Penalty carbon fumes

Kokorin and Mamaev for too long sought a demonstration flogging to avoid it altogether

As Vladimir Mayakovsky wrote at one time, "either in Kharkov, or in Ufa, they say that two players at the station were filled with the entire buffet."

It was not at the station, but near a stripper club and in one of the cafes, and the matter was not limited to drinking. Times are changing, like morals. Two stars of Russian football, bosom friends Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev, in Monday morning they also distinguished themselves with two fights. Indeed, what to do well-known football players if the match in St. Petersburg between Kokorinsky Zenit and Krasnodar, for which Mamaev plays, is already behind, ahead of the two-week break, but was not called to the Russian team?

That's right, start resting, as they understand the word "rest". In this sad case, to urgently go to Moscow to get drunk and fill someone's face. That both successfully carried out, as a result of which two -week leave of friends can be very long. The criminal case is at least open.

We have been lucky recently for sweet couples. These guys are famous. Already received for a rampant in Monaco immediately after the failure of Euro 2016, public censure. The defenders, however, were also enough: everyone has the right to relax, as he wants. We had fun with champagne when the country had not yet recovered after French shock - well, these are the problems of fans, not football players.

With Kokorin, a lot of things happened outside the football field, mostly stupid to childishness. His picture with two pistols in his hands against the backdrop of the Caucasian mountains - so Sasha walked at the wedding in Ossetia - was very popular on the Internet. Pictures of joint pastime with a friend of childhood Mamaev have long been posted on the Internet. All by jokes, laughter for the sake. Years go, and friends do not change, remaining in childhood and youth, judging by their hobbies and the desire to do almost any adventure of public public. This applies more to Kokorin, who is three years younger than Mamaev, but he should have thought for a long time in what role he was here.

Now friends were by no means longing for publicity - they decided for them that it was time to publish the details of their Moscow voyage. Because here it no longer smells of fun, but it smells completely different. Maybe in a strip club, they also watched the Khabib fight with McGregor, and the final stage of broadcasting from Las Vegas inspired friends and accompanying faces to exploits? One way or another, according to eyewitnesses, after the players left the early morning hour from a strip club, they, out of a professional habit, began to kick the car parked nearby. They simply reacted to the received remark - turned on the fists. The driver was in intensive care, friends went on. Catch up.

The second sacrifice had breakfast in Coffeekania, where a noisy company fell out inappropriately and fell. After the administration did not manage to calm customers, the visitor tried to ugly. He, accordingly, was scorched by a chair on the head, added with fists, and even explained on the national basis where he should go (for some reason to China). The victim was an official of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Pak and another visitor. The driver of Pak called an ambulance, and the police transferred the incident from the surveillance camera. In hot pursuit, it was not possible to hush up the matter, although the “heroes” seemed to have tried through intermediaries for a reward of 5 million rubles to prevent at least a video of the video.

Yesterday, all day, new details of the morning Moscow promenade of football players appeared, whose journey, again, according to an eyewitness, began in the Sapsan, which followed from St. Petersburg to Moscow.

Alas, Kokorin and Mamaev did everything to light up, and this time in full.

They do not drink talent, as someone from the Moscow Art Theater used to say. Already in the Kremlin, they commented on the incident that nothing good to the "fighters" promises. Kokorin, before returning to the team, whose main striker he was, was a month left - he began very well at Zenit, recovering after the most severe injury. Mamaeva, too, recently only praised. In order to spoil everything, a big mind is not necessary.

... memes in the Internet space are already full. But jokes like "And the chapel is also Kokorin with Mamaev?" ended. Everything is too serious and clearly, so that the case is limited to the words “ay-yai-yay, as not good,” an appeal, finally take up the mind, improve and stop doing childishness. Friends ceased to feel the limits, and in this they, alas, are not alone - how many examples of this kind are in today's Russia?

In such cases, everything is customary to blame the so-called “dashing 90s”, but those years can still be attributed to the transition period. And we have long, almost two decades, have been living in zero and tenths that have finally designed, and now at the state level, the cult of power and fist. Russian football with its unmeasured and undeserved money, steep cars and scandals - part of the process of dividing society, and there will always be those who expose vices. Not from a great mind, of course, but stupidity also has its limits.

Perhaps the wild story with Mamaev and Kokorin has some kind of background. But the entire previous one suggests that the guys are used to breaking away as it is now accepted by the major. There is money - there is no mind. They are football players that take them from them. Like children. They grew up in sportinernates, they know nothing else, how to drive a ball across the field.

The compassionate of the people, as well as their cruelty, does not know the boundaries.

Of course, there will be those who try to justify the couple, and those who demand it to close it forever. But the point is not even what punishment the defendants will eventually receive and what conclusions will draw from all this. The fact is what lesson both the football community and society as a whole will extract. In this society, the deadline can be obtained by looking at the guardian of the law or passing by an unauthorized rally - and be justified for a much more serious crime. It all depends on what concepts dominate. The concept of "law" in this case is not dominant.

To the “morning football players”, no matter how to justify them, it is necessary to apply the principle “everyone is equal before the law”. Regardless of the type of activity, the need for a particular club or even the state, any person must be responsible for their actions. Any verdict in such a resonant case will cause disputes, but it will be worse if there is no verdict in the case of Kokorin and Mamaev. For too long they sought a demonstration flogging to avoid it at all.

Friends have already received the summons for interrogation. The investigation will understand, because of what, who and how he beat. To establish the degree of guilt of the two stars and "unidentified persons" is a matter of time. But Mamaev with Kokorin, it seems, will have to be forgotten for a long time. Yes, if only about football ...
