Gentlemen — about the «Gentleman»
The most titled football coach of Russia, State Duma deputy Valery Gazzaev, 2016 year.
"I completely agree with the fact that Igor Akinfeev is a gentleman of football. Otherwise, he would not serve his club and the national team for 15 years. I’m happy for Igor. And I think that he will find a worthy place after the end of his career. He is very disciplined, responsible and devoted person. I remember how he, 16-year-old, appeared at me in the basis of CSKA. It was 2002 … Talents are born here, we need only to help them. Unfortunately, today we do not see such a seedling. Hence the problem in our football".
Mikhail Boyarsky, People's Artist of Russia, 2014 year.
"This is a unique opportunity for fans to vote for someone who, in their opinion, is the most honest, behaves in a manlike manner both on the football field and outside it, for someone who is worthy to wear a tuxedo of the football "Gentleman of the Year".
Hulk, forward FC «Zenith» 2012 - 2016 years. («The Gentleman of the Year» - 2014»)
"I admit, I am pleased to win such non-standard awards. Usually evaluate purely football aspects — hand awards to the best player, the best scorer. Here it is a little bit of another — about the behavior, about how correct I am. It’s doubly nice. It’s great if people see this in me".
Otar Kushanashvili, TV presenter, 2013
"For me, the further, the more it becomes clearer that the "Gentleman" is the one who has saved himself in this crazy world of Russian football, fooled by money, his own quasi-grandeur and ponts".
Midfielder of the Russian team Igor Semshov, winner of the prize in 2008 - about the «Gentleman of the Year» - 2015»
"Football is a kind of sport where there are no individual prizes and victories. Footballers always play in a team. And therefore, for the clubs that represent the candidates, the "Gentleman of the Year" award is important. And if the fans chose representatives of these teams, it means that the teams also behave in a gentlemanly manner".
