B it was something symbolical. In the right corner the Brazilian perfectly oriented, gave a pass in a penal platform where it was accepted by the guy with the Spanish passport and with summer hammered precisely into gate. Their harmonious game provided to the FIFA World Cup country hostess the second goal in a match with Egypt (3:1) and helped to achieve the second victory in group, so, to leave in a playoffs.
Mario Fernández was born
in the Brazilian São Caetano do Sul. Three years ago he managed to play in a friendly match as a part of the national team Brazil, but since July, 2016 he is Russian. Here six years he plays for TSSKA, Moscow became him the house, and the new homeland found in his face of the reliable player on the right flank of protection.
Denise Cheryshev was born
by br from two red undershirts Russian, and now, having scored three goals, is the second best goal-scorer of tournament.
Not without the aid of two "foreigners" Russians crossed out all forecasts in which them called weaklings and outsiders of tournament. Said that they will be dishonored that become at home a laughing-stock, and that after three games will sit down to watch the FIFA World Cup in front of the TV.
Soccer is able to surprise with
, and occurred opposite: Russian Federation easily beat the first two rivals and established a new record. Still one team in the history of the FIFA World Cup after two meetings had no such ratio (eight heads against one passed).
to Hammerwith br eight times in 180 minutes! So many goals managed to be scored to Spaniards for all gold championship in 2010. But here it is necessary to understand: Russians were simply lucky with lot thanks to which at the beginning of tournament played with two weak opponents, or they are really so good and can think of the bigger?
However, it is probable, it is covered somewhere in the middle. Therefore, for example, Lovchev Eugenie, the former Soviet defender, warns: "During the first match with Saudi Arabia game was not same good, as result".

Though when it trained for
the wards for the championship, at Stanislas Cherchesov, probably, there was a feeling that he plays the Russian roulette. It could or spoil everything, having relied not on that, or to surprise with a right choice.
While at the trainer everything turns out, therefore Russians in euphoria. But they cannot lose control over themselves, because a roulette, and furthermore the Russian — business dangerous.
Now the national team cannot lose everything any more because anyway the championship will end for it with success. But it would be offensive to lose now the head when euphoria can be even more and bring, perhaps, record result for all history.
This time, apparently, there is no threat of internal decomposition of team. When the forward Dzyuba with the son on hands gave interview to television, he emotionally noted: "We as 23 brothers".
in group against Uruguay the Russian national team can go For the last game with quiet heart and learn, on what it is rather capable.
