The ceremonial event dedicated to the defeat in the last round of the Russian championship from Dynamo and the overall victory of CSKA in the championship turned out to be very lively. Players of an army club, for example, staged an exchange of T-shirts with rivals. And the audience was left without souvenirs.
Maybe it's for the best. And then Igor Semshov almost provoked a massacre in the Dynamo fans sector, throwing his shirt there. Soldiers and police began to restrain the fans. They tried harder to push law enforcement officers. And the T-shirt fell to the front rows, where it was empty. Many rushed to the souvenir. But only one was lucky. The fan was immediately arrested, but they left him the booty.
Eugene Giner began to descend from the rostrum to the field, along with Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov, dressed in simple jeans and a jacket, and RFU President Vitaly Mutko about a minute and a half before the end of the match.
- Giner, well done! - the fans shouted to him.
In response, he waved his hand.
Vitaliy Mutko refrained from any commentary on the situation (which is a pity), but he tried not to step aside from Minister Ivanov, tracking peripheral vision with the cameras. The head of the RFU immediately climbed onto the pedestal and rejoiced there like a real army soldier all the time while the Minister of Defense made a speech.
Sergey Ivanov decided that since you don’t have to hand in medals, you just need to just pat the players on the shoulder. Near Igor Akinfeev, who had not played, who was waiting for congratulations in a sheepskin coat and hat, he stopped in obvious perplexity. And then he began to joke with Alexei Berezutsky. He stroked the minister's elbow.
When it was announced that the main prize of the championship - a beautiful cup - would be awarded by Vitaliy Mutko, the stadium was humming with displeasure, which really embarrassed the president. But he pulled himself together and gave the trophy to Sergei Ignashevich, who triumphed in worn jeans, because he also did not get into the application for the game.
Then Mutko modestly went down to the grass and watched the joy with which he shook the champion cup with Eugene Giner. The girls brought out champagne, which caused a pleased smile of the army. Goalkeeper Gabulov, having received alcohol, immediately sent a jet to the Minister of Defense and the President of the PFC. They crouched and ran away. The protection of the government official was unperturbed.
- Evgeny Lennorovich, can I have a couple of questions? - the journalists rushed to the happy Giner.
“Yes, of course,” he began. But then he patted his pockets. - Wow, I lost my phone during the award!
Several guards began to look for the device, and Giner watched this already in frustrated feelings. He also answered something to Ivanov, who commented on the salute. Vitaly Mutko was nearby and tried to participate in the conversation.
“Great banging,” he said. - Wow, and now it's great! Cool charged.
Ivanov and Giner did not answer.
Later, when the army president had already put up with the loss, he still answered a few questions.
- You're happy?
- Yes, for the second year in a row, we managed to pick up all three trophies. Here the minister said that this has not happened since 1939. It is hard to become champions, but even harder, it seems to me, to defend this title.
“You were under such serious pressure.” Perhaps the championship is doubly pleasant from this?
- Yes, I do not pay attention! They thought that Porto and Arsenal would also agree now. Everyone agrees with everyone ...
- Who would you single out?
- All the people who were in CSKA.
- Due to the construction of the stadium, will you have enough funds for new players?
- Enough. Enough. Since we all buy, we’ll start to buy a little less. And enough for us.
- Valery Gazzayev remains the coach of CSKA?
- Yes.
