In the central match of the second round of the Russian Premier League, “Rostov” and the current champion “Zenith” joined forces. The game came out really forceful, and its outcome was decided in the last minutes. The Yellow-Blues converted the penalty 90+2, and the score was 1:1. After the match, Rostovites goalkeeper Sergei Pesyakov gave an exclusive interview to Soviet Sport, in which he talked about the team’s tasks for the season, about his gangster habits in the 90s, and named his main football dream.
– Today the score is tied. The match was quite exciting, are you satisfied with the result or did you deserve three points more than one?
“I think at least we didn’t deserve to lose. Zenit had 1.5 chances. We notice when we play that Zenit is good because it can punish any mistake. We made one, maximum two errors, for which we were penalized. All things considered, I think we deserved a little more than the loss. And in the course of the party could count on more.
FC Zenit
– Can you say that this is the most difficult game of the season so far?
– For me, the most difficult thing with Rubin was. There were many dangerous moments, I had to work hard to win. Glad he came out to save the gate and add a cracker to the stats.
– What are the tasks facing Rostov this season?
– As far as I know, no one announced anything to us. The main thing is to survive, and then we’ll see. We’ll score 35-36 points, and then we’ll see. To make sure he stays in the RPL next season. God forbid they get more (laughs). Until then, time will pass, everything will change.
– Do you think Rostov can fight for the championship?
“I think we are racehorses. Let’s at least play a circle, and then we’ll ask those questions. Maybe after 15 games you are wondering why we are ranked 14th then, you have to look again, the transfer window is not over yet. Let’s see what the situation will be in the end.
FC “Rostov”
– This match was announced with a video in the style of the series “Gangster Petersburg”. Can you remember a story from the 90s from your life that is similar in style to the TV series?
– There were many things, starting with how we tried to imitate those characters in the style of clothing: leather jackets in the style of jackets. I was directly involved at that time, let’s say, the younger generation. There were different cases, everything is connected with the time when I played in Ivanovo. But the benefit was saved from the various consequences of such a life. I saw this show and I really liked it. I don’t remember the name of the actor who played there, it seems Serebryakov, he deserves an Oscar.
– If we already started talking about this topic, what is your favorite series or movie?
– From the last, probably, “Game of Thrones”. In fact, I have not seen anything for 2-3 years. Twitch got me hooked. I constantly watch all kinds of streams there, passing games, etc. An interesting place overall.
Do you want to become a streamer yourself?
I don’t know, everything is possible. But right now there is no time for that. Family and football: this is my schedule so far.
Have you seen the new season of The Witcher?
– I watched 4 or 5 seasons of Vikings. I looked closely at The Witcher, but now there is no time. In principle it is very interesting, however, I am not a fan of the universe. However, a very curious trailer was seen, a good selection of actors.
– Now you are 34 years old, to put it mildly, the best times are behind you. What is your football dream right now? Maybe you want to win the title of the best goalkeeper of the season in the RPL? Or are there plans to score the first goal of his career?
– Well, what can you dream now? A rather difficult question. I probably want to get to 100. The first thing that came to mind.

– In the top 100 of the best goalkeepers in the world?
– I went there a long time ago (laughs). I want to play 100 clean sheets in the Russian championships. But this is a kind of fantasy. Now there are about 70 of them, but I can barely name the exact number. I do not follow
