“I am glad that the “Gentleman of the Year” award has existed for almost 30 years” – Artem Rebrov

Former Russian national team goalkeeper Artem Rebrov I am happy that the “Gentleman of the Year” award has been around for almost 30 years.

On Monday, the winner of the “Gentleman of the Year 2023” award was the Moscow striker CSKA Fedor Shalov . In the fan vote, the 25-year-old footballer overtook Lokomotiv midfielder Anton Miranchuk, as well as Fakel defender Igor Kalinin. Then the experts made their choice: 14 experts out of 16 also voted in favor of Chalov. Deputy general producer of Vasily Konov and executive director of MATCH PREMIER Maxim Demkov voted in favor of the military striker.

— The prize is very good, I myself had the opportunity to be the winner, which I am very happy about. There is a lot of memory left. I’m glad she’s been alive for almost 30 years. I remember when I was still a little boy, Andrei Tikhonov and other Spartak players received it. For me, he was an example to follow. I am happy to have received it as well and continue to follow this award. I hope it continues to exist for a long time.

As for Chalov, people chose him. I don’t know him well. Although the guy plays in the opposing team, he has never been involved in any ugly stories. It was therefore not in vain that they voted for him. But I hope that next time the winner will be a Spartak player,” Rebrov told .

Rebrov won the “Gentleman of the Year” award in 2017.

The “Gentleman of the Year” award has been awarded by Komsomolskaya Pravda since 1994. The award is given to football players for their behavior on the field, their attitude towards partners, fans and journalists. In addition, the reason for the jury’s decision may be an act committed outside the field or active charitable activity.
