Эдуард Стрельцов. Воля к жизни

Eduard Streltsov is a legend of Soviet sports. It is with his name that the main political injustice in the history of domestic football is associated, and many still ask the question: “What if ..?” He was a brilliant player, a real phenomenon, who at the age of 18 became the top scorer of the USSR championship and the main striker of the national team. The 1958 World Cup of the year could have been Streltsov's benefit performance in the international arena, if not for further tragic events. “I was once asked why I love football. I myself have never asked myself such a question, and therefore I did not immediately find what to answer. And in general, probably, it is unreasonable to put the question like that. That's what you value most in football - you can ask. I appreciate thought in football, I see in it, first of all, a game, very, very interesting, mainly because you have to think in it. (E.
