Dziuba rights: Emery – trainer

Unai Emery – the highest paid coach of the League 1. His salary is 450 thousand euros per month. The closest pursuer, Zhardim from Monaco, gets a whole hundred less. Emery all the time advertises Qatari money and his own bosses. Perhaps that is why he was not fired yet. He sags under the stars, but then he spoils his life. In “PSG” created a team to win the Champions League. It is a pity that the trainer for her was never found.
PSG lost to Real Madrid by two goals. Unai Emery – the main culprit of the fact that now the European team prospects are again under big question. There is no time for dramatic changes, so you have to live with it.
In the match with Real Madrid, the PSG head coach made two controversial decisions:
1) Instead of Thiago Silva, Presnel Kimpemba was based. And to the 22-year-old defender, there are no complaints about the match. Under him, PSG won 21 games out of 22, in which Kimpembe appeared from the first minutes. See you in “Real”, of course. Here Kimpembe did not succumb to dedication even to Ramos. Continue reading

What is it – to root for the team, which is long gone

“My life changed dramatically on May 6, 2006, on the day of Saint George, which is highly revered in Ossetia. On this day, Stavropol Dynamo and Alania (1: 3) played in the second league. The elder brother Gregory brought me to the match. From that moment on, my heart turned to Ossetian tricolor, and my favorite colors were red and yellow – in honor of the club.
The fans pulled a giant “Alanya” football shirt on the fan sector and launched volleys: “Forward“ Alania ”, we are with you!”. I stood in a daze and felt like patriotism overcomes me. Since then, I have shown interest in the Ossetian culture, the republic. I took pride that my father was an Ossetian, and that in 1995 our small mountain republic became the champion of Russia.

I support a team that no one likes.

– Why are Atalanta fans not friends with anyone? – A question on one of the football excursions in Bergamo.
“Historically, it was considered a rejected city, a city in which people were forced to fight for their lives and the right to happiness,” the guide’s emotional response hit everyone.
That phrase is like the image of all Atalanta fans. Milan with two superclubs is located very close to Bergamo, and some tifozy “Rossoneri” and “Inter” mockingly call Bergamo a suburb. But even in such conditions, “Atalanta” fights and defends its identity.
In 2002, in the next issue of Futbol magazine, there was material about the new season of the Italian Championship, and the first team in alphabetical order was Atalanta. Beautiful name, aesthetic coat of arms, favorite black and blue colors – life seemed to lead me to the “Goddess”. Then, as a nine-year-old boy, I just entered the world of football and did not even know how much pain Atalanta would cause me in the future. Continue reading
