Young men, men and even women - everyone is looking forward to new matches and competitions and not in vain. Football is a fascinating and bewitching game, the result of which is simply impossible to predict in advance and this is what attracts fans.
Today we propose to talk about notorious Russian football, to recall the most outstanding clubs and their games, and we will not forget to talk about world football and its representatives.
Location of Russian football clubs in seniority
To begin with, let's talk about where this popular game today originates from. Football, according to what is now popular, was born back in 1850, in the UK, when John Tring met with the organizers of private schools for the only purpose - to create and accept constant rules for the game. The discussion lasted almost eight hours, but in the end a document appeared, which was called "Cambridge Rules".
In 1870, the old Sheffield’s old club issues its own list of rules for playing football. Ten points from this list were later approved by FIFA. Thanks to these rules, judges, arbitrators and other specialists were added to the game. Such an innovation reduced the number of disputes on the football field between the players.
In 1904, a meeting of football figures was held in Paris. The purpose of this meeting was nothing more than the creation of a new football organization. According to the results of the negotiations, the charter of the new organization was adopted and its first members were determined. So the famous International Football Federation was born.
In 1930, the FIFA World Cup took place for the first time (in the Russian-speaking version, it is better known as the World Cup). Today you can recall and count a huge number of football clubs in Russia. However, old -timers of Russian football deserve special attention.
- Football club "Banner of Labor" - Founded by simple English workers of the Morozov factory on November 16, 1909. The team was often called "Morozovites." The highest achievement for the club was the access to the final of the USSR Cup in 1962. Also, already in the amateur zone in 2006, the club became the winner of the third division.
- Football club "Chernomorets" - It was created in the city of Novorossiysk. The club was founded in 1907. In the championships, he began to play only in 1960. Unfortunately, a swift rise ended with a rapid fall, which led to a loss of professional license in 2005. But having renamed Novorossiysk, the club began to play in the amateur league and achieved very good results, which were also replaced by failures later. Due to constant take-offs and falls, this football club was nicknamed with a team of lift, but from this he did not become less loved by his fans.
- You can’t help but recall the famous CSKA. This Russia's football club is one of the oldest and most titled. He takes its beginning in the distant 1911. Just imagine, the club is a five -time owner of the USSR Cup, the seven -time owner of the Russian Cup, the seven -time champion of the USSR and this is far from all its achievements. It must also be said that CSKA is the first football club in Russia, which became the owner of the UEFA Cup. Another interesting fact is that this particular football club was the first to collect the originals of all trophies.
- Another outstanding club in Russian football is a football club "Kuban". FC is from Krasnodar. Founded in 1928. Fans call players Kuban, canaries and toads. Players, as a rule, are called ill -wishers. So, this football club also has something to boast. In 1948, 1962, 1973 and 1987. The club was able to become the champion of the RSFSR, in 2012-2013. It takes 5th place in the Premier League, and already in 2014-2015. "Kuban" becomes the finalist of the Cup of Russia. However, we need to recall less pleasant facts about the games of this club. In 1956, 4:11 Kuban suffered the largest defeat from the "oil industry", and already in 1997 she again repeated her sad experience and with a score of 0: 6 gave the victory to Metallurg.
FC Spartak, Moscow: History, achievements
One of the oldest football clubs is the Spartak club. It was created in Moscow on April 18, 1922
- In the distant 1883, appeared RGO "Falcon" (Russian gymnastic society). But football was added to the list of games only after a couple of years. And until that moment, the RGO was engaged in winter games and gymnastics. In the summer, they shot a house, a park and held games for people of different age categories.
- In the spring of 1922, the RGO “Sokol” decided regarding the change of name, after which they began to call themselves - “Moscow Sports Circle” (ISS). In the same spring, the ISS held a friendly match with the Zamoskvoretskaya sports team. With a score of 3: 2, the former "falcons" won. After a short time, the ISS built its own stadium and began selling tickets for its game. But the club’s enterprise did not end there, to conquer the universal interest in their ISS, they began to ride throughout Russia with exit matches.
- In the fall of 1934, the leadership decided to once again change the name of its club. This time it was decided to name the Spartak club. Spartak is a Roman gladiator who fought for his freedom and who managed to raise a rebellion in the Roman Empire - perhaps this information used the leadership of the former Sokolov.
- One cannot help but recall the person who took a direct part in the upbringing of the legend. In 1937, Konstantin Kvashnin trained the national team. It was thanks to his strategy and preparation in 1938 to Spartak received a golden place.
- A year later, Kvashnina was replaced by Peter Popov. Replacing the coach did not affect the game of the team. They also showed excellent results. They won the country's Cup, received the Union Championship.
- Unfortunately, victories and defeats are not always dependent on players and training. In the distant 1941, the Patriotic War interrupted the USSR championship. Most of the players were called to the front line.
- At the end of the war, the government decided to resume the USSR championship, but Spartak was no longer the same, completely different players, a new coach.
- Two years after the end of the Great Patriotic War, after rehabilitation, former coach Konstantin Kvashnin returned to the team. With the help of Constantine, the club opened the door for everyone, and a huge number of new talents joined the ranks of Spartak.
- Daily work on themselves and tiring training soon had their fruits. In 1947, Spartak won seven matches in a row, without a single defeat.
- A little later, the football club spent about 20 rounds in Russia.
- The next year for the club was extremely successful. They were able to take away the victory from the champions of past years.
- In 1949, the next change of the coach took place. Abram Dungulov comes to the place of Konstantin Kvashnin. In the match of the Cup of the USSR, Spartak defeated rivals with an incredible result of 17: 1! Among the losers were the Moscow Dynamo and the former champions - the CDA.
- In 1990 Spartak still remained in the leaders of Russian football. Oleg Romantsev became the coach at that time. Two years later, the team was able to get the championship title in Russia for the third time without Fiasco.
- In 1995, Spartak received a bronze cup. Having passed forward the Moscow locomotive and Spartak (Alania).
- In 1996, another shift in the coach took place. They became George Yartsev. But as this happens in Spartak, O. Romantsev returned to the post of head coach a year later. And not in vain, because the next five years the club six times became the champion of Russia.
- The period from 2001 to 2002 was not sweet for the team. In the European Cup at the group stage, they lost with a score of 1:18. They suffered 6 lesions in a row. In the same difficult time, Andrei Chervichenko comes to the president of the club.
- Huge problems began in 2008. In the first part of the Spartak championship, he showed a terrible game. The most shameful for the club was to lose to its sworn enemy CSKA with a score of 1: 5. As a result, two main players were sent to the bench: Yegor Titov and Maxim Kalinichenko (after some time they left the club).
- To date, the team of the team is the Italian Massimo Carrera. Under his leadership, Spartak received the champion title for the first time after 16 years.
- The Spartak football team has almost 40 trophies on its account, which makes it the most titled club in Russia. Nobody except them ever won the Double six times in a row.
FC Lokomotiv, Moscow: History, achievements
This team at the beginning of its career often changed its name. The first mention of the team appears in 1922, then it was called the "Kazan." From 1922 to the 1930s, the club was called "Cor" (Club of the October Revolution). But a year later, the club decided to return the first name. Four years later, the team again changed the name. Now they began to be called Lokomotiv.
- In the 1950s, a team from Moscow had the strongest players for the entire time of its existence. In many ways, I need to say “thank you” to the Minister of Iron Railways to Boris Grashchev, because it was he who brought to the club the well -known coach Boris Arkadiev in those years. Arkadyev scrupulously and leisurely gathered bit by bit a team, which in 1957 became the owner of the USSR Cup. With the help of the team captain Valentin Bubukin in the final game, they managed to beat Spartak. In those years, the match collected an incredible number of spectators at the stadium - 100,000. This amount was record for the USSR at that time.
- At the end of 1958, Evgeny Eliseev entered the coach. A year later, Lokomotiv first received the silver medal of the championship of the Soviet Union.
- V. Filatov was the president of the team for almost 14 years. The role of the coach was Vladimir Estrekov and Yuri Semin (from 1992 to 2006).
- The first match of the Euro Cup was played in the fall of 1993. Lokomotiv lost to Juventus (3: 0). Two years later, the team returned to the European Cup and was able to defeat Bavaria (1: 0). The next seasons for two years turned out to be less successful, and the club received a fifth or post.
- From 1998 to 2001 Lokomotiv won three bronze and one silver.
- We will return to the coaching staff again. For almost nineteen years, the legendary Yuri Semin cooked the team. However, after such a long work, he was dismissed, and the glorious Muslin came in his place. Under his department, the team was able to win seventeen times without a single loss. They had every chance of the champion title in the match against Zyult-Waregem, but, unfortunately, they suffered a fiasco.
- Time goes on, and with it the next changes take place. To date, the team coach is Yuri Semin, and Ilya Gerus is president.
FC Zenit, St. Petersburg: History, achievements
The Zenit football club from St. Petersburg is the third most senior football club in Russia.
- It is officially believed that Zenit's birthday on May 25, 1925, although there was a very, very much dispute about the exact date of the founding of the football club. Some believe that it was created in 1914, while others believe that the club was founded in 1936. In the total amount, the number of foundation dates was a little more than five. But still, the majority came to a general opinion-May 25, 1925.
- Already just before the first championship of the USSR of 1936, the club was dissatisfied with the then coach and in this regard, Peter Filippov was put on his post. He is considered a connoisseur of victorious strategies in the world of football. At the very beginning of the career, the team called the LMZ Named after Stalin.
- In the first Cup of the USSR, the club smashed the Moscow “Lokomotiv” with a colossal margin of six goals (6: 1).
- In 1939, the Stalinets (the so-called Zenit was called in those days) came close to the final of the USSR Cup. But the "Zenitians" failed to get it. They could not beat the then composition of Spartak.
- During the war, leading athletes LMZ were transferred to the evacuated GOMZ (state optical-mechanical plant). During this period, a huge number of Leningrad players died.
- Five years later, the participants were able to play again, the coach was occupied by Konstantin Lemeshev. Over the years of Lemeshev’s training, Zenit was able to get only two victories.
- In the 1950s, the team was able to win eleven games without defeats. Unfortunately, at the end of the season they lost six times in a row, and received only fifth place in the championship.
- In 1955, the team coach changed. Now they have become Arkady Alov. His policy was extremely simple. To gain young and strong players, but this approach did not save the situation. Due to his inexperience in the teaching, Alla could not bring the command forward. Zenit played sluggishly and without any desire for victory.
- In 1956, the team took ninth place from the twelve possible.
- The defeat of the team before the Moscow Torpedo exploded a flurry of negative emotions among the Zenit fans and they arranged a real riot. This action ended with mass arrests. The result of such lawlessness was the dismissal of the composition of the coaches, as well as the leadership of the club. Georgy Zharkov was the new coach. A few years later, under the leadership of George, Zenit was able to win over the Moscow “Spartak” (4: 2).
- In 1961, Evgeny Eliseev came to the Zenit team. His radical measures, by the type of refusal from the outdated Double-VE system (3-2-5) played into the hands. And in the same year, the team installed a new bar for the scored goals for one game. They defeated “Zalgiris” (7: 0), Tbilisi Dynamo (5: 0). The Zenitites were not going to stop and held 16 matches without a single defeat.
- Thanks to the collapse of the USSR in 1991, Zenit rose to the upper league. However, this could not help the club, both financially and in organizational.
- At the end of the 2002 season, the then president of Zenit, Vitaliy Mutko showed the team of the new coach, he was powerful Petril. Together with his connection to the team, players from the Czech Republic, Slovakia also came.
