Fredriksonin haastattelu perjantailta Google traslaten kääntämänä
In 2010, the Premier League was acquainted not only with new teams, but also new players. On the day of launch the championship of Russia Sports.ru interviews one of the most unusual of its newcomers - 28-year-old Finnish goalie "Spartacus" from Nalchik. Otto Fredrikson tells the true speed of the Finns, performances in the Bundesliga and the amazing Russian tradition - often greet.
– How do you react when they learned that your name in Russia?
– I was in Norway, where he spoke for "Lillestrøm SK", the agent told me about the interest of Nalchik. I am a person open to new. Russia Premier League - is a very big European league, where they play in the big football. Of course, I was interested. Because it is waiting for the moment in the career can be a big step forward.
– Not all Europeans are released in Russia with a quiet mind. You - too?
– Of course, in the air skepticism when I announced that I was going to Russia. Especially when he said about the Caucasus. You understand that we really do not know about this place - it is far enough away from where I live, from Scandinavia. Nalchik - a small town, which is located next to Chechnya and Georgia. Reading newspapers and watching TV, people have heard of some problems in these areas. But the most important people - my father, my friends, my goalkeeping coach - have been set positively.They understand that this is a big step in my career. Moreover, Russia's football - high standards. And Nalchik - present professional club.
"When I obvil that I was going to Russia, in the air skepticism"
–You do not afraid?
– Again, I'm an open person. И я не боялся. And I'm not afraid. Especially after taxes. For me it was important to come to Turkey and to communicate with people who work in "Spartacus". People here were very good, true professionals. They really wanted to see me at home. Also to go far from home - this is an exciting occupation. Before you agree, I went to the internet, I saw some pictures of Nalchik and realized that this is a very cozy place.
– It seems that Otto - German name?
– All right, German. But in Finland it is also very common. While all surprised. Many people, when a friend, first ask: "Are you German?" My grandfather's name is Otto. In his honor and called me.
– Wikipedia says that you two plays for Borussia Mönchengladbach of.
– And this was a great experience! I was the youngest player, played in the first division championship in Finland, not the Premiership, and there was in Germany. Unfortunately, I have not had a single match for Borussia, but six months sitting on the bench during the matches of the Bundesliga. This is also an experience! I had an injury. After that our paths with Borussia gone, I preferred to play in Finland.
"Just sit on a bench in the stadium Schalke - have a great experience"
– Your most vivid impression of bunsdeligi?
– When I was there (2001 - 2003 gg. - Sports.ru), «Schalke Arena has just opened. For a young goalkeeper just sit on the bench of the stadium was a great experience. 66 thousand people, the roof, which allows you to play in the winter - oh, unforgettable experience! In Mönchengladbach at the time was the old stadium, but some fans! Some of them once every two weeks traveling on 600 miles to attend home matches "Borussia". In the sporting sense Borussia acted not very nice, but the fans ... They lived all over Germany. Even when we were at the training camp somewhere in Eastern Germany, found there fan club Borussia, who came to support us and invite to his gocti.
– Someone sees Russia as a springboard to go to another championship, someone - as a means to earn money. How do you see Russia?
– For me it was mostly - go to the league are bigger than soccer in Norway. So Russia - is an opportunity to play in one of the strongest European championships.
– You know how the name of your competitor?
– Of course, I know. Benjamin, Man ... Mandre ... Mandrykin - I correctly said? I train with him every day and know that before he played CSKA Moscow, then was leased to other teams. Now - with us.
– I look to Russia Legionnaires to ask others about the willingness to play in the cold. In your case it is, presumably, irrelevant?
– Of course, this is not a problem. I remember practicing in the "minus 17". It was in Norway. At that time, an indoor arena at the "Lilestrema" was not there, and the whole week we were supposed to train on the street. That "minus 15", then "minus 17" - not the most pleasant experience. I had to put on all my clothes, which was home. In such weather no problem if you run. But the goalkeeper having trouble - need insulated.
– If you believe the jokes, the Finns - extremely slow people. Not the best recommendation for a goalkeeper.
– Ha, ha, ha. It's all stereotypes. This is not true. Not all Finnish people are. Only some. About Russia since Soviet times, too many stereotypes. But that does not mean that they are all true.
"It is not true that all Finns are slow. Only a few "
– You met with all partners in "Spartacus"? They have been surprised?
– In general, this adventure - to be in Russia, not knowing the Russian language. Sometimes I try to say something in Russian, I think that sounds funny. Another tell me such a thing. This made the whole of Russia, or only in the southern part of it: when a person comes, shake hands with all present.
– It seems to be everywhere.
– Then a new tradition for me. For example, in Finland we all morning to each other's hand did not shake. May say: "Good morning" or "Hello." So for me it is something new.
– What you need to reach with Nalchik, to remain satisfied with yourself?
– Take the place of not less than that which was last year. Nalchik four years playing in the Premier League and should continue to do so. As to my personal goals, I want to take a seat at the gate. To play so many matches as possible. And become the first goalkeeper in Finland. That is in my plans for next year.
