Watch out for Alexy and Pavel in Copenhagen
Posted by Russia - 04/07/2007
Alexey Grekov is in the “classic” situation of homelessness in Russia. Being very good engineer, he doesn’t have any job prospects in his native small town not far from the Ural mountains. Being an “illegal” inhabitant of Saint-Petersburg, he has all problems connected with this strange status. But he has trained with Russian homeless team since 2004. And he hopes that his debut as a national team player in Copenhagen will be successful and spur him on to new chances as with his fellow team mates before him.
Pavel Lukyanov had serious problems with the law and with drugs. He joined the homeless football movement last year during the Homeless Russia Open in Saint-Petersburg. Two months ago he found a job. This is because through his training he is now free of drugs and full of hope!
They will want to be World Champions again in 2007.
