Valery Shmarov: now all the attention is on my son. Footballer Valery Shmarov: “Voronezh football is a scorched earth for many years - So after all, a foreign coach is good or bad

On Sunday, February 12, in the Vinyl cafe, a meeting of Fakel fans with Valery Shmarov took place. Champion of the USSR and Russia as part of Spartak - 1987, 1989, 1996, Silver medalist of the 1991 USSR Championship, Bronze medalist of the 1995 Russian Championship, Top scorer of the 1990 USSR Championship (12 goals), Winner of the USSR Football Federation Cup: 1987, Valery Shmarov was included in the list of 33 best players of the 1995 Russian Championship.

The sports life and playing career of our famous fellow countryman is known to all football fans of the former USSR and Russia, but Voronezh fans are always ready to talk with the star of domestic football and remember once again how it all began. Valery came to meet us with his youngest son Yegor, who strives to become a famous football player like his father. Forwards. At his age, Egor is not inferior to his peers, and even surpasses them in his technical skills.

Egor started playing the ball at the age of two. You should see what he does with the ball,” Valery says about his youngest.

Except simple communication Over a cup of tea, we asked a few questions specifically for our site. We bring to your attention the answers to our questions.

- Let's remember how your football career began? Who brought you into football?

Like many boys, we played football in the yard, we kicked the ball around from an early age, we had a lot of fields, both asphalt and a box and a school field, so there was a place to play. The older guys signed up for the section, they told the coach: "... we have little ones there, do you want to see?.." the coach once passed by, we played, he liked it. About two days later I was sitting with a friend, watching “Four Tank Men and a Dog” on TV, and the doorbell rang. We open it, back then it was possible to open it for everyone, then there weren’t even peepholes yet, we look, there’s this guy standing there and he says:

- Are you...(such and such, such and such)?

- Do you want to play football?

- Want.

- Well, come.. (there, there).
At Lokomotiv, he worked there then.

- How to do this reacted parents ?

I was born in Otrozhka, we lived there for a long time. My father worked for Thälmann and picked me up from training, and the Lokomotiv stadium was one stop from his work. And when we moved to the area of ​​st. Ostuzhev, my parents took him to training until our coach (Vladimir Evgenievich Nikitenko) moved from Lokomotiv to Kristall, inviting us with him. The Crystal stadium was not far from home, and one of them already started going to training there.

- Your debut at Fakel in the match against Spartak (Kostroma) and your first goal against Guria. How was it?

Viktor Semenovich Maryenko trusted me and gradually brought the young me to the main team. He gave me a ticket to big football. I don’t remember exactly the attack in the match with Lanchkhuti. One of our guys shoots, the goalkeeper hits the ball while falling and the ball flies up, I run and head the ball into the empty goal. I was very happy to distinguish myself at home in front of my fans.

- By the way, just a question about playing with your head. They wrote that this is not your strongest trait. What is it connected with?

Yes, since little attention is paid to this element of the game, at all ages. Of course, towards the end of my career, when I was almost thirty, I began to understand how to fight at the top. In fact, this should be taught as early as possible.

- “Fakel” in 1984-85 - is this the best page in the history of the club?

- Yes, the team played very well then, and both the players and the fans received true pleasure from the game!

- What do you remember about the 1984 USSR Cup semi-final? « Zenith » -"Torch"?

We managed to play on equal terms with the future champion of the USSR in 1984. At the crowded Kirov Stadium, where 70 thousand spectators are cheering against you, we did not flinch and played our football. And of course, the support of our many fans was palpable, who arrived at the match and unfurled many posters and homemade flags.

- After “Fakel” you served in the army, SKA Khabarovsk . Call in CSKA, where did you score 29 goals in the first league and suddenly were not needed by the army club during the transition tournament?

Yes, no, why not? I played the first three games. And there we practically lost our chances. In my opinion, we lost two games and played one in a draw or lost three straight away, I didn’t see the point of staying in the first league in CSKA, I resisted until the last moment so as not to remain there in the army.

- You returned to the Voronezh club and spent a season in the first league...

We didn't get off to a good start, but after a streak of 11 victories, we got closer to the tournament leaders. Game with the capital"Lokomotiv" , or rather the work of the referees in this match, ruined the whole season. On next year at the invitation of Konstantin Ivanovich Beskov, he transferred to the Moscow"Spartak".

- Top scorer of the 1990 USSR Championship (12 goals) together with Protasov. How did you achieve this?

There are no miracles, as they say, work, work and work.

- Compared to the season in CSKA (29 goals), the result is « Spartak » Was it a level higher?

Certainly!

- Experience came, plus, probably, partners who were more skilled at Spartak?

Definitely! In Spartak the game was already staged, everyone knew what was required of them. Over the three years spent at Spartak, the connections have been played out, as they say. Could have scored more this year... He played more matches than Protasov. But they scored the same.

- Does a young football player who finds himself in a capital club need to win a place in the main team and earn respect from the team veterans?

Well, yes, that’s how it was in 1987 when I just came to Spartak. If I had immediately come from CSKA without returning to Fakel, there, of course, the conversation would have been different. After all, the best scorer of the first league, but here it seems like he came from Voronezh and the attitude is completely different. That was 29 goals, and here it was 12 in '86. True, he counted 21 assists.

- Game with « Real » , 100 thousand spectators at the Santiago Bernabeu, when "Spartacus" won 3:1, you are third scored a goal . What are your impressions of the match and how is the atmosphere at the stadium?

The stadium there accommodated about 110 thousand, in my opinion, it was full then. The Spanish fans pushed theirs forward from the first minutes, in the 9th minute there was a mistake by our defenders in the center of the field and Butraguenio scored 0:1. While we were coming to our senses, it was hard for us, Madrid had a couple more dangerous moments, but we survived. Then they pulled themselves together... walked along the edge, moved to the center, shot, post, ball to Radchenko, and he scored into an empty goal. 1:1. They immediately forgive us, a corner kick and a shot against the crossbar of our goal. Our answer: Shmarov - Shalimov - Radchenko 2:1. And everything, everything fell into place. Real Madrid created almost nothing else in attack. “Spartak” took control of the game and we were sure that they would never score two goals on us. Well, then, when the third goal was scored, everything became clear to everyone, as they say.

- Then did the Spanish fans somehow react to this?

- “White handkerchiefs”, in my opinion, appeared in the stands and at the end, they were already applauding"Spartak" . Everyone saw that the game was ending under our control and Real, helpless, could do nothing.

- And with such an audience, don’t you get goosebumps?

They fled when Diego Maradona played Napoli. In Moscow it came down to a penalty shootout. That's when they fled. But in Spain, with the score 3:1, no. At first, of course, at 0:1 there was not much, but when they equalized everything became normal.

- The victorious Spartak spirit, from your point of view, what is it?

It's hard for me to explain it like that. When I joined the team, I immediately realized that I had to rebuild, change something in myself, because everyone there, in their place, had to not give in, first of all. You must first compete for a place in the squad, and then play on the football field in such a way as to prove to everyone, fans and management, that you are worthy. And all this was imbued in each football player, who became entrenched in the team. You know yourself, up to fifty people passed through during the winter, and only one or two remained... Those who were strong in spirit remained.

- But even in « Dynamo » and it was the same in CSKA, but for some reason « Spartacus » did you win all the time? What kind of secret is that?

At the beginning of the 70s, Spartak won practically nothing. Then, with the arrival of Beskov, the team began to revive. This means that everything must be linked to the talent of the coach.

- About Germany. The new rise of Karlsruhe is associated with your appearance in the team. What do you think, can I say so?

You can say that. But, I attribute this more to the rejuvenation of the team. When I came, it was hard for the first six months; I didn’t know the language. There came a winter break and I got a little accustomed to a foreign country. And then there was a series of injuries to the main players. The coach had no choice, he put six young guys, and we were in the second round, in my opinion we only lost two games and were on an incredible schedule. As a result, for the first time in history, Karlsruhe rose to 8th place. Then he realized that this team could be molded into something and they bribed Kiryakov, Kahn came young, just in my second year, Scholl grew up, they bribed Bender from Bayern, Rolf, two players from the German national team, they took Schuster and Reich, so we There was a very decent team and this shouldn’t be connected only with my joining the team. The team strengthened very much the next year, we played well for a year, took sixth place, but could have aspired to a higher place. And in my last third year, we were generally in the top three until the last round, and only due to our stupidity, as I think, and the stupidity of the coach, we only repeated last year’s result. Our last game is with Wattenscheid, the team was eliminated, that’s all, and we are in third place. If we play in a draw, we take third place, if we lose by one goal, we take fourth place, if we lose with a larger score, and the teams Bremen, Kaiserslautern, and others there win their matches with a large score, then they overtake us. The team is eliminated... the coach is in disarray, he didn’t set up the team, and in the end it ended up 1:5. And everyone else won as they should, and we are again in sixth place... And that’s it, the team is cracked.

- What is the difference between the German Bundesliga and the Union Championship? Or can they not be compared?

Of course you can't compare. I went to Germany then for a reason. This country became the FIFA World Cup champion in 1990. in Italy. I really wanted to check what kind of football players there were. In those days, the Union Championship was of a very high level. But in general it is difficult to compare these tournaments. But when I returned to my homeland, the level of the German Bundesliga was not comparable to the Russian Major League. He arrived in Moscow in a semi-disassembled state and scored 16 goals in 20 games. Does this mean something?!

- Did the Korean period of your career give you anything?

Didn't give anything. It was a mistake. One coach called, we played three games, firstly, if only I knew then what was there and how. A ninth team was created, that is, everyone who was expelled from the eight teams was taken to the ninth team. Naturally, everyone is the weakest there, and there are three of us. Shmarov, Zhenya Kuznetsov and Andryukha Sidelnikov from Dnieper. What could you come up with? I was driving there, thinking the team was ready, but there they gathered all the worst ones. We lost three games, the coach was fired. A new one has arrived. But this one doesn’t want to see us.

- It's clear. Then, after traveling around Russia, we returned to Voronezh, how did you come up with the idea to create the Shmarov Center?

At the farewell match it was announced that there would be a football school named after Shmarov (an initiative of the then governor of the Voronezh region - Kovalev A.Ya.). A year has passed, and now we have organized a special football class at school No. 73, where he works as a director. We recruited children and began to slowly develop. When they grew up, they decided to enter the Region. Then they began to study more seriously and showed up for the KFC. Then it went, went.

- But 2008 came, when the FCSH began to enter the 2nd League. Did you have any chances FCSH like "Torch" show up?

We didn’t even have such a thought. I kept saying in France PSG, and here we have FCS. Moreover, “Fakel” existed at that time.

- And in the same 2008, no one contacted you with a proposal to join efforts to revive "Torch" ?

Some negotiations were underway. Merny participated in this as president of the club. We decided how Chursanov would help financially so that promising FCSH players would move to Fakel-Stroy-Art. In the end, nothing was decided, nothing was agreed upon.

- What happened at the end of 2008? How did the regional leadership decide to return "Torch" based on your FCS?

In the regional "Dynamo" Almost all the players left and there was no team as such. At FCSH, the crisis affected our main sponsor, and the city authorities did not provide us with the promised support. It was decided to join forces and try to revive"Torch" . When I had a conversation with the regional leadership about creating"Fakela" based on my "FTsSh-73" , then I immediately announced that I don’t have football players, but there is a set of people who can become football players, but for this I needed three years. I’ve been working for two years; in the third year, set any task. They tell me: “Of course, go ahead.”

But in the end it wasn't like that...

- But tell me, as a coach, what didn’t work out for you that year?

I succeeded. Everything I planned, I did. Completed all my tasks...

- Your model worked. You are the only one in Voronezh who didn’t just say that it is necessary to build a structure from a children’s team to a professional one, you built it. It's a shame there wasn't a sequel. How do you assess the current situation?"Torch" ? What can fans expect from the team in the third round?

What can I say? You see everything for yourself. The result will decide everything.

- Question from fan Yu.S. Rogulkin: Do we have a chance to ever see Valery Valentinovich Shmarov in the structure of the Voronezh club “Fakel”?

Unlikely anytime soon.

- But do you have such a desire?

Yes, I always had a desire to make a team. Money doesn't solve everything. But here there must be, first of all, the desire of the leadership, its interest, and of course, time. There should be a team of professionals, but it’s not like that - one person wanted it, and they started. And it shouldn’t be like I just told you about Korea. Those who are not needed in other teams should not play in “Fakel”, they have nothing to do here, what are they..., they fiddled around and were eliminated again. And it will be like this all the time until 6-7 Voronezh guys play in the base. The matches of my “FCSH-73” against Dynamo Voronezh and “Fakel-Voronezh” under my leadership against FSA clearly demonstrated the right course of development. Or we need to do it the old fashioned way, recruit people, marry them here and make a contract for 5-7 years. Sign them so that they grow roots here. As it happened with the team that beat Spartak. Savchenkov got married and stayed, Pimushin got married and stayed, Minaev too, Shashkin, Soshenko, Mirshchirov, Semin... again Beskrovny...

- Like Gennady Semin myself feels?

Ugh, ugh, ugh I saw him, he looks good, as if he had never been sick.

- What for you means the Fakel team and the city of Voronezh ? And what form do you see for the team?

Here's another sore point."Torch" - this is the club that gave me the way to professional football. I always returned with joy to my home team, but from year to year, nothing changed there for the better. And Voronezh is the city in which I was born and raised and it will always be my favorite!

If we take the uniform, then the current generation of fans does not know that “Fakel” was born in a striped uniform and “Fakel” played its first game in a striped uniform.

My team will always play in striped uniforms. There was a main uniform: white and blue stripes, and a reserve uniform of white and red, as in 1978.

- Fans against the striped uniform. Our principal rival, the notorious club (events of 1999) - Saratov Sokol, plays in a blue and white striped uniform and for"Torch" This form is no longer perceived by us. We have a proposal, remember your home uniform? « Blackburn Rovers » :

Valery Valentinovich Shmarov(February 23, Voronezh) - Soviet and Russian football player, forward.

Career

Club

He started playing football at the Voronezh sports school with coach Vladimir Evgenievich Nikitenko. In 1982, he made his debut for Fakel in the First League, as a cadet at the Voronezh Higher Military Aviation Engineering School, in a match against Spartak Kostroma. In the next game against Guria, he scored the first goal in his professional career. In 1984, Spartak coach Konstantin Ivanovich Beskov drew attention to the player (especially after the USSR Cup game, when Fakel beat the Muscovites). However, in the same year, Shmarov was drafted into the army and, according to the directive, was sent to Khabarovsk. He spent five months in Khabarovsk SKA, played for the reserve team under a different name - Igor Protasov (who was injured at that time), scored 11-12 goals, which helped Protasov become the third top scorer of the tournament. In 1985 he played for CSKA, which was relegated from the Major League the year before. That season he became the top scorer, scoring 29 times in 40 matches. However, the team failed to directly qualify for the top league and had to play in a transition tournament. After the failure of the first two games, Shmarov was expelled from the team and sent to the barracks. He served in the army until December 31, 1985, after which he was demobilized. After CSKA he returned to Voronezh for a year. Together with the team, he was supposed to return to the major league, but in one of the decisive games against Lokomotiv Moscow, the team was “killed” by the judges - Fakel was not counted for 3 goals scored, and the Voronezh team lost 0:2. In 1987, he decided to move to Spartak Moscow, where he successfully played for 5 years, becoming a champion twice, scoring in the final match of the 1989 championship in the last minute with a “golden goal” against Dynamo Kyiv. In 1991, he left for Germany, where three played the season together with Kiryakov, Kan, Bilic for Karlsruhe. He played first in attack, then on the left in midfield. Sergei Kiryakov often scored from his passes. IN last year Winfried Schaefer put Shmarov in defense, which, as a result, led to the player leaving the team. B moved to Arminia, which at the end of the season advanced from the regional Oberliga to the second Bundesliga. However, the season did not yield anything, and after that he decided to return to Russia. Spartak bought the transfer from Karlsruhe and promptly announced the player for the championship. The 1995 season at Spartak turned out to be successful: 16 goals in 20 matches (3rd place in the scoring competition). In 1996, after several games of the season, not finding mutual understanding with the new head coach Georgy Yartsev, he left to play in South Korea, where he spent only 3 months (although he signed a contract for 1.5 years). From 1997 to 2001 he played for his native club, which balanced between the first and top divisions. He ended his career at Arsenal Tula in the Second Division, and his 17-year-old son Denis Shmarov also played for Arsenal at the same time. On May 25, 2003, a farewell match between Fakel and Spartak took place in Voronezh. He played half for both teams and scored four goals.

Excerpt characterizing Shmarov, Valery Valentinovich

– II est venu bien jeune se frotter a nous. [He came to compete with us when he was young.]
“Youth doesn’t stop you from being brave,” Sukhtelen said in a breaking voice.
“Excellent answer,” said Napoleon. - Young man, you will go far!
Prince Andrei, who, to complete the trophy of the captives, was also put forward, in full view of the emperor, could not help but attract his attention. Napoleon apparently remembered that he had seen him on the field and, addressing him, used the same name young man- jeune homme, under which Bolkonsky was reflected in his memory for the first time.
– Et vous, jeune homme? Well, what about you, young man? - he turned to him, - how do you feel, mon brave?
Despite the fact that five minutes before this, Prince Andrei could say a few words to the soldiers carrying him, he now, directly fixing his eyes on Napoleon, was silent... All the interests that occupied Napoleon seemed so insignificant to him at that moment, so petty seemed to him his hero himself, with this petty vanity and joy of victory, in comparison with that high, fair and kind sky that he saw and understood - that he could not answer him.
And everything seemed so useless and insignificant in comparison with the strict and majestic structure of thought that was caused in him by the weakening of his strength from the bleeding, suffering and the imminent expectation of death. Looking into Napoleon's eyes, Prince Andrei thought about the insignificance of greatness, about the insignificance of life, the meaning of which no one could understand, and about the even greater insignificance of death, the meaning of which no one living could understand and explain.
The emperor, without waiting for an answer, turned away and, driving away, turned to one of the commanders:
“Let them take care of these gentlemen and take them to my bivouac; let my doctor Larrey examine their wounds. Goodbye, Prince Repnin,” and he, moving his horse, galloped on.
There was a radiance of self-satisfaction and happiness on his face.
The soldiers who brought Prince Andrei and removed from him the golden icon they found, hung on his brother by Princess Marya, seeing the kindness with which the emperor treated the prisoners, hastened to return the icon.
Prince Andrei did not see who put it on again or how, but on his chest, above his uniform, he suddenly found an icon on a small gold chain.
“It would be good,” thought Prince Andrei, looking at this icon, which his sister hung on him with such feeling and reverence, “it would be good if everything were as clear and simple as it seems to Princess Marya. How nice it would be to know where to look for help in this life and what to expect after it, there, beyond the grave! How happy and calm I would be if I could say now: Lord, have mercy on me!... But to whom will I say this? Either the power is indefinite, incomprehensible, which I not only cannot address, but which I cannot express in words - the great all or nothing,” he said to himself, “or is it that God who is sewn up here, in this palm, Princess Marya? Nothing, nothing is true, except the insignificance of everything that is clear to me, and the greatness of something incomprehensible, but most important!
The stretcher started moving. With each push he again felt unbearable pain; the feverish state intensified, and he began to become delirious. Those dreams of his father, wife, sister and future son and the tenderness that he experienced on the night before the battle, the figure of the small, insignificant Napoleon and the high sky above all this, formed the main basis of his feverish ideas.
A quiet life and calm family happiness in Bald Mountains seemed to him. He was already enjoying this happiness when suddenly little Napoleon appeared with his indifferent, limited and happy look at the misfortune of others, and doubts and torment began, and only the sky promised peace. By morning, all the dreams mixed up and merged into the chaos and darkness of unconsciousness and oblivion, which, in the opinion of Larrey himself, Doctor Napoleon, were much more likely to be resolved by death than by recovery.
“C"est un sujet nerveux et bilieux," said Larrey, "il n"en rechappera pas. [This is a nervous and bilious man, he will not recover.]
Prince Andrey, among other hopelessly wounded, was handed over to the care of the residents.

At the beginning of 1806, Nikolai Rostov returned on vacation. Denisov was also going home to Voronezh, and Rostov persuaded him to go with him to Moscow and stay in their house. At the penultimate station, having met a comrade, Denisov drank three bottles of wine with him and, approaching Moscow, despite the potholes of the road, did not wake up, lying at the bottom of the relay sleigh, near Rostov, which, as it approached Moscow, came more and more to impatience.
“Is it soon? Soon? Oh, these unbearable streets, shops, rolls, lanterns, cab drivers!” thought Rostov, when they had already signed up for their holidays at the outpost and entered Moscow.
- Denisov, we’ve arrived! Sleeping! - he said, leaning forward with his whole body, as if by this position he hoped to speed up the movement of the sleigh. Denisov did not respond.
“Here is the corner of the intersection where Zakhar the cabman stands; Here he is Zakhar, and still the same horse. Here is the shop where they bought gingerbread. Soon? Well!
- To which house? - asked the coachman.
- Yes, over there at the end, how can you not see! This is our home,” said Rostov, “after all, this is our home!” Denisov! Denisov! We'll come now.
Denisov raised his head, cleared his throat and did not answer.
“Dmitry,” Rostov turned to the footman in the irradiation room. - After all, this is our fire?
“That’s exactly how daddy’s office is lit up.”
– Haven’t gone to bed yet? A? How do you think? “Don’t forget to get me a new Hungarian at once,” Rostov added, feeling the new mustache. “Come on, let’s go,” he shouted to the coachman. “Wake up, Vasya,” he turned to Denisov, who lowered his head again. - Come on, let's go, three rubles for vodka, let's go! - Rostov shouted when the sleigh was already three houses away from the entrance. It seemed to him that the horses were not moving. Finally the sleigh took to the right towards the entrance; Above his head Rostov saw a familiar cornice with chipped plaster, a porch, a sidewalk pillar. He jumped out of the sleigh as he walked and ran into the hallway. The house also stood motionless, unwelcoming, as if it did not care about who came to it. There was no one in the hallway. "My God! is everything alright? thought Rostov, stopping for a minute with a sinking heart and immediately starting to run further along the entryway and familiar, crooked steps. The same door handle of the castle, for the uncleanness of which the countess was angry, also opened weakly. One tallow candle was burning in the hallway.

Valery Shmarov began playing football at the Voronezh sports school with coach Vladimir Evgenievich Nikitenko.

In 1982, he made his debut for Fakel in the First League, as a cadet at the Voronezh Military Aviation Technical School, in a match against Spartak Kostroma. In the next game against Guria, he scored the first goal in his professional career.

In 1984, Spartak coach Konstantin Ivanovich Beskov drew attention to the player (especially after the USSR Cup game, when Fakel beat the Muscovites). However, in the same year, Shmarov was drafted into the army and, according to the directive, was sent to Khabarovsk. He spent five months in Khabarovsk SKA, playing for the reserve team under someone else’s name - Igor Protasov (SKA actually had such a player, but was injured at that time).

In 1985 he played for CSKA, which was relegated from the Major League the year before. That season, Shmarov became the top scorer, scoring 29 times in 40 matches. However, the team failed to directly qualify for the top league and had to play in a transition tournament. Having failed the first 2 games, Shmarov was expelled from the team and sent to the barracks. He served in the army until December 31, 1985, after which he was demobilized.

After CSKA he returned to Voronezh for a year. Together with the team, he was supposed to return to the major league, but in one of the decisive games against Lokomotiv Moscow, the team was “killed” by the judges - Fakel was not counted for 3 goals scored, and the Voronezh team lost 0:2.

In 1987, he decided to move to Spartak Moscow, where he successfully played for 5 years, becoming champion twice, scoring a last-minute “golden goal” in the final match of the 1989 championship against Dynamo Kyiv and sharing the laurels of top scorer with Oleg Protasov championship 1990.

In 1991 he left for Germany, where he played three seasons for Karlsruhe. He played first in attack, then on the left in midfield. Sergei Kiryakov often scored from his passes. In the last year, Winfried Schaefer put Shmarov in defense, which, as a result, led to the player leaving the team.

In 1995 he moved to Arminia, which at the end of the season advanced from the regional Oberliga to the second Bundesliga. However, the season did not bring anything to Shmarov, and after that the footballer decided to return to Russia. Spartak bought the transfer from Karlsruhe and promptly announced the player for the championship.

Best of the day

The 1995 season at Spartak turned out to be successful for Shmarov: 16 goals in 20 matches (3rd place in the scorers' competition). In 1996, after several games of the season, not finding mutual understanding with the new head coach Georgy Yartsev, he left to play in South Korea, where he spent only 3 months (although he signed a contract for 1.5 years).

From 1997 to 2001, Shmarov played for his native club, which balanced between the first and top divisions. Shmarov ended his career at Arsenal Tula in the Second Division, and his 17-year-old son Denis Shmarov also played for Arsenal at the same time.

On May 25, 2003, a farewell match between Fakel and Spartak took place in Voronezh. Shmarov played half for both teams and scored four goals.
