You can smile skeptically, shake your head in disbelief, but the best in Russian defense yesterday was Vasin... After he left the field, it became clearly visible.
During the time spent endlessly scolded by the press (not coaches, please note) the defender on the lawn, the Iranians have created a couple of dangerous moments. And here the particle of "everything" is more appropriate than "already". It would be strange if the 25th number of the FIFA rating did not come up with anything at all in an offensive against a team that is almost four dozen steps lower. Even if she is in the status of the hostess of the next championship of the planet. With all the conventionality of such classifications, they give a more or less correct idea of the success of a team in a certain period of time. And the personality of the coach communicates something additional about potential. Not for nothing sir Alex Ferguson saw Carlos Queiroz his heir to Manchester United, and Real Madrid not only wanted, but also appointed his successor Del Bosque... These two strokes, in my opinion, will say exhaustively about the qualifications of a specialist: a wise guy.
Lunev, Rausch and Fernandez - in the national team. And dragging Samedov again
The Russian national team could not beat Iran.
Debutant of the Russian national team Luneva(the game with "Dynamo" does not count) the guys of this very Queiroz puzzled with two aimed strikes in a half. And this is not so much a flaw of the visiting attack as the merit of the local defense.
I dare to assume that the first half at Kazan Arena pleased Stanislav Cherchesova more than the second. From the point of view of organizing defensive actions, he was close to ideal. The defenders of the Russian national team carefully guarded their zones, came to each other's rescue in time, and most importantly, they did not lose concentration for a moment. The person who carried out the operational control of the line on the field was none other than Vasin. The same Vasin, over whom it has become so fashionable to make fun of. "The man-bringing", "the defender-jamb" - what kind of labels have not been hung on him this year. It is stupid to neigh - it is always easier and more fun than trying to grasp the essence of the issue.
It is foolish to deny that Vasin himself took part in creating his own image - a kind of good-natured muddlehead like a typical movie hero Pierre Richard... Several productive lapses - like the spring one in the derby with Spartak - got stuck in the cheerleader's mind, contributed to the birth of a stereotype, memes. The fairness of the latter is questioned by the numbers. Had Vasin really been that bad in his role, all the more comical, he would have lost the trust of the main "directors" long ago and disappeared into the crowd. And they continue to entrust him with the most important tasks, and obviously not out of a desire to once again tickle themselves (and those around them at the same time) nerves.
International statistics speaks about the importance of Vasin for modern CSKA. If in the Russian league Victor Goncharenko periodically gives the Leningrad namesake a respite, then in the European exploits to the fullest. Vasin played all six matches of the current Champions League from start to finish. If you want, consider this as confirmation of the poverty of the team cage. I see this as another evidence of coaching confidence. Otherwise, Goncharenko simply would not have let him go on another lease. Chernov, more Don Fabio noticed and welcomed, and more often a veteran Ignashevich disturbed (in a good sense of the word).
If Goncharenko - in theory - can still be suspected of a slightly more affectionate attitude towards the employee in the previous organization than to the rest, then Cherchesov's critics of Vasin have nothing to show. Stanislav Salamovich had never dealt with him before and, I admit, only met in the national team. And it causes. And, moreover, it plays at the base. Do you believe in the simultaneous clouding of the mind in two strong, adult, analytically minded men? Me not.
In 2017, Vasin missed only one test match of the national team in the FIFA standings - the first against Cote d'Ivoire. In the next nine I came out: with different partners, but invariably from the first minutes. Having discovered the name of the "army man" in the protocol once again, the fans of other clubs were outraged: what else does Vasin need to do to get into the reserve? After all, it was he, Vasin, who didn’t spot the nimble Korean strikers on Saturday at Peschanka and, accordingly, allowed the spirit-lifting score of 4: 0 to turn into a more banal one - 4: 2. Himself, alone. “Excuse me, have I ruined the chapel too? "No, that was before you, in the XIV century."
Alexander Kokorin is in the national team again. Review of football social networks.
It is significant how Cherchesov reacted to the new wave of criticism against Vasin. He again put him in the starting line-up and thereby confirmed the credibility of the “army man”. And this half, the first against Iran, Victor worked well. Then he left, giving the opportunity to show himself to competitors. And the defense of the Russian national team, which had been knocked down quite well before, instantly stratified. Review the goal Azmuna- this is a chain of technical and positional errors.
If Stanislav Cherchesov still had doubts about the configuration of the defensive block, then the October tests should have dispelled them. While on the flanks the tests will continue until the official starts, in the center, the main three more or less loomed out - Vasin, Kudryashov, Jikia(five joint exits at the start per year). And the role of the leader in it, responsible for the start of the attack, will most likely be delegated to the "army man".
This option has both pros and cons. Any coach would like to have a pronounced, charismatic leader at the heart of the defense - like Ramos, Pique, as a last resort Vasily Berezutsky... Vasin is different. But who said that a leader in spirit must be "the most central"? The temperamental southern guy Jikia will ignite partners from any position. Vasin's trump card is equanimity. The task of coaches is to make sure that this advantage turns into a disadvantage as rarely as possible.

Victor V. Vasin(October 6, Leningrad, RSFSR, USSR) - Russian footballer, central defender of CSKA Moscow and the Russian national team.
Career
Early years. Spartak-Nalchik
A pupil of the St. Petersburg Smena, where he initially played as a defensive midfielder. But shortly before the release, it became clear that his data is more consistent with the position of the central defender. By the time of his transfer to Spartak-Nalchik in 2006, Viktor saw himself only in this role. Zenit took players from Smena for viewing, but Viktor, who did not want to "impose", never received an invitation, so the player's agent was looking for options for his employment. Going to see the Nalchik club, Victor only found out on the last day which team he was going to. Since 2008, the footballer began to play for the main team, where he played, replacing the injured Miodrag Djudovic. In 2009, Vasin moved on loan to the first division club Nizhny Novgorod, for which he played 31 matches and scored one goal. After that Victor returned to Nalchik, despite the desire of Nizhny Novgorod to buy out his contract. There Victor replaced Alexander Amisulashvili, who had left the team. Overall, I had a successful season, earning a call to the national team.
CSKA
On January 13, 2011 he signed a contract with CSKA Moscow. Soon after the transition, Vasin received a serious injury - an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament. On January 24, the player underwent surgery. Vasin held the first training session in the general group only on May 27, 2011. On May 29, Viktor was included in the application for the game with Kuban, but did not take part in the match. Shortly thereafter, he had problems with his knee again and he started training only in October, but he never appeared on the field. Having recovered from his injury, at the training camp in Spain he played in a friendly match against free agents, in which he scored a goal. He made his debut for CSKA on April 28, 2012 in the game against Spartak Moscow, replacing the injured Vasily Berezutsky at half-time. The match score is 2: 1. In the three remaining matches of the season, he appeared in the starting lineup and looked pretty reliable.
On July 14, 2014, Victor transferred to Mordovia Saransk on loan until the end of the 2014/15 season. He made his debut in a new team on August 2, 2014 in the first round of the championship against Ural Yekaterinburg. He entered the field in the starting lineup and played the entire match. Vasin got a foothold in the main team. On September 13, in the seventh round meeting against Lokomotiv Moscow, he scored his first goal in the Saransk team.
In the national team
On August 11, 2010 he played his first and only match for the youth national team of Russia against the Latvians. In November 2010, he was called up to the main team for a friendly match with the Belgians and came on as a substitute in the 46th minute. First, Victor heard about an invitation to the national team from friends and took their words for a rally, but by opening the Sport-Express website, he made sure that he really became a candidate for the national team. According to Victor, "at that moment his emotions could not be described with censorship words." I played unsuccessfully in the match, making gross mistakes. One of them led to a goal scored by Romel Lukaku. The second call to the main national team of the country happened in November 2015 - Vasin played against the Croatian national team (1: 3).

An excerpt characterizing Vasin, Viktor Vladimirovich
After thanking Anna Pavlovna for her charmante soiree, [a charming evening] the guests began to disperse.Pierre was awkward. Fat, taller than usual, wide, with huge red hands, he, as they say, did not know how to enter the salon and was even less able to get out of it, that is, before going out to say something especially pleasant. Moreover, he was absent-minded. Rising, instead of his hat, he grabbed a three-cornered hat with a general's plume and held it, tugging at the sultan, until the general asked to return it. But all his absent-mindedness and inability to enter the salon and speak in it were redeemed by an expression of good nature, simplicity and modesty. Anna Pavlovna turned to him and, with Christian meekness expressing forgiveness for his trick, nodded to him and said:
“I hope to see you again, but I also hope that you will change your minds, my dear Monsieur Pierre,” she said.
When she said this to him, he didn’t say anything, he just bent down and showed everyone once again his smile, which didn’t say anything, except this: "Opinions are opinions, and you see what a kind and nice guy I am." And everyone, and Anna Pavlovna, involuntarily felt this.
Prince Andrey went out into the hall and, putting his shoulders to the footman who was putting on his cloak, listened indifferently to the chatter of his wife with Prince Hippolytus, who also went out into the hall. Prince Hippolytus stood beside a pretty pregnant princess and stubbornly looked straight at her through his lorgnette.
“Go, Annette, you’ll catch a cold,” said the little princess, saying goodbye to Anna Pavlovna. - C "est arrete, [Resolved,]" she added quietly.
Anna Pavlovna had already managed to talk with Liza about the matchmaking that she was up to between Anatole and the sister-in-law of the little princess.
“I hope for you, dear friend,” said Anna Pavlovna, also quietly, “you will write to her and tell me, comment le pere envisagera la chose. Au revoir, [How the father looks at the case. Goodbye,] - and she left the hall.
Prince Hippolyte went up to the little princess and, bending his face close to her, began to say something to her in a half whisper.
Two footmen, one a princess, the other his, waiting for them to finish speaking, stood with a shawl and a coat and listened to them, incomprehensible to them, French talk with such faces, as if they understood what was being said, but did not want to show it. The princess, as always, spoke smiling and listened laughing.
“I’m very glad that I didn’t go to the envoy,” said Prince Ippolit: “boredom… It's a wonderful evening, isn't it, wonderful?
“They say that the ball will be very good,” answered the princess, pulling up her lip with a mustache. “All the beautiful women of society will be there.
- Not all, because you will not be there; not all, ”said Prince Ippolit, laughing joyfully, and, seizing the shawl from the footman, even pushed it and began to put it on the princess.
From embarrassment or deliberately (no one could make out this), he did not give up for a long time when the shawl was already put on, and seemed to embrace a young woman.
She gracefully, but still smiling, pulled away, turned and looked at her husband. Prince Andrew's eyes were closed: so he seemed tired and sleepy.
- You are ready? He asked his wife, looking around her.
Prince Hippolyte hastily put on his coat, which, according to the new, was longer than his heels, and, getting confused in it, ran to the porch after the princess, whom the footman was putting into the carriage.
- Рrincesse, au revoir, [Princess, good-bye,] - he shouted, confused by his tongue as well as his legs.
The princess, picking up her dress, sat down in the darkness of the carriage; her husband was adjusting his saber; Prince Hippolytus, under the pretext of serving, interfered with everyone.
- Pa, sir, sir, - prince Andrei turned dryly and unpleasantly in Russian to Prince Ippolit, who was preventing him from passing.
“I’m waiting for you, Pierre,” said the same voice of Prince Andrey affectionately and tenderly.
The postilion started, and the carriage rattled its wheels. Prince Hippolyte laughed abruptly, standing on the porch and waiting for the Viscount, whom he promised to take home.
“Eh bien, mon cher, votre petite princesse est tres bien, tres bien,” said the Viscount, sitting down in the carriage with Hippolytus. - Mais tres bien. He kissed the tips of his fingers. - Et tout a fait francaise. [Well, my dear, your little princess is very sweet! Very sweet and perfect French.]
Hippolyte laughed with a snort.
“Et savez vous que vous etes terrible avec votre petit air innocent,” continued the Viscount. - Je plains le pauvre Mariei, ce petit officier, qui se donne des airs de prince regnant .. [Do you know, you are a terrible person, despite your innocent appearance. I feel sorry for the poor husband, this officer who poses as a sovereign person.]
Hippolytus snorted again and said through laughter:
- Et vous disiez, que les dames russes ne valaient pas les dames francaises. Il faut savoir s "y prendre. [And you said that Russian ladies are worse than French ones. You have to be able to take it.]
Pierre, having arrived ahead, like a man at home, went into Prince Andrew's study and immediately, out of habit, lay down on the sofa, took the first book he found from the shelf (these were Caesar's Notes) and began, leaning back, to read it from the middle.
- What have you done with m lle Scherer? She's going to be completely ill now, ”said Prince Andrei, entering the study, and rubbing his small, white hands.
Pierre turned his whole body, so that the sofa creaked, turned his lively face to Prince Andrey, smiled and waved his hand.
- No, this abbot is very interesting, but he does not understand the matter that way ... In my opinion, eternal peace is possible, but I do not know how to say it ... But only not with political balance ...
Prince Andrew was apparently not interested in these abstract conversations.
- You can't, mon cher, [my dear,] everywhere say whatever you think. Well, well, have you finally decided on something? Will you be a cavalier or a diplomat? - asked Prince Andrey after a moment's silence.
Pierre sat down on the sofa, tucking his legs under him.
- You can imagine, I still don't know. I don't like either one or the other.
- But you have to decide on something? Your father is waiting.
From the age of ten, Pierre was sent abroad with the tutor by the abbot, where he stayed until the age of twenty. When he returned to Moscow, his father dismissed the abbot and said to the young man: “Now you go to Petersburg, look around and choose. I agree to everything. Here's a letter to Prince Vasil, and here's your money. Write about everything, I will help you in everything. " Pierre had been choosing a career for three months and did nothing. Prince Andrew spoke to him about this choice. Pierre rubbed his forehead.
“But he must be a Mason,” he said, meaning the abbot he had seen at the party.
- All this is nonsense, - Prince Andrey stopped him again, - let's talk better about the case. Have you been in the Horse Guards? ...
- No, I wasn't, but that's what came to my mind, and I wanted to tell you. Now the war is against Napoleon. If it were a war for freedom, I would understand, I would be the first to enter the military service; but helping England and Austria against the greatest man in the world ... it's not good ...
Prince Andrew only shrugged his shoulders at Pierre's childish speeches. He pretended that such nonsense should not be answered; but it was really difficult to answer this naive question with anything other than what Prince Andrey answered.
“If everyone fought only for their own convictions, there would be no war,” he said.
“That would be great,” said Pierre.
Prince Andrey chuckled.
- It may well be that it would be wonderful, but it will never be ...
- Well, why are you going to war? Pierre asked.
- For what? I do not know. It should be so. Besides, I'm going ... - He stopped. - I am going because this life that I am leading here, this life is not for me!
A woman's dress rustled in the next room. As if waking up, Prince Andrew shook himself, and his face assumed the same expression that it had in Anna Pavlovna's drawing room. Pierre swung his legs off the sofa. The princess entered. She was already in a different, homely, but equally elegant and fresh dress. Prince Andrew got up, politely moving her armchair.
- Why, I often think, - she began to speak, as always, in French, hastily and busily sitting down in a chair, - why Anet did not get married? How stupid you are, messurs that you didn't marry her. Excuse me, but you do not understand anything about women. What a debater you are, Monsieur Pierre.
- I argue everything with your husband; I don’t understand why he wants to go to war, ”said Pierre, without any hesitation (so common in the relationship of a young man to a young woman) addressing the princess.
The princess perked up. Apparently, Pierre's words touched her for a living.
- Ah, here I am saying the same! - she said. - I don’t understand, I absolutely don’t understand why men cannot live without war? Why do we women want nothing, we do not need anything? Well, here you are, be the judge. I tell him everything: here he is uncle's adjutant, the most brilliant position. Everyone knows him so much, so much appreciates him. The other day at the Apraksins' I heard a lady ask: "c" est ca le fameux prince Andre? " Ma parole d "honneur! [Is this the famous Prince Andrew? Honestly!] She laughed. - It is so accepted everywhere. He can very easily be an aide-de-camp as well. You know, the sovereign spoke to him very graciously. Anet and I spoke, it would be very easy to arrange. What do you think?
Pierre looked at Prince Andrew and, noticing that his friend did not like this conversation, did not answer.
- When are you going? - he asked.
- Ah! ne me parlez pas de ce depart, ne m "en parlez pas. Je ne veux pas en entendre parler, [Ah, don't tell me about this departure! I don't want to hear about it,]" the princess spoke in such a capriciously playful tone as she talked to Hippolyte in the living room, and who obviously did not go to the family circle, where Pierre was, as it were, a member. ”Today, when I thought that I had to break off all this dear relationship ... And then, you know, Andre? She blinked significantly at her husband, "J" ai peur, j "ai peur! [I'm scared, I'm scared!]" She whispered, shuddering her back.
The husband looked at her with such an air, as if he was surprised to notice that someone else, besides him and Pierre, was in the room; and with cold courtesy he turned inquiringly to his wife:
- What are you afraid of, Lisa? I can't understand, ”he said.
- That's how all men are selfish; everyone, everyone is selfish! Himself, because of his whims, God knows why, he throws me, locks me in the village alone.
“With your father and sister, do not forget,” said Prince Andrey quietly.
- All the same, alone, without my friends ... And he wants me not to be afraid.
Her tone was already grumpy, her sponge rose, giving her face not a joyful, but a brutal, squirrel-like expression. She fell silent, as if finding it indecent to talk about her pregnancy in front of Pierre, when that was the essence of the matter.
- All the same, I did not understand, de quoi vous avez peur, [What are you afraid of,] - Prince Andrew said slowly, not taking his eyes off his wife.
The princess blushed and frantically waved her hands.
- Non, Andre, je dis que vous avez tellement, tellement change ... [No, Andrei, I say: you have changed so much ...]
“Your doctor tells you to go to bed earlier,” said Prince Andrew. - You should go to sleep.
The princess said nothing, and suddenly the short, mustache-like sponge trembled; Prince Andrey, getting up and shrugging his shoulders, walked across the room.
Pierre looked in surprise and naivety through his spectacles now at him, now at the princess and stirred, as if he also wanted to get up, but again hesitated.
On Tuesday CSKA will start qualifying for the Champions League. Sportbox.ru - about the most discussed figure of the last days in the ranks of the red and blue, central defender Viktor Vasin.
As long as the time machine remains the domain of science fiction, nothing can last forever, not even the line of defense. After the departure of Leonid Slutsky, the new head coach of the army team carried out a tactical rearrangement of the back line, switching to a game of three central defenders. Moreover, one of the constants of this strategic maneuver was the position in the starting combination.
Vasin spent the first part of last season on loan at Ufa, where, under the leadership of the same Goncharenko, he was the undisputed leader of the back line, led partners, made more than four interceptions per game. Zero conceded goals in the first round matches with Zenit, Lokomotiv, Spartak, Krasnodar, Rostov is, not least of all, his merit.
This was followed by a well-deserved promotion in the class, the transition to the camp of CSKA, which fought for the championship, an invitation to the national team, where Vasin established himself as a starting player. The level of demands and responsibility increased many times over, as did the demand, especially since Vasin was involved in a number of goals, both in others' and in his own gates.
In 2017, Victor scored twice in friendly matches for and, hitting the gates of Belgium and Chile, and also opened a personal score in matches for CSKA, upsetting Anji goalkeeper Alexei Solosin. In all cases, the defender scored after the set.
At the same time, Vasin found himself in the spotlight on much less pleasant occasions. In the same game with Anji, it was he who did not keep track of the opponent's striker Markelov, who became an accomplice of the fatal episode for the national team in the match with Mexico, and also the author of two “deliveries” in the lost derbies with Spartak and Lokomotiv.
Russia - Mexico. 1: 2. Akinfeev and Vasin give a goal to the Mexicans
CSKA Moscow - Lokomotiv. 1: 2. Ari
So for whom is Viktor Vasin more dangerous: for strangers or friends? Can we talk about him as a worthy replacement for Ignashevich and the Berezutskys in CSKA and the national team, or is he, rather, a time bomb on the outskirts of his own penalty area. With these questions Sportbox.ru turned to Alexander Bubnov, not just an expert, but also a former defender.
“Even great high-level footballers can make mistakes, remember the final of the Confederations Cup and the decisive goal of Germany,” says Bubnov. - It's one thing when you play in Ufa, another thing when you go to the international level in a short time, you find yourself in the spotlight. The level of responsibility, opponents, partners, competition - all this suddenly increases significantly, in addition, you are expected to display leadership qualities. It is no coincidence that Goncharenko trusted Vasin with the CSKA captain's armband in some of the offseason sparrings. Let the defender is already 28, but all this experience is new to him. "
Bubnov analyzed Vasin's productive mistakes ...
“Vasin has often had bad luck lately. In general, he makes mistakes quite rarely, but his mistakes often become effective, therefore they do not leave the front pages. Although even the most resonant missteps are not so terrible on closer inspection. In the game against Spartak, yes, he made the wrong decision, but experienced partners did not promptly inform about the threat, in the match against Mexico Akinfeev confused Vasin, the goalkeeper was guilty, with Anji there was a purely working moment - they outplayed, it happens, but with “Locomotive” took place a jab from Ari, unnoticed by the referee ”.
CSKA Moscow - Spartak. 1: 2. Vasin started dribbling the ball in the goalkeeper's room. Zobnin, Popov and Glushakov were punished
... and came to an interesting conclusion:
“You shouldn't exaggerate the role of Vasin's guilt in the balls conceded by CSKA. A footballer who has jumped several steps in career development is now not to be envied. The pressure on him is serious, I hope the coaches of the club and the national team understand everything correctly and support him. It is no coincidence that Vasin is at the heart of CSKA and the national team. He has good physical characteristics, is well equipped technically, knows how to read the game, is self-possessed. He lacks some speed, but the Berezutskys and Ignashevich have never been sprinters, but, like his predecessors, Vasin plays great with his head. "
Indeed, in the same ill-fated derby for CSKA with Lokomotiv, Vasin could restore balance with the score 2: 1, but almost hit the target. Let's recall his hitting the post in the first match of the Confederations Cup with New Zealand, the crossbar in the game with Krasnodar, the three goalscoring episodes described above. Vasin's presence in someone else's penalty area with set pieces is certainly a headache for the defending side.
Russia - Chile. 1: 1. Victor Vasin
I would like the defenders of CSKA's rival in the 3rd round of the Champions League qualification from Greek to feel it. As for Vasin's defensive play, the opponent's coach, Manolo Jimenez, is confident that gifts from the Russian should not be expected:
"There are blots in the game, sometimes the details decide everything, there are also accidents, but we don't have to wait for such mistakes."

Vasin Viktor Vladimirovich - Russian footballer, central defender of CSKA and the Russian national team
And our story will begin with a short quote from Victor, in which he briefly and clearly described how he chose his role. When asked how he took this position, Victor replied:
“At the Smena school in St. Petersburg, I became a midfielder at the start. By the end, it was clear that I liked the role of the center-back. Before leaving for Nalchik, I felt that this is my calling "
And Vasin did not lose in this, he is really good in this position, it is not known for sure whether he chose it himself or was advised to him, but one thing is clear, the central defender is his element, and over ten years of his career, the athlete scored about 18 goals, as well as saved his team from defeat many times in the period from 2007 to 2017.
Viktor Vasin - the beginning of a career path
In the early stages of Vasin's career, Zenit was just selecting players from Smena, Viktor was not invited, and the guy himself was such a person, he refused to offer himself. The agent scoured in search of other ways out of the situation, and only later did Vasin understand where he would perform. In 2008, he began to play for the basic part of the team, and since 2009 Victor Vasin went on loan to Nizhny Novgorod, where he stayed for quite a long time, made as many as thirty-one matches and only once threw the ball into the goal. Later, Nalchik took him back, in which the footballer played successfully for a year and received the right to participate in the national team.
On January 13, 2011, the central defender signed a contract with CSKA, was later injured, and having survived the operation, he returned on May 27. Soon, the former trauma made itself felt again. He started for CSKA in 2012, on April 28, in a battle with Spartak, in the end the score was 2: 1. In the next 2 seasons, he played in the Russian Cup four times.
He made his debut for Mordovia against Ural on 08/02/14, played a whole match in the basic part, and stayed in it having played everything at the Russian Championship. In the 7th round against Lokomotiv, Victor launched a goal straight into their goal. Later, the talented footballer tried to move back to CSKA, but to no avail.

Victor agreed to a lease from Ufa in 2016, in which he appeared at the highest level, showed excellent leadership qualities and a good result. In winter, the club sent the player to CSKA where the central defender played all the matches of the spring. A couple of years later, in the 1/16 Europa League game against Crvena Zvezda, he was injured and had to undergo surgery.

Personal life of Viktor Vasin
Let's summarize the story with a little information about the personal life of a football player:
Victor tells little about his personal, it is known that he has a wife, Eugene, with whom he is happily married, she supports him in every possible way, as, in principle, the wife of almost any football player. Evgenia loves to attend the matches where Vasin plays, and is very fiercely rooting for him.

Also on our website you can find the biography of another Russian player -
Central defender Viktor Vasin is a graduate of St. Petersburg football. It is all the more surprising that he did not get a chance to prove himself in the best team of his hometown: Zenit did not even invite for a viewing, and Vitya decided to make his way upward by much more winding paths.
When there was a chance to try his hand at Nalchik "Spartak", according to his own words, until the last day Vasin did not know which team he was invited to the bride. But in the capital of Kabardino-Balkaria, they quickly became convinced that they had made the right decision by inviting a newcomer little known at that time. In Nalchik, Vasin successfully replaced the injured Miodrag Dzhudovich, then showed himself well on loan at FC Nizhny Novgorod, after which he returned to Spartak and it was from this club that he received his first call to the national team in his career.
Victor's debut took place in a friendly match against the Belgian national team (0: 2). In his own opinion, not everything worked out in that meeting, but the very appearance in a duel of such a level definitely contributed to the growth of sportsmanship.
Vasin's abilities by that time were appreciated by many larger clubs in the Premier League, and the competition for the central defender was eventually won by PFC CSKA. On January 13, 2011 Vasin officially moved to our club, but a week later he received an offensive and severe knee injury at the training camp, followed by a long recovery. As a result, Vitya was able to make his debut for the red and blue only in April 2012, but how! During the break of the match with Moscow "Spartak" with the score 1: 1, Vasily Berezutsky could not continue the meeting, and Vasin entered the field instead of him. The team played very confidently in defense, and Zoran Tosic brought PFC CSKA a well-deserved victory - 2: 1!
In recent years, together with PFC CSKA, Viktor Vasin became the champion of the country three times, and also spent two successful leases in Mordovia and Ufa, where he played absolutely all official matches without substitutions.
Immediately after Viktor Gancharenko was appointed the new head coach of PFC CSKA in December 2016, it became known about the mentor's plans to recall Viktor from Ufa ahead of schedule in order to strengthen the defensive line of our team, and he immediately became a solid player in the main team.
In February 2018, in the European competition against Crvena Zvezda, he again suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee joint, which required a long recovery.
Curious fact
In his interviews, Viktor Vasin said more than once that the games against St. Petersburg residents have no additional background for him.
There is probably no tooth on Zenit, after all, many years have passed since then, - he notes. - Settle any personal scores with this team? I don't pursue such motives, although I scored against the Petrograd team for Nalchik, beat them against Mordovia. Yes, I didn’t manage to play in St. Petersburg at an adult level, but I made my way to Moscow through other cities, I have been playing at PFC CSKA for many years, although I periodically went on loan. To be honest, I have been feeling like a "horse" for a long time.
