidate for the coach of Spartak. How did you react to this?

If Berdyev had come to Spartak, he would have been a kick-ass. He has a purely defensive style. On installations, he focused only on counterattacks.

- Maybe thanks to this, you managed to take third place in the first season in the Premier League?

Thanks to this and thanks to the money.

- Money - for the salaries of your players?

No, another team.

- In Tatarstan, you were sent to Neftekhimik. What do you remember about that time?

They flew out and several people from "Rubin" were sent to rescue them. I scored the seven hundredth anniversary goal of Neftekhimik from the center of the field to Baltika, and I was presented with a music center and a TV set.

- What other gifts did you get?

In Makhachkala - a Vertu phone. I saw such a phone number at the director of "Anji" Ilyas Magomedov, and said: "Come on, if we stay in the first league, you will give me Vertu." - "No problem". In the end, I scored, we stayed, and Ilyas gave me a phone - it cost $ 500.

- How did you leave Rubin?

“Ruby” owed me one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. And he refused to let him go to another club. I suggested to them: "Keep this money for yourself, but let me go." Osman Kadiev, the president of Makhachkala "Dynamo", pulled me out of Kazan, he was Yaponchik's right hand. They agreed there somehow through the bandits to let me go from Rubin. This Osman was friends with the president of the Latvian Dinaburg, where I went to get in shape after an injury. And then I got to Anji.

- Where did you live in Makhachkala?

The guys are at the base, and I am in the city. You won't come to the base with a girl, nothing. True, in the city I fought with the locals twice - but then I made friends with the same guys. In Makhachkala, I made many friends - for example, the humorist Khalil with STS. Even now, when Dagestanis come to see me at the FMS and see my name on the plate, they start chatting with me about Anji.

- Why did you fight in Makhachkala?

Girls, singers, invited me to the club. The locals are all in black, but I came as a Muscovite. One approaches me, drunk in crap: “We don't like you. What are you doing here? " - "In terms of?" - "You know who I am?" - "Yes, I don't give a damn." - "I am a fighter." And he himself is drunk in the trash. Says: "Let's go out into the street." He went down, turned around - and wants to hit me. I put him on the leg. The guard came running: "What happened?" “A drunk fell down the steps,” I say. An ambulance arrived, gave him ammonia, his friends came running. I called our security: "I have problems, come." The guards arrived, knocked everyone down: "Why, did you not know that this is an Anji player?" "He didn't tell us." Since then we have become friends. And the second time, together with these guys, I fought against others.

- Have you ever fought on the field?

They played with Skonto in Latvia. Two pushed, their player ran up, hit behind ours - and rushed. The main pile was small, and the goalkeeper and I fought in another place. At first I was not removed from the field, and then they gave me a disqualification for seven games. And in “Anji” I once had a fight with Omari Tetradze.

Andrey Streltsov and Ivan Sayenko

- How so?

There were nine Georgians in the team. Tetradze said: “When we get together, no one speaks Georgian”. But they did not obey him and began to speak in their own way. I approached Tetradze: “We agreed. After all, they speak Georgian on the field ”. - "That is none of your business". Then we played with Kamaz. I scored a beautiful goal - the ball came from the left flank and I shot it since the summer. 1: 0, and then two conceded and went to the break with 1: 2. In the locker room - Georgian speech, then Tetradze pounced on the Dagestanis. I told him: "Why are you, your Georgians Khojava and Arziani do not run at all, they walk on foot." - "What are you, blah ?!" And we, in short, grappled with him. Tetradze: "You won't play with me anymore?" Then the fans came to the president of “Anji” Magomedov, but he didn’t know at all that I was dismissed. Magomedov approached Tetradze: "Here I will decide who plays and who does not."

Tetradze did not love me, but let me out. And he made me run from my own barbell to someone else's - and also complained that I didn’t close. I told him: “Mikhalych, you yourself played as an extreme defender and didn’t fucking run. How to create something in the attack, if the forces are gone? " I ran into the attack - they didn't give you a pass, you came back, you have a pulse of two hundred and you have to run forward again.

- Tetradze twice withdrew teams from the FNL, but he was not allowed to work in the Premier League. Why?

Anyone can be removed from the first and second leagues. There you solved the problem with money, but you have to play in the Premier League.

- Did one person supply the Georgian players?

Mamuka. He was always close to Anji and decided who entered the field and who did not. Mamuka told me: "Sign a contract with me and you will play." - "Fuck you."

- How did you end up in the Vladivostok "Luch"?

I was suing Anji at the FTC, Osman helped me again, and then moved to Luch. Luch's coach was Zoran Vulich - he knew which clubs I played in, asked me about training at Spartak and Milan. And then I got injured, the team flew away to the game, and I went to the clubs - I didn't drink, but just rested with the girls. Vulich didn't like it, he pushed me aside. Vulich was replaced by Semyon Altman, and he returned me to the team. We trained with Vulich once a day, and Altman decided to do a morning workout too - at five in the morning Moscow time. Everyone fell asleep. The first month in Vladivostok, it was even hard to breathe.

- How did you endure the flights?

At first it was difficult, then they began to get to know the flight attendants - and it was normal.

- Who did you make friends with in Luch?

Vitalik Bulyga and I went somewhere every day. It was fun. I go to him and now go to rest in Minsk.

- Did Sarsania invite you to Khimki from Luch?

Yes. Once he was asked in an interview to compose his dream team, and he wrote me as a right-back. I put Tymoshchuk in the middle, in defense of Lomberts and Krizhanats.

- After Khimki, what is your impression of Sarsania: is coaching his?

No. His calling is a manager. He does not know how to conduct training at all. I took the program of some Frenchman and worked only according to it, did not introduce any originality. Kostya asked my daddy: "What do the guys say about my training?" - "Yes, they say - you give some kind of crap."

- The craziest match in your career?

We went with Khimki to Nalchik in 2009. Before the arrival of Sarsania, in the previous season, Spartak Nalchik agreed with Khimki that they would give them points. The management changed and when Nalchik reminded about the debt, Kostya answered: “Why should we give you glasses? You agreed with the previous guide. We need glasses ourselves. " We arrived - and the bus didn't even meet us. They hitchhiked, who drove what, arrived half an hour before the game, changed - and immediately on the field. And at first only ten people entered the field, all the rest did not make it to the start of the match. We played a draw - the Nalchik leadership was raging, we again had to get to the airport on our own. Local Caucasians in their fives and sixes took us to the groups.

- Have you come to Zenit twice?

Yes, for the first time to Petrzhela, but then I had an injury - the cartilage was inflamed above the knee and it was unrealistic to bend the leg. Even the injections did not help, and then I could not play at the training camp. After “Anji” I again came to the screening at “Zenith” - to the Advocate. At the training camp in the Emirates, I played all over the edge - both from behind and in attack. The lawyer said: "Don't waste your energy." I answered: "Yes, I have a lot of strength." And Vlad Radimov was so used to my connections that he shouted to me when he received the ball: “Arrow, run!”.

Anji asked Zenit for me four million. The lawyer said: "I will take him, but he will be the second after Anyukov in the place of the right-back." But the management of "Zenith" decided: "Why do we need a spare for that kind of money?"

- Were you invited to the Russian national team?

The call came twice (when I was at Anji and Khimki), but due to injury I could not go both times.

- Why didn't you have a good relationship with Hajiyev?

When he was coaching Wings, he was asked to look at me after the injury. “Where will I take him? He's not ready. " Then I came to Anji, told him about that story, but he didn't even remember me. Because of this, there was tension - he didn't want me, and his assistant Andryukha Gusin said that I needed to be put on. Gusin spent all the training sessions at Anji. Hajiyev watched the training on TV - that way he could see better.

There was another case - we played with Dynamo. I missed the goal from two meters away and in Sport-Express they wrote: "Sarsania's friend forgave Sarsania's team."

- Did Sarsania remain your agent until the end of your career?

After Rubin, I stopped communicating with him. He just called: "Come here, come there." It only made me worse. His father still works with him, because he is very faithful. He and Smolentsev called to "Monaco" - does not go.

- Where did you get the biggest salary?

In Vladivostok. There were big premiums too. Once, for a home draw with Dynamo, each was given twenty thousand dollars. We drew Zenit during the flood, when it was water polo, not football - we got twenty-five each.

- What are you doing now?

I graduated from football three years ago, traveled for a couple of years, there was no time before. Bali, Maldives - it's boring, you lie like an amoeba, but I like to swim under water, to drive a jet ski.

For more than six months I have been working in the FMS, a service that no person can do without. Everyone calls and asks for help with citizenship. The director of "Monaco" Yevgeny Smolentsev recently asked a Ukrainian player to help him get the citizenship of the Russian Federation, because a Russian club wants to buy it. I also play hockey with actors at Yantar. Basharov, Inshakov, Matrosov, Merzlikin. Maxim Konovalov from Boomer brought me to this team - we have a common friend in Tambov. Marat Basharov plays ice hockey best of all, he used to be a professional hockey player.

- Where did you meet your wife?

In Latvia. The wife is Latvian. The son has dual citizenship.

- Were you invited somewhere besides the FMS?

Once I went to the Skylink office on 1905 Street, and there Kolyukha Pisarev was sitting there. "Come to me - to the Russian national beach soccer team." - "No, not mine." I was still playing in Bryansk then.

I also wanted to open my own school in Khimki. I had friends here in the administration. The deputy governor offered to open a school, but they did not have time - he was fired, although he worked here for ten years.

- How did the option with the Federal Migration Service come about?

I have many friends in the organs. They always suggested: "When you finish, come to work in the police." But i don't have legal education, but in the FMS it is not particularly required, only the chief. I work as a deputy chief. Three hundred people walk a day - each with their own negative, passports, citizenship, residence permit, you get tired more than after training. Some energetic vampire will come in - and that's it, after that you can't work at all. In our area there are two hundred thousand, and in our office there are four people.

Oleg Ivanov stopped by recently. His children had to be entered in the passport. Says: "I was called to the national team - probably for show." - "Come on, you will play." I told him: "In our time, we did not run on the FMS - everyone did it to us."

Denis Romantsov

http://www.sports.ru/tribuna/blogs/soulkitchen/795203.html

, "Anji", "Khimki" without concealment revealed to the readers all the ins and outs of the national championship.

Among the most important accusations of Streltsov, now working in the Federal Migration Service, was the statement that the ex-head coach of Rubin Kurban, for whom the footballer played in 2003, took money from the players for getting into the squad.

“He told Kostya (the player’s agent Konstantin Sarsania. - Gazeta.Ru):“ As soon as the amount is given, we must give a part. ” I say, "Not a question." I trained, sat in theoretical classes, but did not play either for the double or for the base. I called Kostya: "What the hell?" - "Now you will receive the amount, give it to him and you will play." I gave the money, but Berdyev still would not let me out. He referred to the fact that I played softly in training, "- said Streltsov.

According to Andrey, money from the players for a place in the lineup was taken not only by Berdyev, but also by Valery Petrakov, whose last place of work is the Moscow Torpedo. Allegedly, when he was a coach of Bryansk “Dynamo”, the coach demanded a “kickback” from Streltsov, but he flatly refused to give the money and soon left the club.

Petrakov was the first of the persons involved in the scandalous interview to declare his desire to sue the former ward and "punish him for libel."

Soon other heroes of Streltsov's stories told about a similar desire. Omari Tetradze, another coach, Andrei accused of aiding the Georgian players, and also told about a fight with a specialist that happened when he worked in Makhachkala "Anji".

Streltsov reproached his agent Konstantin Sarsania for wanting to cash in on the players. According to the player, Sarsania tried to arrange for him as many transfers as possible in order to earn money from the percentage of transfers.

Finally, Streltsov accused the ex-president of Spartak that the functionary did not allow him to go to Italian Milan, asking the Rossoneri for too much money, and the former mentor of the red-and-white Oleg, and of drunkenness.

“When drunk, he puts on black glasses and sits so that it’s not visible. We played once with Torpedo. Romantsev summoned me to replace: "So, Andryukh, you go on the attack" - "I'm actually a defender." - "Yes? OK". As a result, he was released into midfield, ”the athlete said.

Streltsov's interview caused a serious resonance, revealing the dirty secrets of Russian football. However, the rhetoric of the hero of the conversation himself became less and less accusatory. Later in an interview, Andrei did not deny what was said earlier, but answered all questions with obvious caution.

“I'm talking about my experience. When I arrived, it was like this in Kazan. Why not give up when they took you? It's a normal phenomenon ... No, it was as if at the same time ... And what they wrote there that Kurban takes from everyone, he added a little from himself ... Heh. And who said that I gave? " - literally quoted Streltsov "Soviet Sport".

At the same time, Andrei denied the story of the fight with Tetradze, noting that there was only a small scuffle.

A couple of days later, Streltsov's rhetoric changed dramatically. The ex-footballer himself called one of the Russian sports publications and apologized for what was said earlier. The blame for everything was the journalist who interviewed Streltsov.

“I confess, I did not expect that everything I said would cause such a resonance. Only now I realized how wrong I was when I responded to the request of those who persuaded me to give this interview. It is clear that they were pursuing some of their own goals, trying with my help to discredit normal people, - quotes Streltsov "Sport-Express". -

Therefore, first of all, I want to apologize for my words to Konstantin Sergeevich Sarsania, Kurban Bekievich Berdyev, and all those whom I unwittingly offended in my interview. All of them are exceptionally decent people, devoted to football. I declare: I did not give any money to any of them and nobody demanded it from me. And the journalist with whom we spoke did not quite understand me correctly. I myself, in turn, did not bother to check what he wrote. "

Streltsov's explanations, to put it mildly, raise questions. A couple of days ago, he did not deny what had been said before, and albeit with reservations, but fully confirmed all the accusations against Berdyev and the company.

Now the ex-footballer has sharply realized that he was being used for some selfish purposes. Streltsov, apparently, made his statements in delirium. The extreme, as already mentioned, was the journalist, who, it turns out, misunderstood what Andrei said.

It’s interesting how Streltsov could give repeated interviews to the media, confirming his own words in them, if earlier “he didn’t bother to check what he (the journalist) wrote” ... An audio recording of the interview has already been posted so that readers can be convinced of the authenticity of Andrey's statements.

One of the "heroes" of the sensational interview, Konstantin Sarsania, has already accepted Streltsov's unexpected apology, saying that he would ask his colleagues mentioned in the conversation not to take further action.

You can get acquainted with other materials, news and statistics on the Russian Football Championship.

No rollback without rollback?

Football player Andrei Streltsov spoke about how he played for money - he allegedly paid himself to get into the team.

EPISODE ONE. PICKING PLAYERS

It's just that some coaches say right away - must, must, - Streltsov cuts the truth in an interview with Sovetsky Sport, talking about how the players get into the team. - The entire Russian championship knows this. What can I say? So what? As if nobody knows? It's like a bonus for a coach to take a player to a team.

Who is Streltsov who blows up football? Played in major league in Spartak (the same one that was still headed by Oleg Romantsev) and Rubin. Neither in Spartak nor in Rubin it was particularly successful.

The guy is talented, the speed is very high, but he lacked character, - says his then agent, and now coach Konstantin Sarsania.

We ask Andrey Streltsov about the technology of football kickbacks.

- And what did it look like - did you give cash, did you transfer it with a card?

No, they just said, you have to pay to play. And I said - not a question.

- And Sarsania says that you are lying and you lacked character when they took you to Rubin.

Kurban (Berdyev is the ex-head coach of Rubin. - Ed.) Said that I played softly, then and there. And when I started to play hard, I already said something else. They began to remove me from training, and I’m already saying - it’s not serious, we agreed so, but it turned out that way.

So you paid him to get into the squad? If Berdyev sues you tomorrow, how will you prove it? You do not have a video recording, as they gave you?

And who said that I gave?

- So you said before.

I said that they demanded from me - when they give me the nth amount, I must give it back.

- So you didn’t give it away?

So I left Rubin. And they didn’t give me the full amount. I said take it yourself.

- The lifting distance is not completely?

Yes, some were paid, some remained there.

From the editorial board

Andrey Streltsov, having already finished his career, became the star of football in Russia after his interview. At the same time, the ex-player, after loud statements, suddenly starts to play around, smooth out the corners ... If you remove all unnecessary, the picture turns out to be simple - Streltsov did not pay money specifically for each match, but gave some of the lifting money to someone. Rather, the amount was negotiated, but he received less. And the rest, as it were, paid for being taken to the team. By the way, Andrei played only one match in Rubin.

EPISODE TWO. SHARE

The story that happened to Andrey in Bryansk, where he played for Dynamo, is somewhat different.

Some of his agent or someone else came up there and said that you have a big salary, you have to share, ”says Streltsov. - And I say - in the sense of sharing? And he says that we need to share with the coach, all the players share. I say that I have a salary, I will not share. If you want, I say, give it either for rent, or in general, but I will not share.

Who specifically told him that it was necessary to share, Streltsov cannot remember: “Yes, a little man with a mustache. I don’t understand if he’s like a sports director. ”

A word to the coach

But the coach of the then “Dynamo” (Bryansk) Valery Petrakov is threatening with the court.

It's just some kind of mockery, says Petrakov. - You understand, I have not even heard of such a football player Streltsov. I have people who play the ones I trust. If by some parameters a person does not qualify for the main team, believe me, this is not my fault. It is necessary to consult with a lawyer before taking any steps. We will discuss, and, if there is such a need, I will use it, just to punish this person. So that he knows how to publish such statements and make such slander.

EPISODE THREE. ENDURE MENTOR

I remembered the Spartak Streltsov. There, he said, the coach drank. The same Oleg Romantsev, the legend of Russian football.

Romantsev didn’t go into a binge, he just didn’t want to show that he was drinking, ”says Andrey.“ He just wore glasses so that it would not be visible. What is it, just in such stressful situations. Moreover, he has both the national team and Spartak. Anyway, you need to drink. There were a lot of foreigners in Spartak, it was hard. He looked around like that - damn it, he says how to explain something? And I still explained with the translator.

From the editorial board

It is not clear why Andrey suddenly began to reveal the ins and outs of our football. Now he works for the Federal Migration Service in Khimki. It is clear that there is so much in our football. But it seems that once again it will not be possible to transfer the case from the category of rumors to the category of judicial proceedings. Once again there is smoke, but no fire ...

Note that Streltsov played one match with Rubin. The defender played for Spartak in 2001-2002 and became the champion of Russia (2001). He also played for Neftekhimik (2004), Dinaburg (2005), Anzhi (2006-2008, 2010), Luch-Energiya (2008), Khimki (2009), Dynamo Bryansk (2011 ).

"Berdyev did not demand any money"

Andrey Streltsov apologized for the scandalous interview about Russian football.

Former footballer of Spartak, Rubin, Khimki and other clubs Andrei Streltsov apologized for his scandalous interview about Russian football. In it, the athlete, in particular, accused Kurban Berdyev of the fact that the specialist took money from the players for getting into the squad. The latter promised to sue Streltsov for libel

Andrey Streltsov's interview to Sports.ru literally blew up the media sphere in Russian football. The former defender of "Spartak", "Rubin", "Anji", "Khimki" without concealment revealed to the readers all the ins and outs of the national championship.

Among the most important accusations of Streltsov, now working in the Federal Migration Service, was the statement that the ex-head coach of Rubin Kurban Berdyev, for whom the footballer played in 2003, took money from the players for getting into the squad.

“He said to Kostya (the player’s agent Konstantin Sarsania. - Gazeta.Ru):“ As soon as he is given the amount, he must give a part. ” I say, "Not a question." I trained, sat in theoretical classes, but did not play either for the double or for the base. I called Kostya: "What the hell?" - "Now you will receive the amount, give it to him and you will play." I gave the money, but Berdyev still would not let me out. He referred to the fact that I played softly in training, "- said Streltsov.

According to Andrey, money from the players for a place in the lineup was taken not only by Berdyev, but also by Valery Petrakov, whose last place of work is the Moscow Torpedo. Allegedly, when he was a coach of Bryansk “Dynamo”, the coach demanded a “kickback” from Streltsov, but he flatly refused to give the money and soon left the club.

Petrakov was the first of the persons involved in the scandalous interview to declare his desire to sue the former ward and "punish him for libel."

Streltsov reproached his agent Konstantin Sarsania for wanting to cash in on the players. According to the player, Sarsania tried to arrange for him as many transfers as possible in order to earn money from the percentage of transfers.

Finally, Streltsov accused the ex-president of Spartak Andrei Chervichenko that the functionary did not allow him to go to Italian Milan, asking the Rossoneri for too much money, and the former coach of the red-and-white Oleg Romantsev was drunk.

“When drunk, he puts on black glasses and sits so that it’s not visible. We played once with Torpedo. Romantsev summoned me to replace: "So, Andryukh, you go on the attack" - "I'm actually a defender." - "Yes? OK". As a result, he was released into midfield, ”the athlete said.

It is clear that they were pursuing some of their own goals, trying to discredit normal people with my help, ”Sport-Express quotes Streltsov.

Therefore, first of all, I want to apologize for my words to Konstantin Sergeevich Sarsania, Valery Yuryevich Petrakov, Kurban Bekievich Berdyev, Omari Mikhailovich Tetradze and all those whom I unwittingly offended in my interview. All of them are exceptionally decent people, devoted to football. I declare: I did not give any money to any of them and nobody demanded it from me.

Andrey Streltsov: Previously, Spartak played with one touch, now this is not

Streltsov is only 33. He is the 2001 Russian champion with Spartak. Fans will probably remember him from his performances for Anji. But Andrey has already completed his playing career. A few years ago.

"AFTER FOOTBALL I WORKED IN THE PUBLIC OFFICE"

- Nothing has been heard about you for a long time. What did you do with your boots on a nail?
- After completing my career, I worked a little in the structure of the FMS. When the service began to transfer to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I left. Just at that moment my friend came from Kharkov, and we took up the football topic with him.

Articles | How Spartak is being killed. Why do Carrera's players break more often than others?

- Why didn't you immediately take the football path, but chose the civil service?
- I did not try to go somewhere on purpose. There were just good acquaintances who offered to try myself in a new capacity. Without thinking twice, I agreed. I was tired of football and everything connected with it. So that job became something new for me.

- Did you manage to quickly adapt to your new profession?
- Every athlete should be able to do this. I had no difficulties, the management helped me in every possible way. As well as in football club, established relationships in the team. Any structure has a team where everyone helps each other.

- Did the team know that you are a football player, and even a champion of Russia?
- Yes, they did. There was one football in the work book. Many, of course, were taken aback: they say, how so, a football player? They never had this.

- Then, after all, you were drawn to the old craft?
- Certainly. All my life was spent in sports, my whole family is sports. My father worked in the selection department at Zenit and Dynamo. I introduced him to Kostya Sarsania. So he worked with him for a long time. At some point, my father and I talked, and he advised me to return to football, because the civil service is not mine.

I decided to go to the agents. We turned to Alexey Safonov, who suggested how and where to start.

- You are the owner of the legendary football surname. Has it helped you in life?
- Everyone asked if I was a relative of Eduard Anatolyevich. Of course, it's nice when you are compared to the players who have written their names in the history of world football. To say that it somehow helped me? I think no.

“SPORT IS OUT OF POLITICS. MANY UKRAINIANS PLAY IN RUSSIA "

- Why did you choose the agency activity?
- My father works in the selection service and, accordingly, knows the whole of Russia. I sincerely want to help athletes, arrange them. And to carry on with their careers. And not like some: they added it and forgot it. I myself went through all this as a player, so I know what I'm talking about.

- Do you already have success as an agent?
- Yes, my partner Alexander Shekhovtsov and I have done significant work. Some were settled, some have yet to go to the clubs.
