Salnikov Sergey Vladimirovich Biography

The absolute sense of the ball, the extensive technical baggage needed Sergey Salnikov not to demonstrate circus tricks, but for unstressing, freedom in choosing options for actions. Focus on the right decision of the episode, the implementation of a tactical calculation spiritualized the Salnikovsky performance so that they brought closer to artistic creativity. Sergey Sergeyevich Salnikov was born on September 13 in Krasnodar.

Salnikov’s parents had absolutely nothing to do with sports. Sergei Dmitrievich and Alexander Leonidovna, who was all around, as much as she remembered, called Alla, did not live in marriage for long, and when they divorced, they divided the children. Sergei stayed with his father, and his younger sister was Inga with his mother. Father lived in Tarasovka near Moscow, where he worked as a country commandant, and did not spoil his son with particular attention.

He fed in a horseman-hastily, dry. The mother, who settled with the new family nearby, in Pushkin, helped out. From time to time, Sergey appeared, skinny and hungry, and Alexander Leonidovna, groaning and ahai, poured him a plate of soup. She fed secretly from her new husband - Vladimir Ermolaevich Sergeyev. Seryozha was neither hot nor cold from this new mother’s kinship.

He was busy with his business in his throat. It disappeared for hours on sports grounds, then I read it with binge. The passion for reading was awakened by a grandmother, mother of Alexandra Leonidovna, who was a Greek. Seryozha was eager to find out who the Greeks are and what fate they brought them to our lands. Children's hobby by legends and myths of ancient Hellas over the years grew stronger into a serious familiarization with Greek history, culture and philosophy.

Gradually, it was overgrown with knowledge, ideas gleaned from literary and philosophical classics. For relatives and friends, it was not surprising to see Sergey Sergeyevich with a volume of Ovid or Pasternak in his hands. Moreover, he read even those authors who were banned. For example, the forbidden Danish “bourgeois” philosopher Kierkegaard, not subject to publication in the USSR, was known in the country units, and Salnikov studied some underground translations.

From an early age, left to himself, without any hints of adults, he responded to the call of the blood of distant ancestors and plunged into the enchanting world of ancient Greek gods and heroes.

Since then, classical beauty, having got off the book pages, settled in his soul and became a source of life priorities. The feeling of beautiful hooked in it tennis, the daily summer occupation of many inhabitants of the Tarasovka, which became still in the years a kind of Spartak Mecca. The graceful contractions of slender, flexible athletes in white clothes, with elegant rackets in their hands, attracted Sergei at first even more than football battles, which seemed more rude funny, hefty men.

What did not interfere with him from 10-11 years, along with other “racing”, to earnestly serve the ball from the field to Spartak football players, and at the end of training and games to beg him from Uncle Andrei Starostin, Uncle George Glazkov and other uncles to drive himself. But Seryozha did not sign up in the football, but in the tennis section, which was organized in Tarasovka by the famous Spartak tennis player and hockey player Zigmund.

Little by little, the Tarasovsky boy Seryozha Salnikov changed the vill ball to the leather ball. It was very interesting for him to take the ball flying with a boomerang with a foot, chest, thigh and again direct it into the shield by one foot, then the other, from different distances, at different heights, from the ground and from the summer, direct blows or in the arc. He learned and throw the ball off his foot, to his chest, to shoulder, on his head, not lowering for a long time to the ground.

Gradually, Sergei abandoned the tennis racket for the sake of a soccer ball. So the fate that appeared to him in the person of the Spartak coach Vladimir Ivanovich Gorokhov ordered. At the end of the x, Vladimir Ivanovich, who trained the Youth team Spartak, drew attention to Salnikov in Tarasovka. He once called out to him, who was important with a tennis racket: “We have a match in the evening, and there is not enough attacker.

Maybe you will play? The racket had to be postponed, and not for a while, but forever. When in the year Spartak took a leading position in the Moscow championship among young men, Sergey Salnikov was already so stood out that he was elected the team captain. The young Spartaks won the decisive match with the meat processing plant - and became champions of the capital. So the first football success came to Salnikov in dashing wartime.

The war pushed football into the background. However, she did not cross out from life. The USSR championship was suspended, but Moscow competitions, until the front approached the capital, continued. Sergey Salnikov played his first match for the team of masters at the Stalin Stadium on September 15, a couple of days after he was 17 years old. Burova, under such a cipher, was the team of the CDA.

Meanwhile, part of the Spartakovites went to the city of Korolev near Moscow, where a new team was created at a large military factory - Zenit.It was instructed to train her by the famous specialist Konstantin Pavlovich Kvashnin. The team was the basis of the masters of the Leningrad Zenit, caused by Kazan, where they were evacuated in the fall of the year. Those, in turn, recommended that the coach of a very young Sergey Salnikov.

In the grains, Sergei mastered his first profession-a locksmith-wckler. Among the new partners, Salnikov immediately allocated Peter Dementyev - the legendary Pek. In both eyes, he looked after him in training and in matches, conquered forever his virtuoso dribbling at a frequent, small step and instant start to the ball alternating with a sharp, short brake. Pyotr Timofeevich Dementiev rarely gifted any of the players with favor, but with his data Salnikov made it the impression that he melted and approached him with the words: “That's what, Sergey.

You have abilities. But a sense will come out if you don’t drink, smoke and lay on training. ” All his football years adhered to this commandment of Salnikov: "Football and vodka are incompatible, like a genius and villainy." It is difficult to call another football player who, like Salnikov, lasted in large football for almost 20 years with congenital heart defect. When the blockade was broken, the Leningrad authorities withdrew their players home.

Salnikov came to the court so much that he received a personal invitation to follow them. Sergei agreed: the first time I wanted to play next to the bee itself, and the good "grunts" promised. It turned out, however, that Dementyev, referring to personal reasons, did not go to Leningrad and remains to play for the Moscow “wings of the Soviets”. But the documents for Salnikov were already executed, and it was too late to change his mind.

Years will pass, and Sergey Sergeyevich will not regret at all that he went to Leningrad then, as he would not regret, contrary to the widespread opinion that fate entered him later in Dynamo. All the teams for which Salnikov spoke gave him, in addition to titles and prizes, creative or moral satisfaction. In Zenit - from extraordinary unity and the rise, which was infected by Leningraders after removing the blockade.

In Dynamo - from communication with Mikhail Yakushin, the best of the coaches, with whom, by his own admission, it was to work, and a group of outstanding masters. In Spartak - from the situation of confidence between the coaching staff and players to understanding the field with the best of the partners that he came across. Once at the Dynamo stadium Zenit was a semi -final with Spartak.

At the end of the first half, the best penalist of the country, Spartak, Glazkov, Meterov. The failure of the idol, a few years ago, so upsetting Salnikov, puts him into a state of joyful excitement. And from the flank bastard of Levin-Kogan, he scores a goal of such beauty into the “nine” of the Spartak gates that Alexei Leontyev defending them and after 30 years will not choose an analogue.

Among the tens of thousands of people at the stadium, I did not see how the ball flew into the net, only one person is the author of this masterpiece: while his back to the gate, fell to the ground and only on the rivet of the stands felt enthusiasm that he had not experienced before. The entire stadium standing called the football players of the heroic Leningrad to new exploits.

Hundreds, thousands of fans, running out onto the field, began to pick up and throw up the winners. On someone’s hands, the seals swam into the locker room ... None of the future victories will turn out to be as sweet as in the year-in the literal sense of the word: for the winnings of the USSR Cup, each Zenitovets received a kilogram of chocolate sweets, and Salnikov immediately ate pieces of ten in a row.

For their branded corners, from which they scored scarecrow, Timakov, Konov, Sokolov and others, he will be crowned with the “King of Cornner”, noticeably proceeding in this rank Lobanovsky. Later, Salnikov will go from the edge to the central three, where he himself will no less successfully hit the gate with his head from the flank and other awnings. In the year, Salnikov received an invitation to the Moscow Spartak, which suffered.

This is not to say that his appearance in the team sharply improved the situation 6th place a year and 8th per year. Most likely, the coaching production of the Spartak teams suffered, and therefore the best qualities of Salnikov, who later managed to use other trainers were not used. Salnikov was glad that immediately upon returning to Spartak, he received a more or less solid place there in the main composition, and even next to the idols of childhood.

Little by scoring, it properly served proprietary corner. He frankly rejoiced that his modest person was noticed by Arkadyev himself, who invited the young Spartak to strengthen the championship of the Central Code on a trip to comradely games in Czechoslovakia in the fall of the year. Sergey Salnikov also divided these happy moments with the team, but the bitterness of non -involvement was mixed with the general Spartak joy, since he did not appear in both final matches on the field.Over time, Salnikov developed a habit of getting rid of any post -match emotions as soon as possible, especially negative ones, although the positive could cause high self -esteem and a lightweight perception of the future opponent.

Few could be compared with Salnikov in the focus on victory, in a hunting rage. Actually, playing meant to win for him. Playing anything - in dominoes, cards, on billiards ... And there is no need to talk about football. He tried to remove the spleen as soon as possible in order to calmly understand the reasons and take better into account the mistakes. ” Rarely overshadowed serenity, sometimes turning into a state close to bliss, Salnikov began to firmly experience from football from - years.

His dribbling, resourceful programs organically fit into the context of bravura, combination football, which brought Spartak to the outstanding game of leaders - the CDA and the Moscow Dynamo. The changes were outlined in the year when the old acquaintance received the team - Konstantin Kvashnin, and Alexei Paramonov from the Air Force and the former Zenitsky partner Boris Chuchov appeared in the attack.

Salnikov energetically joined the high -speed whirlpool organized by Nikolai Dementyev, calculating sharply wedging into other people's possessions of Konov and Scarecrow - the main slaughter of the team. In the course of the Championship, Spartak for the first time after the war visited the leaders and ultimately took the 3rd prize. The next season, both for Salnikov and his team, turned out to be even better, although it took the same 3rd place.

He left the Moscow “wings” for the “Spartak” and replacing Kvashnin Abram Dungulov began to add up a new ensemble with a distant sight for spectacular football and the highest sports results. The magnificent Spartak five attacks of the sample of the year looked like this: Paramonov, Terentyev, Simonyan, Dementiev, Salnikov. Swift breakthroughs on the right were replaced in their actions with an intricate combinational bastard of the left wing.

Such a manner of the years will improve and bring to the heights of the command improvisation an even more famous quintet - Tatushin, Isaev, Simonyan, Salnikov, Ilyin with the participation of the net, whom Dungulov only began to allow the main composition in the year.
