- Give me a pass, - the Luzhniki guards even at matches of the first division observe an incomprehensible severity, not letting anyone in the locker rooms (although there are absolutely no volunteers). This time, Andrei Kanchelskis, CEO of Nosta, became their victim.
“Now, now,” the former footballer, accustomed to a career overlooking the security guard, began rummaging uneasily in his pockets. Finally, he found the right piece and ran to rejoice at the starting victory.
- Girl, where are you going? - Another security guard rushed across the lady. - The press? The press cannot work here, it is necessary to move beyond the fence.
“Yes, I’m the press officer of Nosta,” Larisa Shilikhina laughed. There are only two women working in this position in Russian football: she and Maria Petrova from Rostov. Angela Biryukova, as it turned out, has no relation to Torpedo anymore. “I go here for two days, but you cannot remember me.”
Shilikhina giggled confusedly in her palm.
Nosta, by the way, was waiting for journalists very much. And perfectly prepared for a possible full house. It’s only a pity that only three reporters — the rest didn’t come — received a lovingly packed daddy, in which were the things necessary in the matter. First of all, a pen. Secondly, the program. Thirdly, a photo of the team. Fourth, the club’s training camp report. And finally, fifth, a notebook for schoolchildren. On the first page is a shot of a football match, and on the last there are “basic laws of algebra”. And if it became boring at the game, then one could study the Identities of Abbreviated Multiplication.
Football was really boring. And even the overwhelming advantage of Terek fans over Nosta fans did not bring revival. There were about three hundred spectators.
The referee from Andreev was remembered in Novosibirsk, after each whistle rushing to the place of violation with the appearance that he was a tough guy from the NHL and wants to punish the offender. Players of the Grozny team did not even dispute the penalty, fearing that the judge would beat them then.
The press conference was also empty. Vait Talgaev sat in the place of Sergei Podpaly.
“Change the plates,” the Nosta coach ordered.
They began to change.
- And the account can not be changed? - the guest from Grozny inquired with hope.
No one dared.
- Why did you decide to play in Luzhniki? - asked Podpaly.
- So it is ... - the coach was embarrassed. - This is generally an extreme option. We worked at the last training camp and did not know where we would be performing.
Therefore, they trained either on a natural field or on synthetics.
Nosta, by the way, won - 2-0.
