Nikolai Yaremenko is a well-known sports journalist who has devoted more than 20 years to his work. He is a multiple winner of the Radiomania National Award in the category "Programs about Sports", an academician of the Russian Academy of Radio, a member of the executive committee of the Federation of Sports Journalists of Russia, and an author of books about sports.
The last quarter of a century has brought more changes to world and Russian soccer than the entire previous history of the most popular game in the world. The rules of the game have changed, the structure of the European cups has changed (along with their number and the principles of representation of countries), and the financial component has intensified. At the same time, scandals shook one of the monsters of the world sports movement - FIFA, as well as its Russian mini-analogue - the RFU. Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini, Nikolai Tolstykh, Vitaly Mutko... All of them - under different sauces and with different nuances - were sent into retirement. And all this against the background of smaller scandals - fire-play in Europe, embarrassments with the unjustified strengthening of the "limit" on foreigners and, finally, the "cherry on the cake" - the notorious "fan card" - fan-ID.
After the World Cup Russia received a wonderful legacy - modern stadiums. Soccer infrastructure has taken many steps forward at once. Why did not soccer in Russia make a sharp leap forward? But the world - rushed, and how! The author of the book is trying to find honest answers to this and other soccer questions.
