# Ask на « Зенит - ТВ ": Кержаков / # Ask Kerzhakov ( English subtitles )

What was your favorite lesson in school? (Filipp Kuznetsov) Filipp Kuznetsov asks what my favorite subject in school was. Of course it was gym class. But if you want to know about more subjects, when I lived in boarding school my favorite subject was physics, thanks to the teacher. Of course I don't know anything about physics, but the way the teacher, Olga Ivanovna, led the lessons, was really great. How often do you go with your family to the countryside? (Nick Sharin) I live outside the city as it is, so there's no need for me to go specially to the countryside to rest. What's your favorite place to go to rest? Where do you usually go on vacation? (Ekaterina Samuseva) Of course my favorite place to be is St. Petersburg. I was born in Kingisepp, but I've been living for a long time in St. Petersburg. I came here when I was 11 years old, so I consider this city to be my home city, my second home city. As far as vacation goes, I like warm countries, just like everyone else, but I don't like to fly. I really don't like to fly. I guess the best place to go is the United Arab Emirates, because it's not such a long flight, and it's convenient. But the place I remember the most is the Seychelles Islands. Do you ever go home to Kingisepp? (Sergey Akimov) I go there very rarely. I just started missing home, so I decided to go there. I guess that was in 2010. Or maybe 2011. Did you study Spanish for a long time? (Alex Novichenkov) I didn't study it very long, and I guess I can't say I know it very well, because I only how to say the things I needed to know in terms of my everyday life, and in my playing career. The best way to study the language is just to stop using Russian completely, at least outside of the house, which I was able to do in Spain. I listened to the guys speaking in the locker room, and I tried to repeat after them. The main thing is not to be afraid of making mistakes. Especially in Spain, because the way they speak in the north is different from the way they speak in the south. The people there really liked it when I tried to speak Spanish. So the main thing is just to speak. The more you try, the better you become. Do you like the weather in St. Petersburg? What kind of weather do you like the best? (Bogdan Sidun) Of course I like the weather here, because this is my native climate, and any other climate seems different to me. I like the weather we have here. How much time do you spend in the gym? (Bogdan Sidun) I don't go specially to the gym. I just go there when we have practices in the gym. I don't go on my own. Only if I'm on vacation, I can go run on the treadmill a little bit, to stay in shape. What do you like to do in your free time? (Nikita Smirnov) Usually I spend my free time just recovering. Now, as I get older, I need more time to recover from practices, and matches. So my favorite thing to do in my free time is just not do anything, and take a rest. Sasha, when will you start scoring again? (Verochka Ponomaryova) Verochka Ponomaryova asked when I'll start scoring again. Well, I would like them to start going in as soon as possible. I'm waiting for that to happen too. How do you think, can the Kerzhakov — Hulk combination become as strong as the Kerzhakov — Arshavin one? If not, why? (Ivan Kashin) I would say that it obviously can't be the same, because the people are different, and in the case of our combination with Andrey, it's a kind of nostalgia for me. It was a long time ago, and there were a lot of fun times. There are a lot more positive, happy memories than negative ones. As for our combination with Hulk, they way we play now, with our tactics, you can't single out just one link. There's a defensive block, and an attacking block. And you can't just point out two players in that block. Before we singled out to strikers, and that was me and Andrey. How are things going with construction of the Morozov Academy? We haven't heard anything about that for a long time. (Sasha Parfyonov) I think that we'll start construction at the beginning of next year. And I hope that by September or October of next year we can open the first artificial pitches. Then we'll build an indoor pitch. Why don't you have pages in social media? (Anya) Anya asks me why I don't use social media... I don't have use them because I don't need them. There's no point. I already talk with the people I need to talk to. Sasha, what's your favorite film? (Evgeny Novikov) Well, if I have to choose just one film, not counting all the Soviet classics, because I love all of those films, and I can watch them over and over, then in terms of foreign films I like "The Apocalypse" by Mel Gibson. Do you listen to rock music? If yes, what's your favorite St. Petersburg rock music? (Vadim Korablyov) Naturally I listen to rock music, and I don't hide the fact that I like the group Leningrad, and I like their music, and I have their music in my player, and I listen to them in the airplane. I also like the group Kino. But if I have to name just one group, it's Leningrad. Alexander, do you know how to play any music instrument? If not, what instrument would you like to learn to play? (Yana Tumarenko) No, I don't play any musical instruments. But I just didn't want to learn. If I wanted to learn an instrument, I could have. But I just didn't have the desire. I like to listen to good music. And it's better to listen to professionals. Who would be in your squad of the best Zenit players of the last 10 years? (Svetlana Shevchuk) Probably I'm going to name players not just for their football skills, but for my own relation to those players, the way I would like it to be. So of course Slava in goal. I would probably put Sarkis Ovsipyan and Nicolas Lombaerts in the central defense. I would put Anyukov on the right, and Criscito on the left. In the midfield I would put Igor Denisov and Andrey Kobelev in the center, with Andrey Nikolayevich closer to the forwards. Volodya Bystrov on the right, Sasha Spivak on the left, and me and Arshavin ad striker.
