Ex-goalkeeper of the USSR national football team Uvarov called Abramovich a man “without showing off at all”
MOSCOW, 30 Mar — Former goalkeeper of the Moscow “Dynamo”, “Maccabi” from Tel Aviv and the USSR national football team Alexander Uvarov spoke about his acquaintance with businessman Roman Abramovich.
The former football player said that he met Abramovich in Israel.
According to the ex-goalkeeper, Abramovich gave the impression of a modest person.
The deal to buy the Israeli club did not take place, but since the summer of 2003 Abramovich became the owner of the English Chelsea. In early March 2022, a Russian businessman announced that he had put the club up for sale due to sanctions due to the events in Ukraine. The deal to transfer Chelsea from Abramovich’s ownership to a consortium of American Todd Boely officially closed at the end of May.
Under Abramovich, the London club became the champion of England five times, won the FA Cup five times and won the English League Cup three times, also won the Champions League and the Europa League twice each.
