The capital “Spartak” successfully started in the Premier League championship, resumed after a pause associated with the World Cup. In a major victory over the Perm “Amkar” took part and the Czech defender of the club, Martin Iranek, more recently, with his national team in Germany . He told Izvestia correspondent Maria Byrdina about his life in Moscow.
Question: After the World Cup, you again plunged into Russian reality. Is such a transition difficult?
Answer: A little strange feeling. Until recently, I witnessed a real football festival with my own eyes. Around the flags, decorated faces of fans. Super! And suddenly I’m already with Spartak in Yekaterinburg at the Russian Cup match. This is, of course, not Germany ...
Question: After returning from the championship from questions, probably there was no hang up?
answer: Yes, how to say ... The guys just asked how are you. Especially no one was asking about anything.
Question: Most athletes from Eastern Europe dream of performing in the West. And you’ve been playing in Moscow for more than two years now and don’t complain about anything ...
answer: Those who scold Russia need to come here at least once. So I'm coming back from training tired, and the city raises my spirits. Everything is so big, beautiful! And traffic jams - what can you do with them ... This is an attribute of a large European city. And with nightlife, you are fine too, the clubs are not bad. I will not even talk about the base. In my last team, the Italian Regina, the conditions were much more modest.
Question: In Moscow you live alone. How do you handle household chores?
answer: Cleaning the apartment, of course, annoys me. Yes, and I can cook pasta at best. But I really like to eat delicious food. Previously, my friend Diana Kobzanova helped me with food (one of the most famous models in the Czech Republic - Izvestia ), but recently we parted. Well, how did they break up ... She broke up with me.
Question: You stand out very much in appearance: mohawk, earrings, tattoos. Do you spend a lot of time on your image?
answer: To be honest, once I even thought about my own stylist. But then I was younger. Now, of course, I do not need specialist advice. I have already developed my own style - let's say I prefer sportswear from Dolce & Gabbana. A mohawk and a tattoo in general bring me luck.
Question: That is, you won’t buy jeans for 500 rubles on the Cherkizovsky market?
Answer: This is excluded. I'm already used to quality, it's hard for me to be content with something less. Although in Moscow, shops are very expensive ...
Question: But you were not always a successful football player with a high salary.
answer: I started earning good money very early. I was then 17 years old, and I played in the Bohemians, which was coached by Vlastimil Petrzhela. And as for the fact that I was not always a successful footballer ... You know, after school I went to college and honestly practiced meat packing practice for 3 years. I got up at 6 in the morning - and there. I don’t know how to explain in Russian what I was doing there. Consider was a butcher.
question: “Spartak” in the slang of fans is called “meat”.
answer: I know. This is probably fate (laughs) .
Question: You give the impression of a very cheerful person. What can drive you crazy?
answer: Actually, it's hard for me to unbalance. Annoying human stupidity, but because of this I will never get into a fight. Well, if the person is stupid, take pity on him and do not touch. After all, any problem can be solved peacefully without bothering. In the end, just laugh it off. I have a cheerful character, I like to make fun of someone. True, in Russia Czech humor is not understood.
