When the journalists got into the locker room of the winners of the Russian Cup in 2007, the team administrator collected fragments from the sticky floor (everything was covered with champagne). The Russian Cup was broken. His leg fell off.
“It's my fault,” captain Dmitry Loskov admitted. - Just came to the locker room, filled with champagne, I set it, and everything cracked.
- This cup costs 120 thousand dollars, - said the representative of the RFU, who got into the locker room. - Now we do not know what we will do. In general, the club should have a copy.
As a result, the broken Cup of Russia could not be put. Football players passed it from hand to hand. But nobody wanted to drink champagne after such a tiring match.
- Is this an important victory? - from the tired Sergey Gurenko it was strongly carried by “Soviet”, and the doctor pulled him for a doping test. - I think that will be more important.
Eldin Yakupovich had fun for a television camera. He held a goblet in his hands, drank alcohol from it and shouted: “Russia is a champion”.
“Come on,” the goalkeeper chanted, albeit completely out of place. Apparently, the study of Russian was noticeably advanced.
“That's it, I'm tired of it,” the goalkeeper suddenly said and gave the trophy to Diniyar Bilyaletdinov. The midfielder looked very tired.
- Why do I need it? he asked Yakupovich.
“Take it, I need to change clothes,” the Swiss explained.
“Dinya, take a sip from the cup,” photo correspondents and cameramen began to ask.
Bilyaletdinov thought for a few seconds, sighed and drank.
“Wow, bitterly,” the footballer grimaced.
Not otherwise Bilyaletdinov mixed up events.
“Is this an important victory?” - from the tired Sergey Gurenko it was strongly carried by “Soviet”. “I think there will be more important ones.”
Anatoly Byshovets was thoughtful, and it seemed he was already thinking about the next round match.
- We completely guessed with the composition of the opponent, carefully analyzed the match with “Moscow” in the first round, - he reflected. - And they knew how the opponent would play.
“Why are you so calm?” - asked him.
Byshovets looked at the questioner with excellence.
“After the break, this calm passed on to the players,” he said.
It is impossible not to quote the coach’s answer to the question to whom he devoted the victory.
“I dedicate victory to football,” said Anatoly Byshovets.
Football on May 27 markedly enriched.
Sergey Lipatov, chairman of the board of directors, looking around the reporters at the locker room, suddenly said:
“Thanks to the players' wives and friends,” and when everyone looked in surprise at the leader, he added. - As well as the press. Thanks to all. Without you, they would not have won this tournament.
“Come on guys, get dressed soon,” he announced in the locker room. - Now you have a meeting with the Minister of Railways. He is waiting for you.
Dmitry Sychev went there with a red-green flag. They decided for a long time whether to carry the fragments left after the goblet and still took the broken trophy with them.
Apparently, as a container.
