Famous soccer expert and former Dynamo striker Viktor Leonenko commented on the news of Pavel Shkapenko's death.
"I realized that life began to test me. First Radchenko, and now... When I was playing, Pasha Shkapenko and Prizetko were my best friends. They were close. Although I communicate with everyone, but they were really my best friends.
My friend is gone - the man who really played with his head the best. I think that's an achievement in soccer now. I gave him a nickname - "Chapay". Because Sabo sent Shkapenko and Rebrov and Rebrov went like a son. I do not know how Sergia feels today. I think he owes him a lot. Very much.
Shkapenko was mainly "shoved" and he tried to defend Rebrov somehow. Szabo "shoved" everyone, except me. I didn`t have to do that. I think that today again there won`t be any analysis of the matches, because I`m drunk. I don't know if I'll cry or not, but I think the tears will flow. Here come the tears," Leonenko said in a podcast of his Telegram Channel.
И если бы из его монолога убрать текст про выпивку, то воспринималось несколько иначе. А так вырисовывается повседневный образ Леона.
У человека умер друг,земля пухом и светлая память Павлу Шкапенко.
И помянуть друга - святое дело.
Леоненко мог бы и промолчать,но он просто сказал правду, что напьётся сегодня.
И правильно сделает, если считает для себя нужным поступить именно так, не нам судить его. Несудимы будем.
