The former commercial director of "Dnipro-1", Vyacheslav Friedman, talked about Yevhen Seleznyov’s relationship with alcohol.
Vyacheslav Friedman- In his playing days, he could drink a bottle of red wine and the next morning go train. He didn’t hide it. But it’s nothing compared to how footballers drank in the 80s. Veterans told me that they could drink three bottles of cheap Soviet champagne, and in the morning at training, everything would come out, and in matches, they would run around the field, showing outstanding results. So it’s not about the bottle of wine, but about a person’s attitude to work as a whole. Seleznyov was never an alcoholic, but he could drink.
Zhenya is my close friend. He is now married to a girl from my neighborhood, whom I knew since she was a ten-year-old child. As far as I know, one of the conditions of his current wife was that Zhenya quit drinking, and he did it. Yes, he smokes IQOS when he’s nervous, one stick after another, but he generally doesn’t drink, - Friedman quotes, according to "Blik".
