No one can give an interview or connect with fans like Andrei Arshavin. Periodically, Arshavin plays Bill Simmons and reaches into his mailbag to see what his fans have to say. In the latest installment, the diminutive Russian (that’s apparently what every writer must call Arshavin) answers fan questions, and as usual, you’ll find some gems. Here are a few of my favorites. Click on the link at the bottom to read the entire selection. Enjoy.
From Vladdub: Andrey, do you play in pairs with Pavlyuchenko?
A.A.: What game do you mean?
From shmelkat: What are going to do after your football career? It’s Katya writing, 12 years old.
A.A: Katya, it’s Andrey answering, 29 years old: I do not know …
From antoha94: Hello Andrey! I play football and I want to become a professional Russian player just like you, but I do not live in Russia. Do you think it’s possible? What club can accept an 18 year old guy?
A.A.: The one that will get interested in him.
It’s genius, really. If you want to absorb more nuggets of greatness from the diminutive Russian, it’s all here.
