Giner is all

Portrait of the President of CSKA, who turned the red-blue club into a golden

CSKA’s cartridge Evgeny Giner ceased to be the owner of the club, who was under the control of the state VEB for debts in the stadium. For almost 19 years, the odious leader was folded with various methods, the victorious red-blue puzzle, turning over and somewhere even crushing Russian football. How it was.

Recently, in the subway, I heard a dialogue of two middle -aged fans. "Who has achieved significant success in our championship?" - "Romantsev, Semin, Berdyev and Giner." Marvelous? But, as they say, all claims to Evgeny Lennovich, with the identity of which many have domestic football in the 2000s and is associated.

In 2001, an unknown to the general public, with a rogue gaze, unexpectedly, actually found himself at the helm of the “sports” army. There were rumors that he, not without the help of law enforcement agencies, allegedly intercepted control from the then President Shahrudi Dadakhanov. On paper, the new shareholders became the Avo-Capital, the British company Blue Castle Enterprises Limited (its origin and occupation is still a mystery) and the Ministry of Defense, looking for the owner for a bending project.

The owner without the experience of football work got down to business at once. He quickly cut into the rules of the game. More precisely, he himself began to install them. For example, if earlier all liquid was in Spartak, now Evgeny Giner deftly took the right of the first night. Even the early calls are Andrei Solomatin (Lokomotiv), Denis Popov (“Chernomorets”), Yuri Lizans (“Skonto”), Predag ​​Ranjelovich, Elver Rakhimich (“Anji”), Igor Yanovsky (PSGs), Rolan Gusev, Davidas Shemberas (Dynamo), Dmitry Kirichenko ("Rostselmash") - made it clear that everything will be serious. And after 12 months, the office was located in the office the first trophy in 12 years - the Russian Cup. The crown could not be captured on the move, but after losing in the “gold” match “Lokomotiv”, Giner, who was engaged in parallel and the affairs of the hockey CSKA, continued, without stinting, to create an army version of Galakatikos.

Remember how much it was paid, for example, for Irji Yaroshik and Ivitsa Olich? Eight crazy millions of euros at that time.

Yes, and the army teams who took their first Russian title in 2003 were judged without noise and dust, also by a special “tariff”. "Who is this silent uncle with a cigar and what kind of" Giner structures? " - Increasingly, journalists began to ask the question. There were no detailed answers. It seems to be engaged in the “Luzhnikov” fair in the 90s (he was considered one of the co-owners), has some kind of energy business in Ukraine, and it seems to have sponsored the Russian youth team. The cartridge itself, which they began to suspect in relations with crime (especially after his car was shot in 2005 in Moscow on the embankment), did not spread about the past and did not reveal the secrets of success. And only once he told that he had not learned at the Kharkov Institute of Public Construction Engineers.

True, the lack of a diploma did not prevent him from making friendship with Roman Abramovich and other legal oligarchs, cool officials and heads of state -owned companies. CSKA contract with Sibneft for $ 54 million in 2004 turned out to be a record at that time and struck the people almost more than the historical Cup of UEFA, which Akinfeev and the company brought from Lisbon a year later.

On a dashing horse, the charismatic boss burst into the leadership of the football Premier League. And no one was surprised that during his reign of CSKA he created two gold dumches.

The slogan “Giner bought everything” that appeared at that time smoothly turned into a certain “motto”.

And having gained more and more influence and completely taking the team under his control, the football Don Corleone did not hide power: “Even if they reduce the simultaneous presence of foreigners on the field of up to 3-4 people, this will not affect CSKA. We, as a wealthy club, buy the best Russian football players - and that’s it. ” By the way, in 2012, it was Evgeny Lennovich in the absence of the head of the RFU and three weeks before the start of the season that the “7+4” limit, which arranged a group of rich people, calmly pushed the season. Valery Karpin will call this a lawlessness, Nikita Simonyan-a disgrace, but no one later risked to argue with the giner and cancel the legionnaire explosion ... And not so long ago, the ex-president of Lokomotiv, Nikolai Naumov, admitted: “All reforms in Russian football were carried out exclusively with Giner's filing. Its influence is huge. His voice has always been decisive. Sometimes more important than the voice of Prygkin himself. Giner is afraid ... "

The army boss put the barrier and agents who did not like to work with CSKA, because they knew: you can’t drink on transfers there, as in Spartak, Dynamo and Lokomotiv. At the same time, the cunning giner, who ate the dog in the market business, brilliantly speculated the wizards in the boots, increasing army capital literally out of the blue. Judge for yourself. Brazilian Dudu, bought for 3 million euros, went to Olympiacos for 6.5. Yaroshik sold in Chelsea for 12. The Milos Krasich acquired for 2 million was sent to Juventus for 17. Seyda Dumbia was sent to Roma for 15 million (and then returned to a million). Zhirkova, who was signed for 300 thousand euros, was wrapped for Chelsea for 21 million. Like Ahmed Musu in Lester. The five -million Jo was driven into Manchester City for 24.5. And on Wagnere Lava CSKA earned well twice, selling it first in Brazil, and then to China. The bosses of the clubs bit their elbows and other parts of the body, since all the players who brought CSKA tangible benefits did not play in new teams even for a million. Giner, who learned to get out even in conditions of strict savings, rubbed his hands. Indeed, thanks to the art of wise trade, the army team, who did not have monsters like “Lukoil”, Russian Railways and Gazprom, continued to exist comfortably and defeat those who were salted with money left and right.

Giner guessed with Slutsky, who, according to the fans, harnessed for too long.

With Leonid Viktorovich CSKA, he took gold three times in four years, reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League and finally turned into the most successful Russian club with an almost impeccable reputation. Unless the transfer of the date of birth of the army squad from 1923 to 1911 forced the fans of all stripes. But laughter prolongs life, isn't it? But the CRU from the red-blue hut was not taken out in principle. Yes, and scandals like Spartakovsky and Dynamo, could not be found on the sandy. “Giner will not be lusting ...” - the players did not say under the recorder, who also noted that all the promises of the president are fulfilled from and to. I think it makes no sense to list those who happily finished in CSKA until the end of their career.

Evgeny Lennovich himself, in which the army team conquered 7 cups of the country, 7 super -fingers and 6 champion ranks, nevertheless, so to speak, did not finish it a little. In his Ukrainian business, he has recently suffered losses, and he was beyond the power to build a stadium without loss. More precisely, repay a loan of $ 280 million, taken to build a temple of football. Moreover, the amount of the total debt to VEB at the end of 2018 amounted to 322 million dollars. The State Bank decided to convert CSKA debts to the action, and Giner, which has lost the general control, was transformed into a manager of a sports unit. “There will not be any cardinal change of course, and the team will still solve serious problems,” said the favorite of the army fans, whose era, apparently, approached the end. Or maybe Evgeny Giner again “bought everyone”?
