“Who can interfere with me? Only I myself "

From Mordovia to Stamford Bridge: 19-year-old Arsen Zakharyan goes to Chelsea. Probably and obvious

Dossier "New".
Zakharyan Arsen Norayrovich. Born on May 26, 2003 in Samara. 19 years old. Havbek. Citizenship - Russia. Height - 180 cm, weight - 68 kg. In the Dynamo system - since 2017. He spent 53 matches in the championship and the country's cup, scored 13 goals in the championship and the country's cup. Bronze medalist of the CR-2022. The finalist of the Russian Cup - 2022. For an adult national team held four meetings. Laureate of the First Five Prize in 2021. The best young player of the season 2021/2022 according to the RFU. In the lists of the 33 best players in Russia-2021/2022: No. 1 (left midfielder). In March-2022 he entered the top 10 most expensive football players of the world no older than 18 years (12 million euros).

Seeing such a title, the reader (if he was even a fan of Spartak) will surely say: the author has gone crazy. And he will ask: what does Mordovia have to do with it, if the culprit of the amazing Fintil transfer for the metropolitan club from the Petrovsky Park? Everything is so. Having Armenian roots Arsen - Dynamo, who was also born in Samara.

However, I am sure that not all fans of the “blue and white” will remember when the guy dressed in a T-shirt with the letter D debuted for the main composition of the Order-bearing team. And this happened on November 1, 2020 in Saransk, where the eccentric “Tambov”, which had long ceased to exist, accepted his guests. The then Dynamo Coach Sandro Schwartz, who had just accepted the Moscow team, on his first exit, in the 78th minute of a seriously folding fight was not afraid to replace Dmitry Skopintsev with Zakharyan's baby.

And the “kindergarten policeman” in the arena, where he inherited himself Cristiano Ronaldo during the World Cup - 2018, did not fade. And for the segment allotted to him, he managed to make sharpness in a boring match and cheer up his own company. As a matter of fact, even then everyone who needed to be appreciated and recorded: a 17-year-old schoolboy, faning, by the way, from Kryro, he sees the chip and chop the chip.

... Real talent is always visible, even from the last row of a huge stadium. True, it can not always break into this same stadium. Especially in Russia, where the presidents of clubs that do not think about the state, who do not think about the future, prefer to buy a bag of “hungry” Africans and “left” Brazilians, sawing on transfers and putting dust into the eyes.

And their own pupils, in such layouts, go to the bench to study the mind from the "star" legionnaires and are blown away, and without getting a chance to show themselves.

But Zakharyan was lucky. The German Schwartz, unlike most domestic coaches, did not engage in “shilers” and did not look into his passport. He was not interested in the cost, excuse me, his legs, but their ability to create something good and non-banal. The Sandro Message was simple: those who are faster, stronger and more capable play, and not those who are “vibrant”, older and more expensive. And thanks to the rare approach for our championship, Arsen began to grow by day, but by the clock. After a winter pause, in February 2021, on the lawn in Grozny, he jumped out among the 11 main ones. He earned a penalty, and then in the fight against three defenders he sent his first adult ball to the grid, paying attention to the entire Russian football community ... And now it is interesting: will Zakharyan write at the end of his career a book with a separate chapter about Schwartz? ..

The life, and with him, of course, is Arsen's creative path, if you follow the chronology, began in Samara, where his big family (Zakharyan has two more brothers) moved from Mardakert - the war in Karabakh had no choice ...

What is a harsh Volga football, a kid who drove a ball in the gateways of Bezzymyanka, where bandits, drunks and drug addicts gathered, knows firsthand. But Zakharyan speaks about his childhood with great warmth and misses at that time. At the age of six, he signed up for the Academy of Wings, and his grandmother drove him to training and brother. Then, a little operating, Arsen decided to try his luck in the city on the Neva. However, Zenit did not like it and returned home, but already to the Yuri Konoplev Academy.

And during the youth championship of the country of the Armenian “Academician”, all metropolitan grades noticed. The “Dynamo” turned out to be more quick and persistent. Zakharyan and his parents did not mind.

If you return to a couple of paragraphs higher and compare the baptism of Zakharyan with the debuts of other Dynamo child prodigns, then striker Anatoly Kozhemyakin pops up in the memory (the first serious battle will accept the first 17, and will die in the elevator of the elevator), midfielder Andrei Kobelev (he will manifest himself earlier - at 16), as well as his lodge of the Igor’s linker. Dobrovolsky, who at the age of 18 will make him admire his skill.

By the way, it was with the 55th anniversary of the recently celebrated the 55th anniversary, the gold medalist of the Olympic Games and the winner of the Champions League, many experts compare Zakharyan today. The general features of the young dope and the current zaha, what the name of Arsen fans are certainly present.

The enthusiasm, courage, confidence in their own strengths, the speed of thinking, the desire to take risks in controversial situations, corporate dribbling, an accurate pass to any distance - foot like a hand. But Arsen is moving around the field, in general, it is still faster and it goes into joints more actively.

Although at difficult moments Zakharyan, who is almost responsible for all the standards of Dynamo, rarely takes the game, does not fulfill the penalty and is able to charge the opponent with the eyes on the yellow, or even red card in the heat of the struggle.

As, however, it is beautiful to charge the nine. Admire the universal 47th number from the penalty limits. Just a fairy tale!

This fairy tale, of course, had to see at the foggy Albion. By the way, still playing for the second team of the “blue and white” in the PFL, the young midfielder got into the top 60 of the best football players in the world according to the authoritative The Guardian.

And it is not surprising that the proposals for Zakharyan flew to the Dynamo office from all over the Old World. The Portuguese, the Germans, and the Spaniards threw fishing rods (Barcelona herself allegedly held Arsen on a pencil). A funny fact: Zakharyana in a computer game called “Football Manager” was already bought by the forward of the “blue-granat” and the French national team Antoine Griezmann, which he personally informed Arsen in the now banned social networks, which pleased and embarrassed the curly spilman, to whom the early glory did not turn his head at all. Kokorin Zakharyan will hardly repeat the fate of Kokorin.

Pope Norair and Mom Christina correctly raised his son. They raised primarily not a football player, but a good and modest person, who should be in the first place, and then money.

And a year ago, in an interview, a silent hero whose salary was about 35 thousand euros, said that 100 thousand rubles a month for a comfortable life will be enough for him.

It turned out to be comfortable in the T -shirt in the national team. Valery Karpin released Arsen at the start of the most important home match with Croatia. The attacking midfielder gave the pass by the heel of Golovin, almost upset the goalkeeper Livakovich and turned into the youngest field player in the history of the Russian national team (at the time of a three -color debut, Zakharyan was 18 years old, 3 months and 5 days). Moreover, Arsen even noted Stanislav Cherchesov and included a techie in his expanded list. And if it were not for the bacterial sore throat, Arsen, who had become the most young author of the final tournaments in the youth continental championship in Hungary, would have smoked at the post-shaped Euro 2020. And when the next time Zakharyan, who takes 11th place in the list of talented and giving hopes of the players, puts a T-shirt with a double-headed eagle, a big question ...

However, for Arsen on the agenda now, a T -shirt with a lion holding a staff in his hand. “Chelsea”, even after Abramovich’s departure, continuing to trample to the right and left, hoping to please the coach Thomas Tukhel, is ready to redeem the Dynamo for the compensation in his contract in the amount of 15 million euros.

Many Western experts believe that for “blue”, signing capable students in boots from Italy and France, the acquisition of Zakharyan is not a momentary strengthening, but an investment into the future.

And many Russian football analysts argue: is it worth Arsen to accept the proposal of the Londoners? Like, he will give Zakharyan to rent experience, for example, in Sanderland or Stock City from the championship, where bosters play according to the primitive principle of “Bey-Bogi”. And they will break the creative dispatcher there horns and legs, and with them all its equipment in the literal and figurative sense of the word. The danger is certainly exists. But, firstly, no one is safe from injuries and rents. And secondly, these are only assumptions. And personally, I would have emigrated in the place of Zakharyan in a football. In addition, progressing in a tournament, where the champion is often determined not on green lawns, but behind dark curtains (this is about the Russian championship) is very problematic. And there, you look, and you will be able to seep on Stamford Bridge on the first attempt ...

Yes, the current Chelsea is a team from the category of "TOP". This is not the “Chelsea” from the 90s in which the army goalkeeper Dmitry Kharin spent seven seven seven seasons with varying success. The oligarch Roman Arkadevich transformed the legendary, but almost disappointed club in the winning team.

Everything and all. Five championships in the Premier League, five Cups of England, two triumphs in the Champions League and the Europa League ...

And in total, Chelsea in various competitions during the reign of Red Roma (2003–2022) won 21 titles. Well, you understand.

The 28-year-old Alexei Smertin with 25-year-old Yuri Zhirkov understood this at one time. But they succeeded in the real Chelsian level on big holidays. Yes, even Andrei Shevchenko, the owner, for a minute, the “golden ball”, did not particularly work on Stamford Bridge. True, it should be noted that the Ukrainian, so to speak, was already riding from the fair. And Zhirkov’s Simmina, even if Alexey and Yuri were not offended at me, I would not put in one row on talent with Zakharyan. By the way, both of them absolutely do not regret that they tried their strength in London. As, of course, Andrei Arshavin with Roman Pavlyuchenko, who stole 31 and 42 goals for Arsenal and Tottenham, respectively (see the table).

And in the place of the elegant Arsen, who was born that year when Abramovich bought Chelsea, I would repeat, I didn’t even think. Now he is no weaker than Golovin and Miranchuk, playing for Monaco and Torino. Yes, Chelsea will be abruptly Monegasks and Turinsev, but Zakharyan, once again, is not basting. By the way, to the departure of the 22-year-old Russian Winger Andrei Kanchelskis from Shakhtar to the great Manchester United in 1991, everyone was also skeptical. But he adapted quickly and together with Canton, Giggz and Robson led the "devils" to the golden peaks. So Zakharyan has nothing to fear. And what, in the end, will happen if the fintit is not possible for fogs? But to lament in old age, which was not once spent in the English step, it will be possible to oh how tightly.

Nevertheless, at the moment, no matter how strange it sounds, not everything depends on the desire of Arsen himself. There are a number of factors that are able to upset plans for the transition of Dynamo to the Chelsea camp. After all, the rules for signing contracts with legionnaires in the Premier League are quite strict. In addition, it is necessary to get a work permit in the UK, which is sometimes an impossible task for football players. And in the current situation, bank barriers arise on the path of Zakharyan.

After all, payment of the transfer directly to the Petrovsky Park will almost certainly not pass. And to stir up alternative schemes not in the customs of the subjects of Her Majesty ...

But if everything is growing up, then our star will have a chance to test himself in the company of Tiaga Silva, Sterling, Havertz and Kantte with the Mount. Zakharyan’s mood is absolutely correct. “Who can prevent me from developing further? Only I myself! Thank God, in my family everyone is alive and well. And for me this is the main thing ” - these are the words of Arsen himself, who dreams of becoming clash on the field with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Let it be an exceptionally worthy desire to come true.
