Athletistic/Football. On Wednesday March 19, the famous journalist and commentator Vasily Outkin died at the age of 52. In recent months he suffered from atherosclerosis. The cause of death was believed to be a pulmonary embolism. Former Zenit and Russian national team goalkeeper Vyacheslav Malafeev spoke about this.

– I personally knew Vasily, he was a true professional in his field. He had an in-depth knowledge of football, which many commentators sometimes lack. Utkin had incredible intelligence, he knew how to explain every football moment in beautiful Russian,” Malafeev said, as quoted by RB Sport.

On Thursday, March 21, before the match between the Russian and Serbian national teams, there will be actions in memory of Vasily Utkin and a minute of silence.
