This summer Dynamo Moscow literally tore apart the media space. The first match of the season against the team of bloggers “Amkal” turned out to be extremely memorable and received wide publicity in the press. What were only the football debut of Alexander Ovechkin and the performance of Yegor Creed!

However, the appearance of a famous singer almost caused a big scandal. The festivities arranged by the players after a confident victory ended in a skirmish between the goalkeeper of the “blue and white” and the artist’s bodyguard.

A football player could pay dearly for an unsuccessful joke!

strange tradition

Dynamo Moscow has a fun tradition of smearing a cake over the birthday boy’s face. On June 25, when the capital’s squad met in a friendly match with the Amkal team, Russian performer Yegor Creed celebrated his 28th birthday. The artist was invited to sing as an opening act before the Dynamo football match with bloggers.

After the end of his performance, the singer went to the stands to watch the teams play with his own eyes. At the end of the meeting, Dynamo decided to give Creed a birthday cake decorated with 28 candles as a gift.

It was then that Dynamo goalkeeper Igor Leshchuk decided to dedicate the birthday boy to club traditions. He took a piece of cake and with great enthusiasm began to smear it on the artist’s face. He was in shock – he clearly did not expect such a turn. Did not know about the impending action and his personal bodyguard.

Congratulations didn’t go according to plan.

The goalkeeper’s act would have been normally perceived in any friendly company, considering it a harmless joke, but in this case it looked extremely inappropriate. Leshchuk simply disgraced the singer with a huge crowd of people, having crossed all the boundaries of decency! It is not surprising that the singer’s security guard immediately attacked the football player.

The wave case could reach the point of assault, but the artist himself intervened in time. He stopped the big bodyguard. After that, Creed spoke with Leshchuk, and the parties parted in peace.

Later, in an interview with reporters, the goalkeeper of the capital’s Dynamo spoke about his impressions after what happened at the VTB Arena.

– We have a tradition: whoever has a birthday should catch up with the cake. Since he came to visit our stadium, the traditions cannot be canceled. What did you say? Nothing. He appreciated the joke. Security guard? Its’ his job. He didn’t know what would happen. And I didn’t warn anyone – he quotes the goalkeeper RT.

Leshchuk also explained that he decided to draw because he was personally acquainted with the singer: they had previously crossed paths on the set. So the singer did not take offense at his friend: at night the company continued to celebrate the artist’s birthday as if nothing had happened.
