Mikhail Boyarsky People's Artist of Russia – FC FC Zenit in the Zenit project my fate

The theater and cinema actor, who starred in a huge number of films and TV shows, the singer and TV presenter are rooting for Zenit for many years and misses home matches only under pressure from circumstances. In 2007, Mikhail Sergeyevich said that if his beloved club becomes a champion, he will not part with The scarf was a whole year, and the promise was held, appearing in the Zenit Rosa even at official receptions.

In childhood, other boys and I went to frankly risky adventures – we climbed the abandoned catacombs, climbed onto the roofs of houses along the fire stairs, walked on the first ice. But they also played football constantly. At any time, anywhere in the yards, at school at breaks. We drove the ball, and the teachers drove us. Then, in the second half, dad first brought me to the stadium. Zenit played with Spartak, won confidently, and I could still not understand why the fans call one of the opponent players – it turned out that Igor Neto had such a nickname. The incredible noise of a crowded stadium, crazy emotions of adult men – I treated all this with great interest.

Then we started going to football with the boys. They penetrated the stadium, hiding in a column of firefighters or soldiers, sometimes they jumped through the fence – it was very exciting. I visited the matches of not only Zenit, but also the Admiralty – a team that existed in Leningrad for a short time. Well, later, when he made friends with Seryozha Migitsko and Vitya Reznikov, trips to the stadium became constant. Thanks to Reznikov, I continued to play myself. In the beginning, Vitya brought me to the team of artists Starko. We went to Wembley and Germany, played with television, with the government, with customs officers, and I scored my only goal against the President of Kalmykia Kirsan Ilyumzhinov.

Football is a passion, and at the stadium you find yourself in another world. It's like going to a bathhouse with men. There are special conversations, everything is equal here, here is a wonderful company and for two hours you are free from everyday problems. I am a gambling person, but I try to control emotions during the match. Especially after he ripped off his voice a couple of times and played the performances hoarse.

It is known that many actors draw up a schedule of their performances taking into account the calendar of football matches. I am one of them, but sometimes the pads still happened. In such situations, either Migitsko found out an account by phone, or we put a small TV in the dressing room. And once we were assigned a performance when Zenit took Bavaria in the semifinals of the UEFA Cup. Serge and I thought for a long time what to do.As a result, we agreed with a friend’s friend that they would provide us with a mileage, the performance began earlier and reduced the interval. We managed to the stadium on time, all the goals saw!

Often they ask me a question who is my favorite player at Zenit. But is it like asking who you like more – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison or Ringo Starr? I love the Beatles! The same thing here. I am rooting for the team, and not for individual players, although with many people personally know. With Migitsko, we often performed in front of the Zenitites with comic numbers, I am friends with Tymoshchuk, with Kerzhakov, we celebrated the New Year in the same company. From Glory Malafeev, I interviewed for the project of the newspaper “Our Zenith” “Stars Talking”. But Migitsko communicates more with the players. He is very contact, he can call them, invite them to the performance, and the guys adore it.

Many actors from those whom I know are fans of other teams. There is no antagonism between us and cannot be. Friendly dive is the maximum. When the same Muscovites come to Petrovsky and sit next to me, I know that we will find a common language. It doesn’t matter which team you are sore for, it is important that you are winging for football.

The most important matches for me are those in which Zenit shows character and will. When the team seems to be losing, the people during the break are crazy in the direction of the buffet, and then the situation on the field changes sharply, and we win. And, of course, do not forget those games that brought us trophies. In Manchester, after the final of the UEFA Cup, I was happy.

If the team loses, the mood, of course, spoils very much. And then the concierge in the front door will ask: “Well, how are you, Mikhail Sergeyevich,!” But time passes, and I leave, I begin to wait for the next match. Real fans with the team are related, and relatives must be loved as they are.
