The price of victory

Photo taken on February 6, 2021 at the children's football tournament at Olymp Stadium. A strong player of the winning team was cut off by an opponent with a hard tackle. The players stand at a loss as, will the player continue the game or will leave as a substitute. The situation was ambiguous. The player was lying on the ground with a painful grimace on his face and holding his leg. His teammate begged him to get up and keep playing. He gave support, hope for victory, and the match continued. Despite the pain and tears, the main player brought victory to his team. Children's football is always filled with bright emotions and team spirit. Sport Russia, Moscow
