My favorite football team is Spartak!
That's strange: the memory ... It seems that sometimes you remember some fragments from childhood, and then - they hack! - and as if someone deleted all the memories of subsequent periods of time. And immediately you begin to torment yourself with the question: "What did I do, damn it?" And you will not find the answer. Here is the same situation, and I have.
If I ask when I started consciously rooting for Spartak, then I will answer that a few years ago. In those days I already knew the team completely, who plays where the coaching staff began actively reading the sports press, in general, at that moment I finally realized that "Spartacus" is my team! And, God knows, she never regretted her choice in the future.
Before, I could not stand football. Nothing personal, it just angered me when my father and my friends watched some guys kick the ball for two hours, and on the other channel there's a bloody cartoon that I've been waiting all day. The situation was aggravated by the fact that UEFA EURO 2000 was held, and football on TV was practically round the clock. Breaking away from watching the cartoon, I went out and played with my friends. In those days I was absolutely "healthy" from football. Before the "infection" was not enough.
Later I knew well who Spartak was, as a historical man. And the movie "Gladiator", which was released at that time, completely destroyed the tower to all who looked at it. And in general, the name of the hero is Maximus, and the times in the film are not "Spartacus", then it did not matter. So, probably, I chose "Spartacus". To greet the team bearing the name of the great gladiator, I found the right decision.
Perhaps, played a role and the fact that "Spartacus" - the Russian team. But the fact remains: after the match my father said that now I must be ill all my life only for the sake of red and white. And since then he left and left.
I love Spartak 🔴⚪
