Former CSKA striker, Brazilian Ricardo Jesus told Sport24 that he admired the army coach Valery Gazzaev.
Gazzaev coached CSKA from 2002 to 2008. Gazzaev with CSKA won the Russian championship three times, the Russian Cup 4 times, and also won the UEFA Cup.
– How would you describe Gazzaev in three words?
Serious, honest. He talked to me, explained why I play or don’t play. And command: always helped, but also demanded return. He was like a father to everyone. I admired Gazzaev. And he always communicated with him without an interpreter: he already understood Russian well.
– Carvalho came to Moscow and called him only a mustache. You are not?
— Ha-ha! No, I never called the coach that. Mustache is a better word,” Jesus said.
Jesus played for CSKA and Spartak Nalchik in 2008-2013.
