Valery Ovchinnikov arrived at the hotel, where the Russians were waiting, about an hour before the appointed time. I ordered black tea. Missed you.
- Valery Viktorovich!
- Oh, hi. How are you?
- Nothing. But the team ... Have you heard about the loss?
- And what?
- How what? Let’s take it, and we won’t win against the Estonians.
“You know ... we are these Estonians ... yes we must do, even if all injured come out.” How so - we won’t win ?! What are you saying?
- All the best are sick. Young people are being taken.
- So what? Young people are normal. They must win in one gate.
Ovchinnikov drank tea with noise, as if the team had already made the Estonians with a dry score. The specialist's hot drink has cooled.
“But Hiddink, if he loses points here, you have to shoot with his headquarters.” Something does not arrive for a long time.
He looked at his watch.
- Later it seems to have flown out.
“The convict is not allowed out,” the interlocutor giggled, but continued seriously. - In Russia, such a specialist who received a real term would have long been eaten. And with us ... Worn with these Dutch.
The one with whom they rush. Guus Hiddink immediately began to refuse to speak. He made all the statements at the airport. The thought there sounded unoriginal: we are not afraid of the difficulties that we have. I would like more soul, but Gus tries not to show that he is alarmed.
He did not announce the name of the captain. Probably due to the fact that everything is not clear with Yevgeny Aldonin. Will he play? Or injury will not allow to enter the field? True, Borodyuk made a cunning face:
“I know who will be the captain.” But I won’t tell anyone.
- Why?
- Later, let's say.
Igor Korneev was not inclined to an interview either.
- After the match, I can say.
- Maybe after the match you generally run away from all the journalists.
- May be.
That is, not everyone believes in a bright victory for our team.
Or just afraid to talk. Evil tongues claim that Igor Semshov was released to treat a cold after an interview with one of the newspapers, where he reported the true reason for the absence of Yegor Titov at the training camp - resentment against Hiddink. And now the rest are reinsured.
Konstantin Zyryanov, who went out in the lobby to change money, refused to talk for other reasons.
- You know, now there are too many everywhere. It is necessary to pause.
- After the end of a career - it's time.
“No, I will not say anything.” Too many interviews have already come out with me. I have these conversations already where they stand.
Midfielder pointed to the throat.
The rest did not comment at all.
