This is the case of Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, a 37-year-old man who was an international player for the Russian national football team and also played for Everton in the Premier League. Now he will have to fight for his country, but in war. Everything is wrong.
And precisely according to the statements of Rinat Bilyaletdinov, father of Diniyar: "Diniyar received a citation. It is difficult to talk about emotions because he did not serve, although he did his military service, but it was specific to sports. That was 19 years ago. That is, yes, he took an oath, but he served in relation to sports. The law said that they were going to call people up to 35 years old, and he is 37, so there is some kind of inconsistency here."
It should be noted that Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, announced in recent days that 300,000 troops of the Army would be moved to the border with Ukraine to confront the complex war situation between the two sister nations of Eastern Europe.
Finally, in statements to Sports.ru, the father of the former footballer stated: "now he will find out if this citation is correct or if it was sent prematurely. Anything can happen. If there was a general mobilization, then there is no need to ask questions. The president has set a partial one, everything must comply with the law."
A very bad situation for the man who, in addition to wearing the Russian jersey in the great Euro 2008, where they reached the semifinals and were eliminated by Spain; also had the luxury of playing for clubs such as Rubin Kazan, Spartak Moscow, and Everton in England.
