Moscow game “Spartacus” against “Lokomotiv” allows you to count on the highest places in the Russian football championship, a Red and White supporter and ASA fighter told Alexei Makhno .
On Saturday, in the match of the 16th day of MIR RPL, Spartak beat Lokomotiv at home with a score of 5:2, Makhno attended this meeting. “Spartak” with 31 points occupies the fourth place in the standings, eight points behind the leader “Zenith” from St. Petersburg.
— It was 1998. I just started going to school. Our entire childhood at that time was spent “on the street”. We lived for sport and football was an integral part of it. That year I saw the Spartak Moscow match for the first time. It was the game “Spartak” – “Shinnik”, after which our team won gold medals. This moment became fateful for me: I became a member of the red and white family, a fan of the team, then led by the great Oleg Romantsev. Of course, I signed up for the football section, because I dreamed of going out on the very field where Titov, Tsymbalar, Alenichev, Parfenov, Tikhonov and other champions shone.
The years have passed, the stadiums, coaches and players have changed, but I myself have chosen a different path: combat sport. But despite this, my love for football has not faded and it still holds the first place in my heart among all sports. And now, 26 years later, I find myself on the field of my favorite team – but not as a footballer. Honestly, I can’t find words to express the emotions I felt when I was invited. It was a childish delight that, even in my adult life, proved indescribable. It’s more than just a memory, it’s a whole layer of my life that came back for a moment. I am beyond grateful for this incredible gift.
As for the game, I can say one thing: Spartak never stops fighting for the championship title. With such football, such an atmosphere and this courage, I can’t even imagine that the team could take second or third place. This kind of game makes Spartak a real contender for the championship! – Makhno told .
On December 15, during the ASA 182 tournament in Moscow, Makhno will face Belarusian Ruslan Kolodko. All ASA tournaments are broadcast live on and Match! Fighter”.
