Triputen was here

The fate of the football player, who in 2002 was on the famous Gazzaev list, and by 2006, when the hiddink wrote his list, he became almost disabled.

Exactly four years ago in Russia, some believed that the time for great victories began for the football team. Valery Gazzayev was appointed the head coach, who unveiled an expanded list of candidates for the team. It was
59 names, but most of all intrigued by one. “Who is Aleksey Triputen?” Asked the newspapers. PROport correspondents met with Alexei to finally answer this question.

FIRST IN LIFE was interviewed by Dmitry Fedorov for the Football Club, ”begins Aleksey, who in recent years has met with the press only as a reader. - I was still a child, the captain of the Torpedo, a school team that played in the Children's Football League. Then the Berezutsky brothers came to us from Smena, which is in Tekstilshchiki, and then Lesha became the captain, quite, however, deservedly. I transferred authority to him. We and Vasya have been friends since then, by the way. And years later, correspondents became interested in me in connection with this notorious list of 59 candidates for the Gazzaev national team. I remember I bought a newspaper and found my last name on the first page. In addition to the negative, this list, in my opinion, did not give me anything. Everyone just laughed at me - they didn’t play a single game, who it was ... It seems that the bumps rained down on Valery Georgievich, but the return went on us, naturally, because they tried to stab him with our surnames. True, I never took this seriously. He understood that it was not my fault that they included me in this list. The guys and I then laughed ourselves that they simply wrote all the Russian players in it, because the rest are legionnaires: are you Russian? Russian! So you're on the list! And I was interviewed by a Sport Express journalist after playing with the Rostov take, at the gates of which stood Tumilovich. I then scored, and the newspaper wrote that the candidate for the Russian national team scored the goalkeeper of the national team of Belarus. So they pinned me up. Now all this is perceived differently: there is something to remember. If this list weren’t there, there would be nothing to remember ...

15 GOALS FOR THE FIRST WORKOUT . This is probably because Alexei is only 24 years old and he still just did not have time to forget much of what happened to him in his childhood. He remembers, for example, how he came to football as a seven-year-old boy. “I was drawn, and everyone saw it,” Triputen says. - I myself am from the Moscow region, from Kubinka, there was nowhere to seriously engage in football, and I had to get to Moscow by train for one and a half to two hours. And somehow we read in the “Soviet Sport” announcement that they are enrolling in a torpedo school. My father and I began to persuade mom, and in the end she gave up: go, anyway they won’t take it. And we came to the coach Nikolai Ulyanov. There were either 40, or 50 people, and in the game our team won, I remember, 17: 2, and I scored 15 goals. Just stood at the bar and scored into the empty net, while everyone was running for the ball. Didn't even sweat. Apparently, this was what I coach and looked straight at: if you know where to get up, it means the head is working. Out of this crowd, only me and another boy were accepted to school. We arrived home and say: everything, mom, we have a training session on Wednesday! Until 10 years old, my parents took me to classes in turn, took leave from work, and my mother even quit work because of this. ”

CALL Of the graduates of the 1982 Torpedo school of birth, six took the Torpedo-ZIL double, including Triputen, Igor Piyuk and Vasily Berezutsky. The three of them walked hand in hand for several seasons, first playing in the second team, and at the end of 2001 and at the base, at the last game of which CSKA scouts noticed the trinity against Ms Anzhi in Makhachkala. The carmakers that became Army men still held together. “We were a gang,” recalls Triputen, “and in the then CSKA, with its large-scale selection, it was probably easier for us than for other newcomers, especially if they already had some name, because everyone had the same starting positions : work and prove. ” Valery Gazzaev, although he did not recognize a player by the name of Playmaker, he looked at Triputen with interest, finding in him the makings of a good centrhava. “They believed in me, they set me to play,” says Alexei, “but I myself still did not understand that I was in a club with great traditions, that I probably would not have such a second chance. I thought how they put it, and they will put it. But he got into the base less and less and in the second round of the 2002 season he already realized that if I play in CSKA, then - in the double. ”

KNEES OF JESUS . In early 2004, the reserve staff of CSKA was at the training camp in Kislovodsk. There, my cross suddenly broke. For no reason: discovered this when he once woke up in the morning. And he broke at the level of Jesus' knees. For any believing person this sign is not very good, but for a believing soccer player - you yourself understand ... Moreover, it happened on January 7, right on Christmas Day. Igor Piyuk lived with me in the room, we went out and went, I called my parents and shared. Three days later, during a training session, he received a stupid injury and flew out for four days, right on the eve of the Commonwealth Cup. And there the whole leadership gathered, they came up to me, they said: come on, they say, we are looking at you. And I failed this tournament, in general. He made a bad impression. ” Having recovered from his injury, Triputen went to a training camp with the Belgorod “Salute-Energy”. And on February 23 in the control game with the Kursk “Vanguard” - “the rivals spared us, didn’t beat us especially, played without the factory” - he was injured again, out of the blue, literally. Knee.

GOING FOR FLOURS . In less than a year, eight different doctors have consistently studied the left knee of Alexei Triputen. The doctor of the army take Andreev took him to the Central Clinical Hospital No. 1 to his colleague Zubanov for a picture of his knee, which revealed that the patient was absolutely healthy. Triputen began to train with the CSKA double, but the pain did not go away, and Alexei turned to the main doctor Ipatenko. He took him to the head of the surgical department of the Central Clinical Hospital of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Davis, who sent Triputen to a consultation with two specialists: Akhmedzhanov, doctor of the Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, and Lazishvili, surgeon of the Clinical Hospital No. 1. The first identified a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, and the second was sure that the posterior torn. Due to conflicting diagnoses, Dr. Davis decided to "get into" the joint in order to establish the truth and, if necessary, immediately operate the knee. “Everything happened before my eyes,” Triputen recalls. - There is a camera, a TV, the doctor shows me: here is your front cruciform, here is the back, they are intact, your meniscus is torn. I cleaned the meniscus and - everything is healthy! I ask: why is my joint so dangling? Davis began to tell me such stories: perhaps the bunch was torn before, grew together in the wrong place ... I wove such fables! But then I, inexperienced in this part, could believe in anything. ” Aleksey returned to training with an army double and, as instructed by Dr. Ipatenko, pumped his leg in the gym to fix a loose joint. For six months he squatted with a barbell, but his knee hurt even more. Tired of fiddling with a young player, the basics doctor once told him: "Yes, you have pain in the head, not in the knee." Triputen went to the Voronezh Fakel, where club doctor Guskov tried unsuccessfully for two weeks to treat him. And then the sports director of CSKA Vladimir Salkov, who took an active part in the fate of the young player all this time, brought him together with Mikhail Marguart, who helps treat Russian football players in German clinics. “Misha got me to the Eden Reha hospital near Munich,” says Alexey, “and realizing that I was going at my own expense and I didn’t have much money, it helped me to get a good discount.” There Triputenia was diagnosed in just a minute: a complete rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament. On the same day, Aleksey was operated on by Dr. Strobel, who also discovered chondromalacia (damage to the cartilage of the knee joint) that developed due to “pumping” of the leg with a torn ligament. The postoperative period lasted seven months, four of which Triputen just lay in bed. And in the summer of 2005 he again went to the Eden Reha clinic for rehabilitation.

PERSONAL COACH JENS NEWS. Many Russian football patients, however, travel to Germany at a different address: the famous Dr. Pfeiffer clinic in Leverkusen.
“In the Munich clinic, Dr. Pfeiffer is reserved,” says Triputen. - They explained to me: you know, here we have specialists in ligaments, and there are meniscus specialists. And Dr. Pfeiffer operates on everything: ligaments, and feet, and shoulders, and even teeth can be repaired. My doctor and I go online. He says to me: “Look, Dr. Pfeiffer. Found 400 pages. And now we enter my name: three links ... ”And this specialist in Germany is one of the best, he had such stars treated! Together with me, for example, Jens Nowotny and Jan Koller were restored. People with such injuries are being put on their feet ... The same Novotny had six operations on his knees, he doesn’t have any of his ligaments, and now he was in the national team at the World Cup. I remember I almost injured him once. We did a pair of warm-ups with him, threw balls at each other. And then the trainer says: “And now we do the mirror exercises - one shows, the other repeats.” Jens didn't bother me much: a hand to the right, a hand to the left ... And then my turn came. And as I went to drive him, I tumbled ... He already prayed: listen, you just don’t do somersaults! Well, nothing, Jens recovered, I pulled him a little bit. " On February 23, 2006, during his third visit to Eden Reha, and, by mystical coincidence, exactly one day a day two years after being injured in the game for Salute, Dr. Strobel announced to Triputeni that the continuation of a football player’s career could threaten him with disability: cartilage in the knee joint was erased to the third, penultimate stage. On the fourth they simply will not be.


MOTOR SALES MANAGER.
The Yandex search engine, when prompted by “Alexey Triputen,” refers to Elektropromremont LLC, in which a person with the name and surname of our hero sells three-phase asynchronous electric motors of any power. Even taking into account the small prevalence of the surname, it is believed, rather, in coincidence. But my interlocutor does not even think of unlocking: “Yes, I am. I was looking for work, my friends helped me get a job at Elektropromremont - selling engines. I didn’t know what motors and transformers are, I didn’t know how to find customers and make new contacts, sell, or “pair” something. I am very grateful to Roman Leonov, our director, who did not press me when I made mistakes. I learned a lot: I learned all basic computer programs, I mastered the ten-finger blind typing method. But time passed and realized: this is not mine. " The wife of Triputenia Catherine from the very beginning knew that this would happen. “Lesha told me: I want to become a manager, I want to sit in the office like the others. And I answered him: no, you do not want. You don’t even imagine what kind of work it is, ”she says. “Yes, I just hated football so much that I couldn’t even think about it,” Alexey said. “Sports newspapers both read every day and read. NTV Plus, with its sports channels, was barely disconnected. Well, here, however, financial considerations influenced, ”the wife counters. While Alexei was healthy, Triputeni did not rush with money - they saved up for an apartment and managed to get it before that ill-fated day. “I did not lose hope,” Alexey revives. - Thought, maybe, to sell an apartment? Or is it better to turn in and save for a new operation? And also, perhaps, to borrow - again with Lesha Berezutsky? ”“ Yes, when we collected the debt from Lesha, he refused to take it, ”says Katya. “They even threatened him: if you don’t take it, we will take it to Vasya!”

WORD OF THE PASTOR. Back in 2005, wandering from clinic to clinic, but not even close to letting in the thought of ending his career, Alexei Triputen went to Pafnutiev-Borovsky Monastery, where, as he found out, the "sighted" archimandrite known throughout Europe served. “I just went in, said nothing, and he tells me - you have a problem with your knees, you can’t play football, otherwise you will become disabled. And I came to him to tell me that everything is fine with me! Even a little offended by him: how so? Besides football, I don’t know anything else. Well, he tells me, go try the coaches. ” Aleksey Triputen, as a believer, listened to himself and realized: football, which was sick in it along with an unfortunate knee, was pulling him again. “There is little hope of returning to the field. I want to be engaged with children, - speaks. - I myself have worked with different specialists, I know different training methods, different approaches to the game of football. I can choose. Yes, and I have my opinion on this. He graduated from the Institute of Physical Education in Malakhovka. I bought a book on the physiology of the development of children, I’m trying to understand what exercises they can be given so that, God forbid, not harm. I went to see how children are trained in Dynamo, CSKA and Spartak: I was primarily interested in the experience of communication, because it is still impossible to teach something to a six-seven-year-old child. And you can make it interesting for him to go to training. My knee, in which the front ligament is now torn for some reason, will not hinder the work: I can do some basic things, pass-ball. And I do not give up hope to save up money and be operated on. I’m only 24, but the cartilage is erased ... "
Four years later, the “list of 59” is rarely recalled, as an already unfunny joke on duty. Although Triputen’s friends Berezutsky are probably warm: they took root in the team, without them it is now unthinkable for Guus Hiddink. “I’m afraid of this,” Alexei Triputen tells me goodbye. - If suddenly now Hiddink with the team does not work, then what? As if at that time we didn’t give up on the national team. If the best specialist in the world cannot, then who can? We have no way back. In addition, the younger generation is playing on the team now, my peers, and it is not known when the next one will arrive. By the way, the Berezutsky, I know, are very optimistic about the beginning of this new era, they were really looking forward to it. Haddink dreamed of practicing. So there is no hope. ”
