Cherchesov always strives to do more than is prepared – Sports Mail.Ru

– The way our country organized the World Cup, how it has been presented to the world, you are proud, "said David Musulbes. – In Brazil, nothing like it was not even close. Take at least security issues. Heaven and earth!

I do not know by hearsay. He came to visit Rio de Janeiro both at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and at the Olympic Games two years later. During the time between these two events, the authorities did work, so that at the time of the Olympic Games, the organization had improved. And during the football tournament, it was really terrible. Here and there, gangs of unruly teenagers. We, fighters, do not intimidate, but this situation has not created a good mood. And look at what the positive things are in these days in Russia the guests from different countries!

Several times, I visited fan zone on the Sparrow Hills. But not during the matches with the participation of the Russian team. Too big is the accumulation of people. Friends said that more than 80,000 people were collected. Broadcast of matches, entertainment programs, food – all elegantly organized.

– Do you have a favorite team?

– "Barcelona". It's been eight years. He was a fan of Manchester United. I flew to the matches of both clubs. "Barcelona" is good because it's one team, despite the fact that it's Messi himself. The game of this team is nice to watch. I like it.

– And still Messi is Messi. Experienced for him during the 2018 World Cup?

– He sympathizes rather. I understood with what ambitions he came to Russia, and finally he never reached the highest peak, which in football is a victory at the world championship.

– And in Russia for a club Are you sicker?

– Unfortunately, no. I sympathized with CSKA when Valery Gazzaev was the head coach, who, like me, came from Vladikavkaz (both were born when the city called Ordzhonikidze – Team Russia) . We met often, we discussed football. To date, we are committed to charity together. In particular, we help children's homes through the "North Crown" foundation.

I know Alan Dzagoev. I like that the guy is always at the maximum on the landscaped lot. It is a pity, at the World Championship in the first game was injured.

– Surely, they also came across with Stanislav Cherchesov, also from North Ossetia?

– Of course. In football, as in the sport in general, I appreciate the professionalism, the ability to surpbad myself to win, the emotion. If there is no character, there is no perspective. Cherchesov has always had a spirit of leadership, ambition, a desire to do more than was supposed to be. We understand that the Russian team, that there is no team for us, is not the strongest at the world championships. Nevertheless, she has already reached the quarter-finals.
