The summer of 2018 will be remembered by Russians for a lifetime. On Pavel’s show, the goalkeeper and main star of the Russian national team, Igor Akinfeev, told how his life changed after the Mundial.

“According to feelings, I did not have such a holiday, probably more than an intimate, emotional uplift [во время] “The World Championship is in Russia,” he said.
Akinfeev admitted that after the match against Spain and the same broken penalty in the Post-Match Series, he began to recognize him on the street more often. “I don’t like it, I even hate my popularity, because you can’t live the ordinary life of a man. Until 2018, plus or minus, I felt good enough that I could somehow slip by unnoticed in stores, gas stations. “After 2018 it just became hell,” he said.

The football player came to the shooting alone, but with his wife Catherine, with whom he has been together for more than ten years. The football player recalled how he made a marriage proposal to his wife in the kitchen. “Suddenly, for some reason, he was still afraid that I would reject him. “He said I wore a ring for a few days,” Catherine said of her reaction. The spouses are raising three children: 10-year-old Daniel, nine-year-old Eve and three-year-old Agata.
