Head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov once paid players of “Terek” (now – “Akhmat ”) bonuses for two matches lost in the fight, the former midfielder of the Grozny team said in an interview with Ruslan Adzhindzhal .
Adzhindzhal played for Terek from 2004 to 2005.
— Did you meet Ramzan Kadyrov when the contract was signed?
– No, there were club leaders who were directly involved in his affairs at that time. However, I met Kadyrov more than once when I was in the team.
What kind of person does he remember?
– I remember Ramzan Akhmatovich as a good and pleasant leader. He came and said what he thought. Again, we had a salary delay. A very rare story for Terek then. I don’t even remember why it happened. And then Kadyrov came and found out. Since then we have never had anything like this, no delays.
Also, I will never forget how we lost two matches in a row, but in a very serious fight. Suddenly, Kadyrov paid bonuses for these two matches! He came to us and said we were great, because we fought and tried to fix the situation, we didn’t lose on the pitch. Imagine it! He entered the position to the max. Not a leader, but a dream for a footballer at that time! It’s all Ramzan.
Have you been to his residence? Sergei Omelyanchuk, who played in Grozny a little later, said that the team was taken there to the concerts of Pierre Narcisse and other stars.
– No. At the same time, all the conflicts in Chechnya had just ended. We were not at the residence. However, I remember how we arrived at Gudermes, where we honored the team after reaching the Major League. In the building where the celebration took place, the floor was changed overnight! Even the smell of paint was. This was done to avoid any terrorist moment. Ramzan and his fans attended this event. There was a concert, gifts were given. Kadyrov also often came to Kislovodsk in our base. I spoke a lot with the team, Ajinjal told .
