Original subtitles

Katia, don't run!

I got it !

Volodya!

How is the game going?

You took your time comrade Beskov.

Did I miss something ?

There is a little young who puts on a show.

- He trots everywhere. - A real character.

Chernyshov found it

in the military regimental team.

He's a veteran, then.

- He's an acrobat! - Looks like the circus.

Come on, Lyova, do your best. Khomich looks at you.

In the center, Kostia.

Go ahead !

May I have an autograph ?

I got it !

Thank you.

Looks like the wind is picking up.

See, I told you.

I bet that remains in the locker room.

What are you betting?

- A bottle of cognac. - And me, a crate.

Box that finishes the match.

- So ? - Go for a crate.

Where is your guardian?

I'll take his place, if he doesn't come back.

The girl in the 1st row, wouldn't she be an actress?

Look, here it is again.

I prefer American cognac.

Who are you, to train you so early?

Yachine, the goalkeeper. And you, who are you?

A bit of respect !

Leave it, Ivan. Yakushin, the trainer!

I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you.

Excuse me.

He trains like crazy. He comes at dawn every morning.

Pass him 1st guard. We'll see what's in his stomach.

OK.

Kostia, the center! Cover the center.

Yachin, why are you coming out of your cage?

You are the guardian stay in your place. OKAY ?

OKAY.

That's the job of defenders.

I see better if I get closer.

It's not true...

Mikhail!

Make him understand, you.

Sanaia, show him.

Why do you always contradict them? Listen to what you are told.

And if they are wrong?

Sir.

Why do you think he's looking at you? Want to be part of the team?

You have to put some of yours into it.

Volodya, I want to play.

And I want to play well.

Have you seen Saydunin today? A real cannonball.

He sent the ball 30m away! And Beskov? And Trofimov?

These guys are experts!

A goalie, it's not a flowerpot.

- It covers the penalty area. - Excuse me.

- And have you seen Khomich? - You only have his name in your mouth!

There are still 1 or 2 seasons left, that's all.

So, frankly, Lyova...

"Stay in your cage", yes...

Young man, please your ticket.

- Thank you miss. - You are welcome.

But a guardian cannot than playing locked in his cage.

He has to play with others. If not, what's the point?

Next stop, Sokolniki!

Good morning !

Katia, another chain problem?

- You could help me ? - Sure.

I can always help a pretty girl.

- I'll hold your bag. - Take.

And There you go !

Thank you Lyova.

Good walk !

- Pal Palych, hello! - Hi, sportsman!

It is true that there is a secret order to Dynamo?

An order ?

It is true that Trofimov not shoot with his right foot?

Anything !

It's true ! He has a death kick.

You promised us an autograph from Khomich!

I'll get it for you.

So, soon a champion?

Soon, yes.

Hi Dad.

Your mother made vatrushka. Hurry up or Boris will end it all.

He looks fine, your son.

Everything is fine for him.

I take the bet. And here is the job.

Khoma, watch out, you have a shadow following you!

Come on, swing!

Mark it!

In the top eleven!

That's all for today.

Take a shower and come home your house. See you tomorrow.

Your shot almost tore the net!

Khoma, are you coming? Stop dragging!

Go ahead, I'm coming.

Shabrov, leave the balloons.

You come ?

Here, hard work.

Yachine!

Approach.

Give me that ball.

Get on the line.

Bend down.

A little more.

A bit more. Come on, get down.

Your arms are too far forward.

- I learned that way. - Do you want to hug a woman?

Come on, catch right.

To the left. To the right !

Good. And now, roll forward.

That's it. Caught !

Spear !

Forward roll. Caught !

- Holy Khoma! - He's going to make him drool.

Roll!

Come on, they will score 10 points while you get up.

Never !

Never ?

Go to your cage.

Never !

Khoma!

You should get a little closer!

Alexei Petrovich,

I wanted to ask you Something.

Why the English nicknamed you "Tiger" in 1945?

I don't know.

You will ask them!

I would like to play like you.

Yes, but we can't have two identical goalkeepers.

How tall are you ?

1.86m.

I am 15 cm shorter.

You reach heights unattainable for me.

Use this advantage. The technique will come later.

A lion and a tiger, it doesn't hunt the same.

A great game awaits us.

We are live Dynamo Stadium.

You hear it: the stands are full.

The match sees opposing two rivals: Dynamo and Spartak.

Dynamo leads 1-0. The goalkeeper is in high demand.

Salnikov heads for the center.

Spartak intercepts the ball. Igor Netto passes on the left.

Anatoly Ilyin takes the ball.

Go to Isaev.

Spartak is heading to Nikita Simonyan.

Pass to Dynamo defender who goes up the field

along the sideline.

Head !

Khomich, nicknamed "Tiger",

is in great shape, as per usual.

Khomich revives it.

Dynamo goalkeeper

blocks the ball. Goes to Trofimov.

Watch out, he shoots!

In this game,

the goalkeeper is the main defender of Spartak.

What a pity not being able to score.

The score is still 1-0 for Dynamos.

Spartak continues to attack. They are tireless.

Netto regains the ball. It's now or never !

Khomich just pinned him down.

I call the doctor?

Khomich does not get up.

Yachine, on the ground!

Are you deaf or what? Coach calls you.

Yachine!

Come on, Lyova, don't be afraid.

Last minute replacement for the Dynamo team.

Aleksei Khomich is replaced by the novice goalkeeper...

Lev Yashin.

Yachine clears the ball.

Comrade General.

- It's okay ? - Hello, General.

- Who scored ? - Beskov. A wonderful goal!

He's a very good player.

Where is Khomich?

He hurt himself. A big shock to the leg.

- Who replaces him? - Yachine, the 3rd guard.

Would you like to sit down, general?

All players attack.

We have to gain ground.

Spartak attacks again and cross the field!

Yachine pounces on Blinkov.

Nikolay Parshin takes advantage to score against Dynamo.

Where did they get this bum from?

We had no choice. Sanaya is sick.

Such a waste ! Who found this guard?

It's Yakushin.

I don't want to see him again!

What a disaster !

Chances of victory are gone for Dynamos.

It was therefore the debut of the young

Lev Yachine, of the Dynamo team.

do not forget it was his first time

and he has his life ahead of him

to prove himself.

Final score: 1 everywhere.

It was Vadim Sinyavskiy.

Well, I hope your...

debut at the microphone will be more promising

than those of this young goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper dumbest in history!

Stop or I'll give you one!

- Can you say hello anymore? - Lev, lift your hearts.

Don't worry, it happens.

I take the double. And There you go !

- Enjoy your meal. - Lyova, come and sit down.

Give him some soup.

You could have washed your hands.

- Thanks, but I'm not hungry. - Lyova.

- That's enough ! - What did I do ?

Come.

Don't answer your father.

It's not worth it, dad.

Mishka Tumakin is getting married.

The factory will concede a place.

You are the same age as him.

You have to go back to the factory.

You could be a blacksmith within five years.

I don't understand you, Lyova.

You are not a fool. Why always this damn football?

Football, is this for fools?

No, but when I look at you...

I'm not sure you'll succeed.

Struck !

Still !

Still !

Still !

We should stop. We will continue tomorrow.

Struck !

Still !

Pull harder!

I am not Beskov, me!

There are no schedules in football.

Two more and we're back.

- He's going to get in trouble. - This world is not made for him.

Still !

I told him to be careful to his clothes.

But what his mother tells him, He does not care.

Do not get angry. He never insulted you, that I know of.

Hello.

Take a white jacket.

- I'm looking for Khomich. - He's there. You can come in.

Masha, I hope to see you again tonight.

I will wait for you.

- Hello. - Hello.

Masha, you bring us glasses, please?

I do not have the right.

"I do not have the right" !

- Who are these flowers for? - For you.

I neither died nor became a woman.

But I want the apples.

This, yes.

Why are you here?

- I wanted to visit you. - It was useless.

My ligaments are fine. It could have been worse.

I also came to apologize.

Apologize for what?

For the purpose.

Yachine, you really are a joke.

It's just a game. You take it too seriously.

If you're so mad at yourself, is that this game matters to you.

But don't worry you have your whole life ahead of you.

you know the song "Khomich conceded a goal"?

Me, no one will ever sing that to me.

What are you talking about ?

You were surprised, it happens. It's nothing.

There is something else...

Chernyshov made me an offer.

You think I should try hockey ?

Gotta sleep with a girl before marrying her.

It may be the same with hockey and football.

Give me the apples.

And the flowers.

Perfect.

My little Masha, I'm coming!

Lyova, I told you not to use your feet!

Use the club!

Smola, don't forget your body!

You too ! Use your body!

Hello.

- Primas. - Hello.

Thank you.

Lyova, keep your eyes peeled!

Concentrate ! What are you doing ?

Hello Arkady.

So you're thinking of beating the army?

I should hope so. And win the championship too.

What are you doing here ? Want to get into hockey?

I just came to see an old friend.

I know why you are here.

Oleg! Change of offensive method!

We're moving zone!

You offer me a tea?

Let me tell you one thing.

You sent him packing.

When he left your club, he was at the bottom of the hole.

But now, he excels in this sport!

He is a candidate for the national team.

So don't expect to get it back.

- Arkady Ivanovich... - I'm busy.

Don't shout, Arkady. It's true, he has talent.

But admit it, his body is made for football.

And it's me who introduced him to football!

Stop screaming.

You won't get it!

We're going to do things right. I will make him an offer, he will decide.

You are a beautiful motherfucker!

Sorry, it was an accident!

It's nothing, I'm used to it.

Do you play hockey?

More or less.

I didn't offend you, I hope ?

I'm not offended, no...

Vallia.

Lev.

Where are your gloves, Valia? You will catch cold.

Shashkova!

I'm coming !

Goodbye, Lev!

Tsaryov, come and see.

We're going to shoot on goal, warn everyone.

I'll let you organize that.

- I'll take care of it, Ivan. - Thank you.

Guys...

Come on, don't fall asleep penalty shootout!

Ashvaya, shoot!

Good ! Yachin, catch the ball, don't push it away.

That's enough, right?

No.

Pass.

Give, I tell you!

It's enough for today.

A goalkeeper who plays alone don't win a game.

By playing like this, you will score goals.

- That's what we are going to see. - You're stubborn, that's pretty good.

But you'll never win a game playing alone.

Have you ever seen Khomich? Go to the field ?

He is calm, he remains unperturbed.

He's the king of keepers.

And the team trusts him.

Don't scatter on the penalty area.

You have to guess the opponent's passes.

Looked. There is the penalty area.

You are on your goal line.

The blues attack.

They lose the ball at midfield.

Mamedov overtakes Tsaryov.

He passes the ball to Fedosov.

Fedosov moves to the right wing.

There is a defender in front of him.

What are you doing ?

I move forward, I minimize the angles.

Shabrov and Salnikov come from the left.

Come on, pass!

I go to the right.

But Fedosov takes his time. He overtakes the defender.

Goal.

you have to cover penalty area

so as not to fool you.

This is the basis.

Look at Khomich. It is not parallel at the goal line.

It covers the whole surface and it works.

You know, Yachine...

What's the matter ?

Football is alive.

It's never the same.

It is a perpetual evolution.

We don't need another Khomich. Find your style.

Lyova, we're going to dance tonight.

Mironych takes us. You come ?

I can't, Volodya. I'm going to see Valia.

Drop it.

He is lucky, he has someone to take care of.

Exactly, he has Valia.

And we, who do we have?

- Marina... Olia... - Yes, hope gives life!

- Hello, beautiful guardian! - Hello.

Valia can't come today. She told me to replace her.

What do you mean by "replacing her"?

She can not come. She has a lot of things to do.

But why does she send you?

What does it mean, to send a replacement?

I am here to serve.

You do not want ?

I am leaving.

I will take the bus.

It's no joke, that one.

What was that ? What does it mean ?

Sorry, it was just for fun.

What if I had accepted?

If I had taken her to the movies?

If I had given her your favorite ice cream?

Go on, I'm listening.

If I had accompanied her and that she had invited me in?

Nothing would have happened. You would have gone to play football.

And would you be jealous?

No. You would play football...

And I would have married a lieutenant.

He would have climbed the ladder

and would be very quickly became general.

He would go to all your matches to see you save goals.

Like that, would you have married a lieutenant?

- A very attractive lieutenant. - Run away before I catch you.

Buy a TV will save money.

How many times have we seen this movie on the goalkeeper?

We'll buy a tea set like that when we get married, I promise you.

- Lyova, don't do it again... - What do you mean ?

I want to live with you.

I want a family...

children.

Young people...

please don't kiss in front of my store.

The general would buy me a fur coat.

Yes that's it...

Alexei, listen...

Sorry.

It's not me who made this decision?

At the time, everyone loved me!

Fuck them, and you with it!

You're done, yes?

This is football, these are the current results that matter.

We forget the veterans and we welcome young people.

Nothing to do with my return, it's the logical development of the game.

- We got a call... - I do not care.

I'm building a new team.

Only the results count. Do you agree with me?

We don't care about the exploits of the past.

We received the new shipment. The sizes don't fit!

Check it out with Stankevich!

- The pharmacy is full. - OK...

Here, it's for you.

I wish you were the guardian of the team. What do you say ?

OK.

Very well.

And Khomich?

- Looked ! - Finished for Khomich!

Who will replace him?

Father. Let's go ?

- It's sad... - Dad, you promised!

Yes, we're going to the zoo.

"Tiger"...

Who would've believed that ?

I do not know why they chose this nickname.

The English released this and it stayed.

What kind of tiger am I?

Like we've seen tigers before play soccer.

It must come from this famous match.

I followed him on the radio.

That damn fog was so thick that you couldn't see anything at 30 m.

I still don't know how I stopped the ball.

But I know that that day, I have become a hero.

Alright, come on.

Take it, it is for you.

- To do what ? - What do you mean ?

You're not fed up to drag your little bag?

You're number 1 now.

when you play for the national team...

It's never going to happen !

Of course yes.

Never forget

that you are not here just to catch the ball.

Your whole country is behind you.

Your homeland is there, panting.

She's counting on you. Try to honor him.

We continue live with a great game

between Dynamo and Torpedo.

Dynamo's Aleksei Khomich has been replaced

by goalkeeper Lev Yachine.

Streltsov has the ball. He passes to Ivanov.

He shoots ! Well done, Yachine!

He blocks the ball on the ground. What a stop!

What precision! And beautiful kick

of the young Eduard Streltsov,

the youngest player of this championship.

He already has everything of a master.

Yachine raises to Kuznetsov. Attack on the left.

Mamedov switches to Trofimov.

Trofimov accelerates and passes.

Come on, pass!

Ivanov intercepts the ball and throws it to Streltsov.

But goalkeeper Lev Yachine reacts like a born defender!

He thwarts this attack

and kick the ball far ahead in the field.

We are not at the circus, there! He is starring!

If you don't like it, replace it.

Yachine comes out penalty area...

- What score? - 2-0. Dynamo is in the lead.

Look at the ! He stops them all!

He is incredible.

- It is my brother ! - His brother, anything!

She is outside.

The Dynamo throws the ball back. Here she is in the middle of the field.

Mamedov recovers it and get ahead.

He passes it and positions himself. The ball returns to the center.

Watch out, they're going up!

Everyone surrounds him.

The Streltsov Raid

surprises the Dynamo defense.

Streltsov passes to Ivanov.

He is getting closer from the penalty area

and is hit when returning on the penalty area.

Which inevitably means that there is a penalty.

It is Viktor Arkhipov who is chosen.

Yachine! Get in the center, quick!

Yeah, take that!

Did you see that ? You saw it ?

Everyone cheers him on! You call that circus?

He got lucky ! It looks like the circus.

History confirms it one more time.

It's not obvious

to beat a Dynamo goalkeeper.

The reaction is unanimous: great choice of position.

Lev Yashin well and truly deserved its place.

The construction of a new bloomer

was launched in the Kuznetsk steel plant.

Once commissioned, production of metal parts

will increase its volume by 60%.

This will represent a new record for the country.

The process will be monitored by a closed circuit device.

Sports now.

Dynamo Moscow comes to win with flying colors

as well as the gold medal during the USSR championship.

A victory to which has clearly contributed the new goalkeeper,

who received the honors. His name: Lev Yashin.

The weather now.

- Hold. - Thanks very much.

Congratulation.

Thank you.

Does it come from your fans?

- No, it's for you. - Thank you.

Do you have your passport on you?

Yes.

Well...

- Where are you taking me? - You will see.

Is this your first marriage?

Why do you say "first"? The first and the last.

They all say that.

Sorry miss, you forgot to tag

your husband's name.

I would like to keep mine.

There's nothing wrong with that, is there?

It's just in case.

It begins well...

Lyova, wait!

You take me by surprise

and you would like do i change my name?

You become Yachine or you are not my wife!

Do you have a light, please?

Calm down! Look, it's Dynamo's Yachine!

Are you Yachine? The football player ?

I'm not a footballer I am a keeper.

- Congratulation ! - I told you it was Yachine.

Yachine, there is someone for you.

Go talk to him.

Go on.

And you, at work!

She must have forgotten to iron his shoelaces.

- I think it's serious. - Serious ?

It's serious when you're married. It's windy there.

Vania, stop whining. You just do that.

We're waking up !

That's enough ! You have never seen films at the cinema?

I'm not joking. You will cover yourself with ridicule.

- I will show you. - That's nice, but it'll be fine.

We will get out of this.

Lida, what are you doing?

What are you doing ?

- They're practicing for the waltz. - I feel like it.

I'll show you Volodya. Let it go.

OK ! Me too, I like it.

Hello, young people!

I congratulate you for passing in the big leagues!

Misha, I presume?

Come on, guys.

- Misha, hi! - Congratulation.

Thank you.

- It's her ? - Yes.

And who is he? You want me to take care of it?

But no, he's a friend.

I would like to raise a toast.

- Let's raise our glasses. - Take this.

fellow athletes, let the toast master do the talking.

- Hello. Mikhail. - Nice to meet you.

Music !

My dear Valia, I thank you from the bottom of my heart

to support and help our dear friend and goalkeeper.

I don't do much.

But if ! By refusing to marry Lyova for so long,

you allowed him to channel his energy in football

and become a great guardian,

and even a national treasure.

On this blessed day, we entrust to you this wonderful treasure.

Thank you so much.

I will try to make myself worthy

and defend the honor Soviet sports.

Me too, I would like to make a toast!

Valentina is already influencing her! Before, it would have been impossible.

I toast to our team,

I drink at our club!

Long live Dynamo, my friends!

The kiss !

The kiss ! The kiss !

1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7...

Ladies and gentlemen,

We are live of the Parc des Princes, in Paris, for...

Decrease. You're going to wake the little one.

- That's it, she's sleeping? - Yes.

She hasn't slept all night like she was worried about her father.

How many times has he seen her? He spends his time in the field.

How are you doing without him?

mine has become diplomatic courier.

He leaves his mail and come back later.

What are you doing ? Come !

We're coming, darling. They won't win without us.

He passes the ball...

What is happening ?

He throws the ball above the penalty area.

Ponedelnik regains the ball.

The guard picks it up. The Yugoslavs attack.

Vidinic makes a pass to Skorolorats.

Givi, right!

He shoots !

Attention... But Yachine catches the ball!

A difficult stop.

The game is dirty Literally as figuratively.

England referee Ellis will show up on the spot.

The referee just announced extra playing time.

This part ends

on a draw, at 1 everywhere.

No one wants to give in:

both teams aspire to victory.

- Looks like a swamp. - Why did you stop?

Tolia?

- The match continues and it stops! - I thought he was going to whistle.

Take care of Yerkovich, you hear me ?

What are they eating ? They are tireless.

Oats.

Listen to me !

They play better than you? Nope !

Do they deserve to win more than you ? Nope !

- We understand, but... - If you understand, then win!

And like that, our country will be proud of you.

The world will know who you are.

They will remember you!

This game can change everything.

You need to understand that if you win,

your names will mark forever

soccer history.

It's time !

We're gonna win, Gavrila Dmitrich.

Start of overtime.

The referee just whistled.

The Yugoslavs have the ball. Shokolorats intercepts it.

Givi Chokhelli get the ball and...

Our defender tackles,

which gives the Yugoslav a chance to play.

He shoots...

But Yachine

makes a spectacular stop.

A Yugoslav opponent hits him

and crashes to the ground.

Our team is attacking.

Yachine makes a clearance.

He advances to the center.

For the moment, we are still at 1 everywhere.

The slightest goal will determine the champion.

This is the first European Cup who is at stake

and we are very moved by the idea that our Soviet players

win this trophy and bring it back to their country.

Our defense is trying to stop Shokolorats,

but he rushes in the penalty area.

Kostich volleys!

Yachine kicks the ball out for a corner!

You saw ? Looks like he knows in advance where he is going to shoot.

He's a genius, this guy!

Corner for Yugoslavia.

Yura, cover the whole area,

But get out of there!

Don't panic. I got it.

Yachine is amazing. He gets the ball

above the Yugoslavian!

Yachine throws the ball to our captain.

Netto makes a pass to Metrevelli, who passes it to Bubukin.

Which game !

Melodinovich finds himself on the right side of the field.

This game is decisive

for all players.

This is the European Cup.

Bubukin makes a pass on the left, Meskhe feigned.

Surface to repair.

Ponedelnik closes in and shoots...

Goal !

We are champions!

We won ! We won !

Your dad won!

Victoire !

We are champions!

Cheer !

Champagne?

You have to cut the muscle first.

And There you go...

It's disgusting.

It's filthy.

Who is it, do you think?

How would I know?

I will be back.

Congratulations again for your performance.

Mr. Bernabéu, the president of Real Madrid,

has an offer for you.

- President ? - The president, yes.

Mr. Bernabéu holds you in very high esteem

and offers you to join his club.

Here is the contract. You can put the amount you want.

Any amount?

Mr. Bernabéu is ready to pay you the amount you want.

Put 1 million...

Clean. Pleased, Netto.

Thank you, Mr. Bernabéu for this wonderful offer.

But...

In fact...

I was promised a bonus if I stayed in my club.

Mr. Bernabéu does not understand.

Real Madrid is a big club, but I'm too attached to Dynamo.

He knows your name sounds like to the word "lion" in Russian.

And with this answer, you do him honor.

Thank you so much.

To the champions!

And to the goalkeeper of his dreams!

Watch out, guys!

He's going to kick his ass!

We put it!

It's up to Chokhelli to wear it.

No, no, we didn't say that! You carry it to the hotel!

It's okay, I'll be able to do it.

Isn't that crazy?

Ponedelnik means Monday, and Ponedelnik scored a goal on Monday!

He didn't mark it with his name but his head!

Lyova, a speech.

- We are listening to you. - I toast to the Yugoslavs.

- Honestly, they played well. - It's true.

- What are they saying again? - "Zhivuli"!

That feels good!

I like...

We only miss the music.

Music is always with us.

Let's go ! Go on !

What are you doing ?

I'm thinking.

I would like to buy a fur for Valia.

But it is very expensive.

Lyova, tomorrow before we leave, you will buy your fur coat.

She will love it.

Our champions! Our champions!

Lyova!

Come on guys !

They are unleashed!

Attention !

You will suffocate him!

Lev Yashin! Lev Yashin!

Valiya!

There are several types of chocolate. Black, milk...

Drop me that. It's very good. Gently !

You want to see the super gift what did daddy do to you?

Daddy really spoiled you, My little love.

- A doll. She is pretty ? - She is beautiful.

Wait, sweetie...

You are crazy, It must have cost a fortune!

The guys participated.

I tried to negotiate, but the saleswoman refused.

She exaggerates ! A champion like you!

what interests him, is to sell, right?

What is that ?

The seam is not finished. And there is no liner.

Alright, I see...

I will go buy another one.

No way. I will add the liner myself. It's nothing.

I love it.

- Lyova. - What ?

French girls are beautiful like in the movies ?

There is everything.

Oh yes ?

Have you visited many?

I was too busy with Netto.

Archduchess socks are they dry, really dry...

Why are you laughing at me? I do this for my job.

You didn't put enough nuts in your mouth.

I will run out of detergent to clean your football shirt.

The Shabrovs go on vacation and we are going fishing!

Do not do it again.

We will leave when I retire.

I turn up the sound.

Lyova, I don't feel well.

What's the matter ?

I don't know... Stop the car.

I'm going to fetch water. Do not move.

Yes...

Here, my darling.

Little rascal!

Mikhalych? Why are you doing this?

Look, it looks like the one of the Prime Minister!

Stop, let's see. It makes me feel uncomfortable.

What bother me, is to piss against the wind!

Before, I was a driver for a general.

I didn't shine on him his car as much.

You, I respect you.

You offer me a cigarette? It would be nice.

Hold. Keep the package.

- And you ? - I'm trying to stop!

- Congratulations on the little one! - What are you going to call him?

Alyonka.

- Give this to your big girl. - Thanks very much. Thank you.

Take a look at this champion.

He is going to buy his milk. He's a good boy.

Lev Ivanovich, thank you very much for new offices.

I don't know what I would do without your help.

It's nothing.

You can't imagine what it represents.

You could do a speech for children?

tell them your last game, for example.

It's that I don't have a lot of time.

I need to practice and then go to Chile.

Lev Ivanovich!

I would like to give your name to our squadron.

It would be a great pride, to bear your name, Lev Yachine.

Would you like ?

You don't believe that I'm too alive?

- You will when I'm dead. - It will happen in too long.

Good luck.

Bring us the cup.

Many teams adhered to the Brazilian technique

4-2-4, like the Chileans.

But the team continues to use the WM technique.

Gavril Dmitrievich, hasn't WM become obsolete?

- Why not join... - Thanks to WM,

USSR national team won 4 matches in a row

against teams adhering to the Brazilian system.

We use both techniques because it is essential

to take an interest in techniques to improve our results.

Who will be the first choice of goalkeeper goals for our national team?

There is no shadow of a doubt.

The team's goalkeeper national will be Lev Yachine, right?

I confirm that he is our first choice.

This talented Dynamo player is a major plus.

He's the best keeper for this game.

Today is a special day !

In these quarter-finals of the World Cup,

Chile faces the USSR.

The stadium is packed. The match generated excitement.

Although the Soviet Union be the favourite,

let's not forget the famous saying:

"Many are looking for wool and come back shorn."

We Chileans

keep faith in our team and our trainer Fernando Riera.

chocolate hazelnuts, a specialty of the country.

This is delicious.

It's stopped.

What a pity

for the Soviet team.

The game has just started and the Chileans are already attacking!

Go Chile!

Lyova!

You hear me ?

He's not well. Lyova?

Do you hear me ? Lova, look at me.

- Do something ! - Please reply.

Everything will be alright. It's not possible !

- Answer! - Where is the ball?

You caught him.

It's gone badly.

Slowly slowly.

There...

Come on, let's go back.

Look at me.

- Do you feel like playing? - Yes.

OK, but watch out.

I need you for the final.

I'm well.

You should have left him more time.

Yachine needed a rest after the game against Uruguay.

Kotrikaze could have replaced him.

Why are you so defeatist?

We will never reach the final like that.

Trust them.

Do you forget that I'm behind you?

- I don't have eyes in the back of my head. - And I don't have 4 legs!

The Soviets are stronger than you!

I'm off!

And that's when Yachine...

The Cup is over.

Incredible...

This is what the news agency will announce?

"The team lost in a fair match"?

Isn't that the truth?

We need a valid reason.

It's not the team's fault.

The one who cashed two goals in 20 minutes

is the one to blame.

I can not understand how did he end

after the bad blow which he received in the head.

He did it. So he assumes.

- It's free. - Thank you.

The newspapers headline "The Stroganovs with Chilli Sauce!"

Someone has to pay for the defeat of our team.

The whole team is to blame, and me the 1st as a trainer.

Gavril, don't give up the team like that.

And then the Cup of European clubs is soon.

We have very promising young people.

Yachine has had its day.

Let's announce his retirement. He will become a coach.

- His retirement? - Yes.

It's not up to you to decide.

Yachine matters to the team.

Sasha, stop.

Don't wake Alyona, she is a light sleeper.

I'll make you donuts. It will be ready in 5 minutes.

It was what ?

Stay away from the window!

Lyova, don't go!

- How are the girls? - They are sleeping.

Don't worry, I did not catch them.

Oh, donuts.

Its good.

Valiya!

What do you have ? It's nothing. We're going to fix the window.

- Valiya... - Sorry.

Read page 3.

So what ?

It's the truth.

- I forbid you to say that. - Why ?

It is however true.

It's wrong.

They didn't see the game and they say...

I do not care.

Well hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Dynamo and army teams increased power

of their lines of defence.

We can expect a fierce match because they aim

the title of champion.

The teams enter.

Yachine, you're just a loser!

Get out of the way, you're useless!

Go home !

- How you speak of Yachine! - It's nothing!

Get the hell out, you bastard! You are the shame of our country!

Shut up ! Everyone has the right to make mistakes!

You just have to go down in the field !

Retire!

Guys, it's started!

Army team starts

on the wheel caps.

Pass to Fedotov. He shoots !

Yachine clears the ball. It's a tough game to play.

- How many are we? - 0-0. Petrovich, come.

No one would like to be in his place.

What is this noise?

They thank your Lyova for Chile!

Be careful ! Talk a lot about my son!

This game is decisive for qualifications.

Yachine is in position.

He prepares to shoot under the whistles of the crowd.

The supporters rage against him

and left him who was once their favorite goalkeeper.

It's the hard law of sport: everything is ephemeral.

I find it unfair to show so much ingratitude...

Valiya!

He has won many times our team.

Taxi!

Dynamo players make some mistakes.

The pace of the game slowed down.

Their opponents should not having too much trouble scoring.

The opposing team...

- What are you doing ? - I come to see my husband.

He works here?

This is Lev Yashin. Let me pass.

That's it ! And why you're not in the stadium?

Let me pass ! Stop!

Let her pass!

Volodya!

- What is going on ? - You better not come in.

Stay here.

Valia, don't go!

Where is he ?

Answer.

Your husband wanted to go out.

And you accepted?

I am not his nanny to my knowledge !

The pace has dropped for both teams

injury result suffered by the attackers.

Yachine's replacement remains a mystery, but in my opinion,

the coach had an idea in mind.

What is this mess ?

Lyova...

Where were you ?

What are you looking at?

He better calm down.

It starts to do well !

There are respectable people here. Move!

- To your honour ! - Do not scream.

I was a pride, and now, I'm good for nothing!

Stopped...

I'm no longer useful.

You should have heard them scream. "Yachine, get the fuck out!

Retire!"

Come refresh yourself.

I thought people love this sport!

They like victory!

Do not think about it anymore. Come.

Who am I playing for?

It is for them that I play!

I know. It'll be OK.

I'm going to the countryside.

I will go to Golunov,

in the House from Mishakolv's grandmother.

Come on, come here.

There you go, it's better.

You say nothing, huh?

I see...

That Yachine, you don't want it either.

Smoke, my son.

Otherwise you will fall asleep and you will lose all your fingers.

You did a good job today.

Give me that.

I never want to see you with this again!

I can smoke, I'm tall!

The big ones, as you say, they become goalkeepers.

I don't want to be a guardian I want to go to the field.

Yachine, life is just getting started for you.

Have confidence !

Go to your cage.

Yachine, a guardian must learn to fall.

- You understand ? - Yes.

And a guardian

must learn to get up.

Stand up !

Stand up !

Ask him.

- Sir... How are you? - Yes.

Are you yachine?

It's him...

It's me, yes. Why ?

Can you prove it?

Who shoots?

- Go on ! - We'll see if it's him!

What are you waiting for ?

Are you freaking out?

He took all the hay!

So ? Do you believe me now?

Here, your ball.

Lev Yachine, come, I have reserved a seat for you.

No thanks. It's not worth it.

Mironych.

- Lev, how are you? You look in good shape. - Yes I'm fine.

Let's go.

Hello.

Take a look at this...

He's too old for the team.

He doesn't care. He just wants to play.

It's hot, the sun is shining and the sky is clear

From above we are watched with curiosity

The football players are as fast as the wind

Who will be victorious this time around?

All it takes is one shot and the ball in the cage

The fans roar and the referee whistles

Let's go, footballers My friends, come on

Footballers are...

Lyova, sleep, don't worry. Rest up, I'll take care of it.

So you don't see that our man is sleeping?

No but !

The choir is over, my little ones.

Keep playing the singers

and i stick to you in military training! Understood ?

Silence.

No, but I swear!

It's the best way to complete a career:

a farewell match that the whole world can see.

A farewell match?

What are you talking about ?

He only lives for football and he plays very well.

Of course he plays very well.

But I have to think in the future of the team. He is 34 years old.

He is no longer young.

It's not easy to imagine another guard in his place.

No, it's not easy.

Ivan Ivanovich, I already told you that I was married.

- But Nina is single. - Yes that's it...

I'm not asking you to marry me!

Yachine's team arrives.

- Thank you. - Goodbye, Lev.

- Goodbye. - Hurry up.

Yachine!

Ponomaryov and Beskov are waiting for you on the terrace.

Hello, Yachin!

Hello.

How are you ? Good training ?

May I have an autograph ?

- Why ? - It's for friends.

- What do they want from me? - I don't know.

Or maybe I know, but hey...

- Is it top-secret? - You could say that.

- And There you go ! - Thank you.

Conspirator!

Ivan Ivanovich? Want my autograph?

You can go sign it on your neighbour's buttocks.

So, Lev,

not too tired to play against young people?

Not really.

Sit down.

Why ?

stop torturing him and tell him what you have to say to him.

Congratulation.

Why ?

For your recognition international.

Stop kidding me.

Did you see ? He doesn't believe his friends.

"On October 23, 1963,

at Wembley Stadium, London, the match of the century will take place.

England will face

the rest of the world to celebrate 100 years of English football.

FIFA has chosen the best goalkeeper of history, Lev Yachine,

as goalkeeper of the world team."

Take.

You are serious ?

But yes !

It's an official invitation.

Lily ! It's not every day that happens.

We are live from Wembley,

where takes place a historic game...

Yes, it's dad!

... the English against the rest of the world.

Hello ?

Good evening. Are you watching the game?

It's scrambled!

- But fix it! - One minute !

Congratulation for Lyova's birthday.

Thank you Valia.

You have a wonderful son...

Look, I'm watching the game here...

Valia, I'll call you back.

Shot on goal, but Lev Yachine managed to stop the ball.

It's incredible !

And Yachine saves the team from the rest of the world.

Score 0-0.

Greaves approaches Yachine.

He shoots...

But Yachine rejects the ball!

He should have rejected it for good

instead of fucking up the careers of others!

What others are you talking about? Of you ?

What if I was talking about myself?

Who offered him his place?

You speak ! Dirty liar !

So offer a place to your father in a real retirement home.

After the hard defeat at the World Cup in Chile,

today, millions people can see

that there never was best goalkeeper.

The best, yes! The best goalkeeper in the world!

And you, you used it, filthy careerist!

You old jerk! You'll see !

It's not true ? You haven't used it?

Everyone on the bridge All to your posts, comrades

The final fight will soon begin

Here it is, your retirement home! Deal on your own!

You really are a bastard!

Wembley Stadium is standing

to applaud our national guardian.

Despite several offensives English people,

Yachine didn't concede a goal.

Sorry.

Hello.

Thank you.

Comrade Yachin.

- Yes ? - Lev Ivanovich...

We were on the same plane, but I couldn't approach you.

- I'll sign it for you right away. - I don't want an autograph.

what I would like, it is asking your forgiveness.

Why ?

The telegram, in Chile, I sent it.

I didn't agree but my boss made me.

You understand me ?

I understand you.

Lyova!

Time does wonders. Present.

Lyova!

You can't imagine everything that happens !

You're on the front page of Pravda!

"The best keeper all time !"

People are waiting to see you!

- I want to go back home. - Oh yes ?

And all these people?

They are not nice than when I win. Here, for you.

Thank you.

- How are the girls? - They miss you.

I have gifts.

- What plane was it? - The one in London.

Has Yachine arrived?

Yes...

- You talker! - Here, sir.

Can you sign it for me?

I will remember this day until the end of my life !

Thank you.

Keep inspiring us!

Thanks to you, this ticket is worth a hundred times more!

But in 100 years, money will no longer exist.

- Have a good day. - To you too.

- Have you seen the Queen of England? - Yes.

And I saw Prince Philippe too.

The little ones are sleeping?

Yes.

I missed you.

Lyova, I'm scared that is not possible.

Why ?

Because I invited swans!

Happy birthday !

Doesn't that make you happy? We rehearsed a lot!

Of course it makes me happy!

Welcome to your home !

Thank you !

He looks like me !

I reported to you little things.

Wait. It's in my bag.

- Go on ! - It's coming.

- They are beautiful ! - There will be some for everyone !

- I want this one! - Calm down!

We empty our glass!

I resent you?

There.

Shabrov is annoyed!

It's incredible, the way you played this game.

We all loved it.

You are our national pride and global!

I say: long live the champion!

Yours !

Mishka, Mishka

I really care for you

Where did your beautiful smile go?

The biggest stupidity that you have committed, dear Mishka

It's to be away from me

Lyova...

You kept a tie I hope ?

I'm not very tie.

You won't have a choice...

with your new position.

I heard rumors, like what Dynamo was planning a job for you...

with your own office

and an attractive salary.

I'll be the boss, then?

Don't be stubborn.

It's the best way to end your career.

Behind a desk...

In your place, I would not refuse.

I woke up and I'm looking for my dad...

You see he is there.

Have you seen the moon? Looks like a soccer ball!

Together we will win again lots of matches!

Here it is ! He is coming !

- Hello. How are you ? - Hello. Yes thanks.

You can give that to boys?

Hello everyone.

Don't push, comrades!

- A declaration ? - I am impatient.

How do you feel, today ?

Pretty good.

Please, a short note for our readers.

A picture is worth more than words.

I'm happy to see you, "Tiger".

Pay attention to the material!

Calm down, he's about to play.

Can you hide me?

Your ulcer again?

I don't get rid of it.

I'm tired of taking this stuff.

It's my last game not true ?

You'll have to get your health back. You can't drag this.

- It will depend on what I do. - You better be in shape.

A beautiful conversion, it's not nothing. Here, look.

What's this ?

- What talent. - You should try to do it again.

Not for the story, but for me.

Maybe, who knows ?

In any case, it has to look natural,

without staging.

You haven't forgotten everything I taught you!

I will always be with you grateful.

Good morning !

They will be merciless for your grand finale, I warn you.

Go ahead. It's your big day.

See you soon.

I spoke to Mitich. Between coaches, face to face.

He asks me what we plan to do.

- What do you mean ? - It's your last game...

We can arrange between us.

I see.

We'll give them a beating.

We are live for the game between the team of world stars

and Dynamo, the Soviet Union team.

Luzhniki Stadium is full to bursting.

Today is the last game

of the legendary goalkeeper Lev Yashin.

Whose name will forever remain engraved in gold

in world football history.

The world star team attack with force.

It's today their last chance to score

against the legendary goalkeeper.

Bobby Charlton, Gerd Muller... What glorious names.

They attack again and again.

Schultz makes a pass to Charlton.

Müller joins the attack on the right.

Charlton is getting dangerously close of the goal.

He shoots !

Yachine stops him!

A gift for his fans

and all lovers of soccer in the world.

- What are we doing ? - We're doing as planned.

Yachine launches the attack.

Dynamo Moscow's Kozlov moves on the wing.

Ladislav Kuna intervenes.

The Dynamo tries to put pressure, but in vain !

Dzajic passes with confidence the ball to Charlton.

unorthodox pass to Müller approaching...

Powerful shot and...

Yachine, again and again, stop the ball!

European and Olympic champion, five times champion of the USSR,

Ballon d'Or winner.

For this farewell match, Yachine fights like a lion.

Yachine raises her hand.

Which means that he wants to be replaced.

A young Dynamo goalkeeper, Vladimir Pilguy,

will replace Yachine in goal.

Listen to this incredible silence who fell on the stands.

This silence is not surprising.

It's the end of an era.

That of Yachine in football.

A brilliant and incomparable era.

Yes...

An era that will remain etched forever in our memory

and in our hearts...

Cheer !

Thank you to all of you !

- Mom, where do I put this? - Leave it there.

Bring the salad.

- And the glasses? - Next to the plates.

We need dad's, too.

Valiya!

Take me to Dynamo.

- Guests arrive. - What is going on ?

Hold on, girls!

Lyova, where do you want what are we going in this weather?

And our guests, then?

It is complicated ! There are journalists everywhere.

And TV people.

They're here to give you a prize.

I've got to go.

Here we are.

Wait, Lyova.

I will help you.

Wait for me. Slowly slowly...

There. Attention.

Stay there, honey.

I go there alone.
