Aleksandr Mostovoy

Alexander Mostovoy is a talented athlete who has long been considered a symbol of Russian football. The player managed to become an idol not only of his compatriots, but also of the Spaniards. Despite the fact that Alexander has already completed his career on the field, football fans still remember the name of Mostovoy and often remember the beautiful goals that he sent to the opponents' goal.

The future footballer was born on August 22, 1968 in the Leningrad Region - there the boy's father did military service. After some time, Alexander's family moved to Moscow. From early childhood, Mostovoy, following the example of his father, began to play football and hockey.

However, the ball seemed closer to Alexander than the puck, and he remained to train only at the CSKA school. It is interesting that the club's coaches did not notice any talent in the boy, and Mostovoy did not make it to the main team of the army team.

But to Oleg Romantsev, the coach of Krasnaya Presnya, Alexander seemed a promising player. This team at that time was considered the unofficial farm club of the legendary Moscow Spartak.

Talented newcomers and young players passed through Krasnaya Presnya, who later got a chance to get into the main team.

There Mostovoy was immediately noticed by the coach of Spartak Konstantin Beskov, and already in 1987 Alexander became the base of the main rival of the army. From that moment on, Mostovoy's professional football biography began.

In the very first game season, played for Spartak, Alexander Mostovoy, together with his teammates, became the champion of the USSR. Two years later, Mostovoy's surname was already known to all football fans in Russia, and the football player himself was considered the club's main hope.

In 1990, after the team won the European Cup, foreign coaches became interested in Alexander Mostov, and already in 1992 the footballer signed the first foreign contract. Portugal's Benfica became Alexander's new team.

However, in Portugal, Mostovoy did not play well. The only season played by Alexander for Benfica was unsuccessful. The Portuguese coach expressed dissatisfaction with Mostovoy's game, and the footballer went on loan to the French club Kan.

Here Alexander managed to open up and show his talent for virtuoso playing. In the first match the French won thanks to the efforts of Alexander, and at the end of the season Mostovoy, at the invitation of the coach of "Kahn", moved to the more promising club "Strasbourg".

In 1996, the footballer changed the club again. This time Alexander Mostovoy was "bought" by the Spanish "Celta". The athlete spent eight whole playing seasons in this team, winning the love of Spanish fans. Together with Mostov, Celta, a modest provincial club, became a success. And although Celta never became the champion of Spain, they began to seriously reckon with the team.

According to rumors, in Vigo (the hometown of the club) they even planned to erect a monument to Alexander. True, the matter did not go beyond intentions, but Mostovoy became the hero of Celta along with another Russian footballer - Valery Karpin, who played for the Spaniards until 2002.

That period is considered to be "golden" in the football player's career. On the pitch, Alexander showed himself to be a real leader, a playmaker, setting the mood for the team's game. In addition, Mostovoy easily improvised, adjusting to the changing situation on the field, and at any moment could make a move unexpected for the opponent, thereby gaining an advantage. The fans especially remembered the athlete's non-standard dribbling and his famous shot from the free-kick line.

Alexander Mostovoy also played for the national team of the country. In 1990, the footballer made his debut for the national team of the USSR, and then entered the field for the Russian national team. True, Mostovoy's relationship with this team was not always rosy.

In 1997, the footballer was accused of deliberately weak play with the Cypriots - because of the only miss on the opponent's goal. In 2002, Alexander failed to fight in the World Cup due to injury, and two years later Mostovoy was completely expelled from the national team for criticizing Georgy Yartsev, the team's head coach.

In 2004, fans were shocked by the news of Mostovoy's departure from football. Alexander really announced his retirement, although he constantly received lucrative offers from many world-famous clubs. However, the final decision of Mostovoy was not changed by anyone.

They say that Alexander was pushed to this step by resentment for being expelled from the national team, others believe that the football player is simply tired of constant stress and training. Be that as it may, Mostovoy's achievements are still discussed by football fans.

At the end of his professional career, Alexander Mostovoy played for the national beach soccer team of the country for a year, and in 2008, fans managed to see the athlete on the field again: Mostovoy took part in Dmitry Alenichev's farewell match: veterans of the Spartak team and the Spanish Real Madrid met on the field ... The meeting ended in a draw - 4: 4.

Now the footballer, according to rumors, is engaged in his own business, however, he often gives interviews and agrees to comment on the results of a particular game and share his opinion with viewers and radio listeners.

An attractive athlete (Alexander Mostovoy's height is 177 cm, and his weight is 78 kg) never complained about the lack of female attention. However, the first marriage of a football player became fictitious - in 1991 Mostovoy married a Portuguese citizen in order to solve the problem with official papers.

At the time, it was a fairly common way of making it easier for foreigners to get into local football clubs. Later, Alexander admitted with a laugh that he had never even seen his wife.

But the "real" wife of Mostovoy was a Frenchwoman named Stephanie. In this marriage, two children were born - a son, Alexander and a daughter, Emma. Unfortunately, Alexander and Stephanie lived together for only seven years.

According to the footballer, the divorce was painful. Mostovoy's children stayed with their mother, but the athlete often communicates with them, comes to visit and invites them to Russia.

After Mostovoy's marriage broke up, numerous gossips began to appear about the football player's personal life. It was even rumored that the reason for Alexander's divorce was an affair with Yulia Legornova, a member of the musical group Not Married. The piquancy of the situation was also given by the fact that the girl at that time was not 18 years old. However, Mostovoy himself did not comment on these rumors.

In 2018, photos of Alexander Mostovoy again appeared on the pages of news publications, as well as football fan groups on Instagram, Twitter and other social networks. This time the occasion was the release of Viktor Khokhlyuk's book “Our Football Legends. Goleadors of the former USSR in football battles abroad ”.

In this large-scale work, the biographer and statistician found a lot of information about outstanding Soviet and Russian footballers, collecting almost two hundred biographies under one cover. In addition, Viktor Khokhlyuk managed to collect statistics and even the game characteristics of his heroes.
