Since the end of her triumphant performance at the European championship Russian national team only lazy did not mentioned with a sarcastic article or review to our players who post in social networks your pictures on sports cars worth tens of millions, surrounded by pathetic whores who humbly walk in Monaco on 250 thousand euros together and who know everything except one thing – play football.
– Yes how so? – silly people are surprised – they pay their wages in euros, and they…………
Here is the article that you read will probably be the only one where any accusations against the Russian players will not. And not because they’re good guys and great players. No, to be honest, and the players they’re shit, and people. With rotten. And yet, condemn them not for that.
Because if you condemn, then certainly they are not – 22-or 25-year-old boys, true sons of their time.
And here’s why.
Sport is a very special environment and a special life. Especially large sports, professional, the one who waiting for results at the state level.
According to the degree of commitment the athlete is an Olympian or a member of the UEFA Cup or can be fully comparable with the fighter on the front lines, where every second you can kiss your life goodbye. Those of you readers who don’t know what a “great sport”, you can safely believe the author of these lines.
Sport is a life that few people want to live, if you know what it is.
This workout, after which t-shirt you can squeeze into the bucket and hear the sweat pouring stream and gurgling, like water from a faucet.
Is cramping at night, when Wake up and not know what to do to let go, and then a long time can not sleep.
This is the menu that should have a long list of what should not eat and especially not drink.
It’s zero personal life, because no normal family can’t stand almost all the year long absence of the master.
It shouts and insults from the coach, this lack of comfort, model state-owned hotel rooms.
It’s the horror of unexpected bruises or accidental stretching ahead of the competition.
And most importantly – is the worst fear that you will hit the wall and left alone with nothing, no qualifications, no family, no money and no prospects.
You have to feel it yourself to appreciate fully.
Simply put, professional sports is a very thankless and hard work.
But no matter how you were trained, how you were ready for the tournament in a physical and professional sense, no matter how wise and competent your trainer, all this is not enough to win. The competition level of European and world Championships or Olympic games is not ill-prepared and stupid. There are all, or almost all, in no way inferior to you. Therefore, to Win requires something more.
That “something” is not measured nor material goods nor money nor official support.
To Win you need the feeling of the Motherland behind.
Not the fans who get drunk the beer, forgot why they arrived at the stadium, not glamorous girls with the intelligence of stilettos, not silly crafty correspondents with the same silly questions, and a sense of homeland. All! Understanding that you are now very necessary that you win depends on tomorrow million of your countrymen, from the President to the workers! You are now watched by millions of people who are willing to do anything you won! Because your victory is their victory! Win the whole of your country!
All this happens only in one case – when the athlete and his fans equally respect each other when they all equally Patriots of their country.
Not consider themselves patriots and are Patriots!
If the feeling you have – you will not lose NEVER! You may not get the gold medal. But you will fight so that no one will come to mind to accuse you. When you return home you will not have to hide their eyes or to hide from people.
But if this feeling you have – you never will reach! What would be the salary you’re being paid. The lack of a sense of the Motherland impossible to refund any money. It cannot be re-sold. And without this you can not win. This is proven by generations of athletes.
Our football boys are not to blame. Like everything else, they grew up on TV programs, on the slogan “Enrich yourself as you can!”, on the firm belief that “Bablo triumphs over evil!” and without money you don’t need neither your country, nor your family, nor your friends and girls, and that if you don’t have Gelenvagen – you infamous Loch.
What is the history of your country – a set of misunderstandings, of how life is unfair, and 30 years ago it was unfair, and a hundred years ago, and a thousand years ago and that the best way is to get a contract somewhere in the West and have no problems.
Because there is in the world a sort of figurative “Chubais” who had made his life without sport and that this sport does not need a thousand years.
And all the “oligarchs.” And millions of people living on 10-15 thousand rubles a month too. They are not about sports.
Therefore, it is necessary to thank God for his salary and sitting on your ass. Nothing can be changed.
Don’t believe?
And about graduates of the FSB and their solemn trip by Gelandewagen heard?
To present the same trick in the days of the KGB was impossible.
But the KGB worked and defended the country as best they could. And the Soviet players, hockey players, gymnasts, athletes, wrestlers and all others fought and died to death in the fields, stadiums and venues. And won! And cried on the podium. And returned home triumphant.
Modern athletes are similarly alien to patriotism, as it is alien to the modern KGB. Like their sports counterparts, they will be in the service to think about the protection of the country and “the bubble”, which is today – the main and only entrance to high light.
And because Gelandewagen both equally close, and Patriotism are equally incomprehensible and not needed. Even a new national idea. Love can not be!
Those who watched the news of the Icelandic national football team who has seen them return Home who were watching on the screen happy and proud faces and players and their fellow-Vikings – understood what the article was written.
As those who remember the Soviet Union and Soviet sport.
