"Smolov can be Lukashin": football experts about the New Year, the desire of Fedun and Buzova as the Snow Maiden

- Who in Russian football has the same beard as Santa Claus?

Sergey Juran: 

It's hard to find a player with a beard.

Samuel Gigot, I guess.

He is even more Santa Claus, since he still has a smaller beard.

Alexander Mostovoy: 

Zhigo is probably the only RPL player with a suitable one.

There is also Georgy Dzhikia, but he is less similar.

I would even mention Stanislav Cherchesov, but he does not have a beard, but only with a mustache.

- Who is the main Snow Maiden in national football?

Yuri Semin:

 Alsu Abdullina, who moved to Chelsea from Lokomotiv.

Valery Nepomnyashchy:

Olga Buzova in an interview with Dmitry Guberniev during Euro 2020.

At that moment, she had a significant impact on the popularization of football in the country

.

- 2021 according to the eastern horoscope was the year of the metal bull.

Who can be called that?

Mostovoy:

 Artyom Dzyuba, he deserves it.

Most of the dirt was poured on him.

But he keeps his position, remains calm and does not give in to provocations.

Semin:

 Igor Akinfeev, because he is impenetrable and persistent.

- 2022 will be the year of the black water tiger.

Who can deserve such a title?

Juran:

 For me, definitely Akinfeev.

Because of his dexterity.

Nepomniachtchi:

 I'll name Mario Fernandez.

I like him very much, and I would like to note his high-speed qualities.

- Which of the players will fit most of the Olivier salad?

Juran:

 In Andrey Yeshchenko, he is quite strong.

You can also remember Ilya Kukharchuk from Khimki.

He is also a fan of eating a lot.

Semin:

 Surely, Dziuba will eat the most.

He's just healthy enough.

- Who can be called the main Christmas tree of the country: beautiful, wooden and with a star?

Juran:

 Ilya Lantratov.

Tall as a tree, handsome guy.

And the fact that it is wooden ... The goalkeepers do not really need equipment.

The main thing is that he deflects shots and regularly rescues Khimki.

Semin:

 It may well be the goalkeeper.

For example, Matvey Safonov from Krasnodar.

The most elegant.

- Whose motivational speech on January 1 will make you get out of bed at nine in the morning?

Mostovoy:

 The words of absolutely any coach are capable of this.

In my career, I was lucky not to hear anything like it at such a time.

Nepomniachtchi:

"Get up, this is a huge country, get up to fight to the death."

I mean the call of the coach preparing the national team for the match with Poland.

Naturally, Valeria Karpin.

- If the players were forced to train on New Year's Eve, then ...

Juran:

 ... the training would go off with a bang.

Mostovoy:

 They would not feel well the next day.

Half would not have been able to wake up and get out of bed.

Although, when I played in Europe, there was always training on January 1st.

Therefore, if at night someone allowed himself to drink champagne or a glass of wine, he had to be ready for the lesson, since the official matches resumed in a couple of days.

- Who is ideal for the role of Zhenya Lukashin and Ippolit from The Irony of Fate?

Yuran:

 Fyodor Smolov can be Lukashin, he is also, for sure, capable of leaving somewhere on New Year's Eve.

Ippolit - Jikia.

Nepomniachtchi:

 Yuri Pavlovich Semin is quite suitable for the role of Ippolit.

I hope he will forgive me for such a comparison

.

But he is a real hero, he still works.

Lukashin - Murad Musaev.

- With whom of the Russian footballers is it not worth going to the bathhouse every December 31, so as not to fly away?

Juran:

 Not worth it with Dzyuba.

With him, you can fly anywhere, he is a groovy guy, he will be quite ready to suddenly break off somewhere.

Nepomniachtchi:

 With Denis Glushakov.

- What song for the New Year would you like to hear from Leonid Slutsky?

Mostovoy:

 None.

Let him do the business that fate has given him.

Nepomniachtchi:

 Something from the repertoire of The Beatles will do for Rubin's mentor.

Lyonya deserves to be associated with just such a group.

- What drink do Pavel Mamaev and Alexander Kokorin use for the New Year?

Juran:

 Now, probably, compote

.

In general, something more serious.

Whiskey.

Semin:

 They love champagne.

Surely, they will not cheat on themselves.

- What gift will Ivan Sergeev find under the tree after moving to Zenit?

Juran: The

 gas tap, from where financial well-being will pour in.

Mostovoy:

 A bag of money.

- How many tangerines are able to catch and fix Akinfeev, if he does not let go of them?

Mostovoy:

 Three.

More is unlikely to be able to hold in your hands.

Nepomniachtchi:

 It doesn't matter how much, but it will catch everything - 100%.

- What wish will Leonid Fedun make on New Year's and will it come true?

Juran:

 About the change of coach and the championship.

And whether it will come true is a big question.

Semin:

 It is difficult to guess, but, for sure, it will come true.

It's too late to think about Spartak's championship this season, it should have been done earlier.

Perhaps he will ask for a victory in the Europa League.

- Which footballer will be the first to post on Instagram in 2022?

Mostovoy:

 The one who has social networks, likes, subscribers in the first place, not football.

Semin:

 Dima Tarasov, he is the best promoted on this social network.

- Who will Vladimir Bystrov call immediately after the chimes and say: “Hello, this is Volodka”?

Juran:

 Sergei Semak.

He always expresses his dissatisfaction with Zenit's game to him.

Again he will correct the coach.

Nepomniachtchi:

 Andrei Arshavin or Magomed-Shapi Suleimanov, to whom he addressed with this famous phrase.
