UPD
Footballer of Zenit and the Russian national team Alexander Kokorin commented for the first time on the scandalous party. According to him, everything happened 4-5 days ago. In an interview with TASS, he categorically denied the information that the party cost them 250 thousand euros. There are always a lot of Russian visitors there.

Football players of the Russian national team spent 250 thousand euros on the party. Players of the national team - Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev - were photographed while vacationing in Monte Carlo.

Striker Alexander Kokorin and midfielder Pavel Mamaev decided to celebrate the departure of the Russian football team from the European Championship “without going far” from the host country of the tournament. As soon as they left France, the athletes headed to Monaco. The players, who had not scored a single goal, decided to celebrate the early start of their vacation in one of the most prestigious and expensive nightclubs in Monte Carlo. To warm up, they organized an alcoholic adventure: the football players demonstrated the breadth of the Russian soul and treated everyone present to elite Armand de Brignac champagne. This move cannot be called anti-crisis: the cost of one bottle is close to the sum of two average salaries in Russian regions - about five hundred euros. According to the waiters, during the evening the guests emptied about 25 boxes of sparkling wine. Alcohol was brought into the hall to the accompaniment of the national anthem, sparklers flashing and enthusiastic screams from those present.

Video footage from this celebration of life was published on Instagram by guests of the club. The heroines of one of the videos were the football players' girlfriends - they showed good spirits and danced right on the sofas. The holiday that happened on the Cote d'Azur has already been commented on by Vitaly Mutko. According to him, the Ministry of Sports does not currently intend to respond to the defiant behavior of the Russian National Team players.

It is already known that as punishment for participating in the party, Pavel Mamaev will train with the youth team of the Krasnodar club. His director called the player's behavior outrageous and promised that the midfielder would be fined in accordance with the current contract. Duma communist Vadim Solovyov said that he would send a request to the Ministry of Sports with a demand to evaluate the behavior of Mamaev and Kokorin. And one of the LDPR representatives, in an interview with the LifeNEWS portal, suggested that the players drank champagne for 250 thousand euros because they were sad about losing at Euro 2016.

At the European Championships in France, the Russian football team failed to advance from the group, having drawn with England and also lost to Slovakia and Wales.

He was transferred to the youth team of his club after a video appeared on the Life portal from a party in Monte Carlo, where champagne costing 500 euros per bottle was served to guests of the famous nightclub to the sounds of the Russian anthem. Presumably, the order was made by the striker together with Mamaev.

In the video, the football players are sitting at a table, where waiters with full baskets of champagne approach in an endless line. Kokorin smokes a hookah and smiles, Mamaev captured from the back, but is easily recognizable by his tattoos. The removal of champagne (connoisseurs recognize the elite brand Armand de Brignac by its labels) is accompanied by the Russian anthem and a pyrotechnic show.

In the afternoon they will write that they paid for the banquet Kokorin With Mamaev, they will name the amount of 250 thousand euros. Friends of the players will claim that everyone was treated to other people. In the evening, Kokorin himself will make a statement to the TASS agency: “Someone was celebrating a birthday, and we were just there.”

However, few people care about the details - football players Russian national team disgraced the whole country, even a representative of the Investigative Committee puts in his 2 cents, joking about the fact that our players are not able to hit their own glasses. The Minister of Sports speaks out reluctantly Vitaly Mutko, promises that the players’ vacation will not go unnoticed.

Reacts more quickly and specifically than anyone else "Krasnodar": through the mouth of the general director Vladimir Hashiga informs about the link through the official website of the club Mamaeva to the youth team. “Outrageous behavior” (quoted by Khashig) will also result in a monetary fine.

"Zenith" is in no hurry to make a statement, but eventually repeats the step "Krasnodar"- link in "Zenit-2" and a fine. Adding piquancy is the fact that on the day the video appeared Kokorin I just joined the team at a training camp in Austria. Actually, this is where the football player’s attempts to justify himself are heard, drowned in the general indignant chorus.

The sanctions were met with approval, especially the statement "Krasnodar". Fans on the Internet express themselves in the spirit that at least someone had the courage to call a spade a spade. The image of the club, already one of the best in Russia, is growing even higher.

There are also those who come to the defense of football players. Unexpectedly, a deputy from the LDPR stands up for them Igor Lebedev, the theses are simple: this is their honest earnings and official money, no one broke the law, and from the point of view of behavior there is nothing reprehensible.

The country is trying to understand what normal upbringing and defiant behavior are, where the right to privacy ends and the ethics of a public person begin, how the sports results of Russian football correlate with the level of salaries in this very football.

And the main question: what if the results were different? Could hypothetical successes somehow make this kind of party normal in the eyes of a society many of whose members don't earn even half a bottle of Monte Carlo champagne in a whole month?

Two bosom friends, Russian national team players Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev once again noted their mind-blowing expenses for a beautiful life, reports life.ru.

In one night, football players having fun on vacation spent 250 thousand euros on champagne at the popular Twiga nightclub in Monte Carlo. The players purchased about 500 bottles of champagne, the cost of each of them is estimated at approximately 500 euros.

“Why, guys like to live in grand style. But they don’t shine on the field in matches for the national team, although Kokorin’s annual salary at the capital’s Dynamo is 5 million euros, and Krasnodar midfielder Mamaev earns 1.6 million euros.”, — notes edition.

“We were sitting with friends, and opposite us were Mamaev and Kokorin, surrounded by girls. At first they behaved very calmly and modestly. Then they started bringing out champagne during the Russian anthem, started throwing out confetti, and lit sparklers. The football players treated everyone. Some simply took the bottles from their table, since there were countless of them, noted an eyewitness.

In another video, Mamaev’s wife Alana and Kokorin’s friend Daria Valitova are dancing right on the sofas.

The Twiga club is the most popular in Monte Carlo. It differs from others in that it is located right on the Cote d'Azur. The pleasure of visiting the club is not cheap - from 1000 euros per table. Nevertheless, the establishment does not lack pretentious visitors, the majority of whom are golden youth from Russia and Italy.

Both Kokorin and Mamaev played for the Russian national team at the 2016 European Championships in France. However, the Russians did not stay there for long, drawing with the England team (1:1), losing to the teams of Slovakia (1:2) and Wales (0:3), finishing last in their group and being eliminated from the tournament. Vasily Berezutsky and Denis Glushakov scored goals for the Russians.

Immediately upon returning to Russia from Euro 2016, Mamaev and Kokorin went on vacation to Monte Carlo.

RFU President Vitaly Mutko, commenting on the party in Monte Carlo organized by Russian national team players Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev, noted that the behavior of the players will be taken into account when choosing the composition of the updated national team.

— There is no head coach now. We will decide on a mentor, and then see who he invites. Believe me, today the behavior of many people, including candidates and players of the previous team, will definitely be taken into account when forming the composition of the new team. And now there is no need to react to who photographed whom, where they danced what dance. We won't do all this. Everyone acts according to their upbringing, intelligence, and education. And I didn't see it myself, “Championship correspondent Nikita Kuzin reports Mutko’s words.

Kokorin denied that he spent 250 thousand euros on champagne with Mamaev for the evening

Zenit and Russian national team footballer Alexander Kokorin denied the information that he and Pavel Mamaev spent 250 thousand euros on champagne in one evening. Kokorin reported this to TASS.

"It would be stupid to deny that we were present in this establishment, - said Kokorin. - This happened 4-5 days ago. Anyone who knows this place can confirm that there are always many Russian visitors there. That's what happened this time too".

"Someone was celebrating a birthday and we were just there, continued the footballer. - Naturally, everyone saw these ordered bottles, heard the Russian anthem, but why attribute the organization of all this to us? We have nothing to do with the bills for this party or its surroundings, and with the money that is being discussed in the media, one could buy not only champagne, but this entire establishment.".

Meanwhile, Zenit and Krasnodar transferred their players - Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev - to youth teams for their behavior during a party in Monte Carlo. In addition, as R-Sport reports, the players will be fined a large amount.

It seems that some representatives of domestic football are not able to live without curses from their compatriots. This is the only way to explain another incident involving Russian national team players.

While Icelandic fans greeted their players who had reached the quarterfinals as heroes, the players of the Russian team, who did not even consider it necessary to explain themselves to their compatriots, went to spend their holidays in the hot spots of the world.

The Life.ru portal published a video showing a party thrown in Monte Carlo by two Russian national team players - Pavel Mamaev And Alexander Kokorin.

The video shows how dozens of bottles of elite champagne are carried out on huge trays decorated with lights. The action takes place to the sounds of the Russian anthem.

Witnesses claim that Kokorin and Mamaev were relaxing at the local Twiga nightclub. During the party, they allegedly purchased about 500 bottles of elite Armand de Brignac champagne at a price of 500 euros each. Thus, the players spent about 250 thousand euros on champagne alone.

Kokorin and Mamaev smoked hookah, treated everyone, and their life partners danced on the sofas. Apparently, the players who failed to impress the fans at Euro 2016 managed to surprise the regulars of the Monte Carlo clubs.

Million Euro Boys

Immediately after leaving the European Championship, in the group stage of which the Russian team lost two matches and tied one, Pavel Mamaev has already become the protagonist of a scandal.

Internet users quickly found out that a flight of such an aircraft could cost about 70 thousand dollars, and it must be booked in advance. Judging by how quickly Mamaev left France, he ordered the plane before the start of Euro 2016 in order to fly away immediately after the group stage. That is, the player did not even count on the participation of the Russian team in the playoffs.

Mamaev's outburst caused a storm of indignation. But, as is now clear, the football player himself does not see anything wrong in his actions and continues in the same spirit.

27-year-old Pavel Mamaev has been playing for FC Krasnodar since 2013. The estimated value of his contract until 2016 was about 1.4 million euros. In 2016, Mamaev signed a new three-year agreement. According to some reports, his salary has increased significantly.

25-year-old Alexander Kokorin moved to Zenit St. Petersburg in 2016, refusing an invitation from English Arsenal. The striker's estimated salary at the St. Petersburg club is 3.5 million euros per year.

“It wasn’t champagne. These are their tears that they cried because the national team did not participate."

The news about the party in Monte Carlo could not help but cause a new explosion of emotions among Russian fans.

“Remember the hussars during the war with Napoleon. They did exactly the same. But the hussars then won the war and entered Paris, and these two were celebrating, for some unknown reason.))"

“The guys are worried about the results of the euro... They decided to restore the reputation and authority of Russia... Two bastards.”

“Life-buyers. Merchants of the XXI century. From dirt to Kings. This is not good."

“Poor souls, how can you not drink it? Although champagne is drunk until the morning either by aristocrats or...”

“Now at least it’s clear what they think about when they stand on the field before the game and listen to the anthem...”

“Even considering their income, this is an idiotic act. Frankly speaking, the guys had a blast beyond their means.”

“It wasn’t champagne. These are their tears that they cried because the national team did not participate. This is their sweat that they shed while playing in the national team. This is their blood from broken, wounded, cut up bodies.”

Mutko promised to take into account the behavior

Of course, only the most correct statements are given here. Most remarks cannot be quoted due to profanity.

Some people remembered a strange incident during the Euro - Pavel Mamaev appeared before reporters with a broken eyebrow.

According to the official version, he hit a machine in the gym. According to the unofficial story, his senior teammates punished him for inappropriate behavior and incorrect remarks addressed to the head coach Leonid Slutsky.

President of the RFU and Minister of Sports Vitaly Mutko reacted to the news from Monte Carlo. “Believe me, today the behavior of many people, including candidates and players of the previous team, will definitely be taken into account when forming the composition of the new team. And now there is no need to react to who photographed whom, where they danced what dance. We won't do all this. Everyone acts according to their upbringing, intelligence, and education. And I didn’t see this myself,” the portal “Championat.ru” quotes Mutko as saying.

A video of a party that was hosted on a grand scale in one of the elite clubs in Monte Carlo by national team players Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev has appeared on the Internet. During the whole night, while listening to the Russian anthem, the football players drank and treated visitors to the establishment with expensive champagne, and also smoked hookah - apparently, thus celebrating our team’s high-profile exit from the European Football Championship.

The waiters don't have enough hands - on their shoulders, in buckets, on special stretchers - to carry out all the champagne ordered. Almost the entire staff was brought in to join the Russian football players at the elite Monte Carlo club. Our athletes - Pavel Mamaev and Alexander Kokorin - are watching, lounging on the sofa. With hookah. To the Russian anthem.

The line of people with bottles seemed never to end. What's on the stretcher are bottles of Armand de Brignac - golden brut, an elite sparkling wine. To find out how much the party cost the players, we contacted the administration of that same club.

How much does one bottle of Armand de Brignac cost?

Champagne costs 550 euros.

How about ordering a table?

Ordering a regular table costs from 500 euros. And a VIP table starts from 1,500 euros.

Ten bottles, thirty, now a hundred. Shocked users on the Internet counted even more.

If the information that 500 bottles were purchased overnight is correct, then it turns out that 275 thousand Euros were spent on champagne alone. The data, of course, still needs to be checked, but the figure is cosmic. In rubles this is almost 20 million.

“After such a disastrous performance by our national team, we need to hide and not show ourselves to anyone. Instead of expressing and showing our attitude like that,” says former coach of the Russian national team Valery Gazzaev. “This is unacceptable, you need to be more modest. You need to understand where, when and how to behave.” needs to be led."

The players, of course, could afford this financially. National team striker Alexander Kokorin: during the entire European Championship, however, there were no goals scored, or even assists. Salary, according to media reports, 5 million euros per year. Midfielder of the Russian national team and the Krasnodar club Pavel Mamaev, the same one who, after the European Championship, posted a photo from a private plane on social networks, saying that the team’s result at the Euro is their maximum.

To Mamaev’s new trick in his club “Krasnodar”: the player has been transferred to the youth team, financial penalties are being prepared.

“The behavior of candidates or players of the former national team will be taken into account when preparing the national team,” said Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko.

Despite this, the fans were unstoppable on social media today. The comments on the Internet are such that it is difficult to quote even a word of them in the media. It was especially offensive, users write, to look at our athletes against the backdrop of the Icelandic team. The team, which consisted of simple postmen, and the footballers' salary was 30 thousand euros per year, 166 times less than Kokorin's, made it to the quarterfinals. In their native Iceland. The cry, which the world recognized after the first goal against Portugal, for which Cristiano Ronaldo himself plays, was chanted by tens of thousands of fans in the central square of Reykjavik today.

How our players will be greeted after the celebrations in Monte Carlo is another question. Despite the fact that messages are already appearing on the Internet saying that they haven’t drunk it yet, fans are already demanding full explanations from athletes.
