Alexey Andronov - Blokhin: “Health to you, Oleg Vladimirovich! And thank you for a happy football youth!”

Well-known Russian journalist Alexei Andronov congratulated the legendary Dynamo striker Oleg Blokhin on his birthday.

“Today is 70 years (just think!) of the GREATEST PLAYER - Oleg Blokhin! I caught him playing - as a child. Never before (in the archives) or after have I seen such a charismatic footballer. I don't like nostalgia for the scoop, but God, how good it was! Only a clinical idiot could and can not be enthusiastic about his game.

Then Blokhin became a coach. His character is difficult, so not everything worked out. But. I was at the same press conference where he promised to take Ukraine to the World Cup from the first place (Denmark, Turkey and Greece were in the group). And he did it! He was the first to be selected in Europe! And then he reached the quarterfinals!

And also - he is the most direct person. Never verbalized, never fidgeted. Everything, everyone and always spoke to their faces. status allowed.

When Blokhin the coach came to Russia, an amazing story happened. His Moscow played with CSKA Gazzaeva. I commented on this match. At some point, a serious skirmish began on the edge. And Valery Georgich gave out a phrase that became a terrible meme "And who are you, anyway, so fucking"...

Few people on the planet can present themselves in the style of "I am Oleg Blokhin". He can!

Health to you, Oleg Vladimirovich! And thank you for a happy football youth!” Andronov wrote in his telegram channel.
