A book about Fyodor Cherenkov – Moskovskaya Pravda

“Modest in life, bright on the field – a “man of God”, who cannot be compared with anyone, and who will be remembered for centuries,” said the chronicler of Spartak Boris Duhon about Fedor Cherenkov. Unfortunately, neither one nor the other is with us.

Even if a thousand more books about the national football player Fyodor Cherenkov are published, this will not be enough. Everyone loved him, regardless of club addictions.

The book “Fyodor Cherenkov, as you did not know him” is a story of a classmate who maintained warm relations with the national football player until his death and did a lot to perpetuate the memory. Many people know what the Spartak master was like on the field, but in this essay we are talking exclusively about events outside the green lawn.

Cherenkov not only did everything right on the football field, but also outside the box, stumping opponents with completely unexpected moves, constantly improvising and improving his talent. For all football people, Fedor was like a kid from his yard, who could circle the entire opposing team, demonstrating a cascade of tricks and a lot of tricks peculiar only to him. Fedor Cherenkov’s talent was so great that they began to love him from youth tournaments, continued at the adult level, and “polished” with international matches. That same match with Aston Villa (1983-84 UEFA Cup) with two goals by Cherenkov opened up the talent of a national football player for the founders of football. Brilliantly reading the game, Fedor perfectly understood and supported his partners, supplying them with unique programs. The game of such a nugget as Fyodor Cherenkov glorified and adorned domestic football for centuries.

But in the book “Fyodor Cherenkov as you did not know him” about football itself will be said only in the paradigm of stories outside the green lawn and seven-meter gates. And such books, with such stories that are not about football, but about life in that very game of millions, are very necessary for understanding the greatness of the national football player – Fedor Cherenkov.

The book “Fyodor Cherenkov as you did not know him” will be presented to readers by: Alexander Belyaev, Alexander Gubanov, Igor Vasilenko, Alexander Zaitsev, Georgy Morozov, Vladimir Nevizhin, Alexei Chernikov. Photos in the book: Fedor Kislyakov, Vladimir Sabadash, as well as from personal archives.

Probably the main thing in the book that you need to know about Fyodor Cherenkov:

He found the meaning of his life in football,
He played on the ground, as he hovered in the clouds.
He knew how to any opponent in the field
Just one trick to leave in the cold.
As long as we remember, Fedor Cherenkov is ALIVE!
