“The student must surpass the teacher”

After the next defeat of Lokomotiv, the cup against Dynamo, the railway workers did not make noise in the locker room. And with a welcoming speech no one came to them. And Anatoly Byshovets at the press conference was good-natured and praised Andrei Kobelev.

Loko again surprised with the form. Finally, the club abandoned the wild combination of green T-shirts and red underpants, because of which many hastened to call the team “acidic”. This time the railroad entered the field in more decent outfit. The cowards remained unchanged, but the shirt turned red, but only half. One sleeve and back remained green.

“Our fans came up with the shape design,” said Alexander Udaltsov, the club’s press attaché.

- And a lot of such ideas?

“No, this last one,” he sighed. It is possible that with relief.

After the match, catch-up began again. Journalists ran after the players, and they carefully avoided them.

Dmitry Khokhlov, the author of the winning Dynamo goal, openly waved his hand and said that he did not need anything. Although he was not offered anything. Faster out of sight disappeared and the other leaders of Dynamo, except Karchemarskas and Kolodin. The latter managed to mark the phrase:

- We would be happy with 0-0. But since it happened ...

The Lokomotiv players entered a bus in a very dense group and were silent, like partisans in interrogation or in ambush. Dmitry Sychev, however, stopped near the children and, not without pleasure, signed autographs. He got a pen on paper the first time, which could not but cause surprise.

In general, in the locker room "Loco" were quiet and grace. Yuri Semin did not go, there was no other bosses either. True, the players were sitting there for an hour. It remains to be hoped that they were a little ashamed of how they played.

“What took you so long?” - asked Emir Spahich.

“Yes,” the legionnaire averted his eyes. - While washed, while yes. There was no analysis.

He was not supposed. Anatoly Byshovets came to the press conference hall with the appearance of a man who had already reached the final of the Cup of the country. When it was announced: “The word is given to the guests,” he flinched a little.

“Perhaps we can say that I am a relative guest at Dynamo,” the coach smiled indulgently. - That's how I am a ten-year-old at Dynamo.

“Yes, yes, we remember him when we were little,” grandmothers from the stadium whispered in the corner. “Not a bit changed.”

Byshovets paid no attention to this and completed a brief analysis of the match (“they didn’t succeed, they didn’t strengthen, they didn’t score”) with congratulations to Andrey Kobelev:

- The student must be superior to the teacher.

Probably, the leadership of Lokomotiv rushed to study who else Anatoly Fedorovich was in his students.
