Semak Sergey Bogdanovich children. Anna Semak: “Tanya’s appearance in the family benefited everyone

July 20, 2016, 12:36 pm

The coach of St. Petersburg Zenit Sergei Semak adopted a girl with disabilities, who became the eighth child in the family. Alexander Gezalov, a member of the Council for Orphans of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, spoke about this on his Facebook page.

“The coach of the Russian national team and Zenit, Semak Sergei, together with his wife Anna, took a child with disabilities from the orphanage. The girl, princess Tanya, has been living with them for several months. Tanya will have to undergo expensive operations at the expense of the family's family budget. Sergei also helps orphans playing football with sports equipment and shoes. “I can’t remain silent,” wrote Gezalov.

Under the post, Gezalov put the hashtag #NotOnlyRonaldo, thereby hinting at the attention of the press to the charitable activities of the Portuguese football player. A few days ago it became known that Cristiano Ronaldo donated 275 thousand euros, which he received for the Portuguese team's victory at Euro 2016, to a foundation to fight childhood cancer. This was announced with the hashtag #respect on the official Twitter of the Manchester United team, for which Ronaldo plays.

40-year-old Sergei Semak ended his football career in 2013 and is now raising eight children. He became the Russian champion with CSKA, Rubin and Zenit. From 2014 to 2016, Semak was an assistant coach of the Russian national team. He currently works on the Zenit coaching staff.

People with disabilities (disabilities) have deficiencies in physical or mental development. This diagnosis is given to deaf, hard of hearing, blind, visually impaired people, as well as those suffering from severe speech or musculoskeletal disorders and mental retardation. Children with disabilities often need special correctional education and upbringing.

On April 6, 2011, son Savva was born. On February 22, 2013, daughter Ilaria was born.

The beginning of life's journey

The Russian football player was born in Ukraine in 1976, on February 27. His childhood years were spent in the village of Sychanskoye (now Lugansk). Here he received his secondary education and entered the Lugansk Olympic Reserve School. There, the future champion was taught football skills by coach Valery Belokobylsky.

After graduating from the Lugansk School, Semak Sergei Bogdanovich, at the age of 16, moved to Moscow. Here he begins to build a career, becoming a member of the Presnya football club (1992). Then the footballer moves to the Karelia club, where his skill is noticed by coach Konstantin Beskov. So Sergei becomes a member of Asmaral, and then CSK.

First achievements

Sergei Semak scored his first goal a year after joining the army club. And at the age of 19 he was appointed captain of the football team.

In 2002 and 2004, the Russian football player was awarded the “Golden Horseshoe” - the main prize of the army fan community. And in 2003, he was awarded a similar figurine, but in bronze.

In 2005, Sergei accepted an offer from the top French football club Paris Saint-Germain, but he never managed to make a good career there. Therefore, after a while he returned to Russia and became a member of FC Moscow. Very soon the footballer became the leader of the Russian club and the highest paid midfielder.

But Sergei Semak did not want to stop there and decided to transfer to the Kazan club Rubin. And having become a member of a club in Tatarstan, the footballer was able to lead it to the title of Russian champions. In 2007, the midfielder surpassed the 100-goal mark in the Russian championships.

Personal life

Sergei Semak, whose photos are always featured in fashion glossy magazines, distinguished himself not only in the football field, but also in the personal sphere. Today, the famous football player is raising seven children, six of whom are his own, and one from the previous marriage of his second wife.

Sergei met his first wife, Svetlana Demidova, in a cafe when he was 17 years old. The young athlete liked the girl so much that he decided to get her attention at any cost. This took about a year, during which the football player skillfully looked after the beauty. Later the lovers got married. Their marriage lasted 10 years. During this time, Svetlana gave her husband a son, Ilya.

But in 2006, Sergei had a fateful meeting. One evening he went to sit in a Parisian cafe with his wife (then he played for Paris Saint-Germain). There, near the football player’s toilet, a girl named Anna, who worked as an administrator of the establishment, waylaid him. She quickly handed Semak a piece of paper with her phone number and asked him to call. And after a while Sergei called the fan. From that moment on, Anna became the football player’s “legal” mistress, and later his common-law wife. And after her divorce from Svetlana Demidova in 2007, 22-year-old Anna began to lay claim to the title of Semak’s official wife.

The footballer could not leave his wife Svetlana for a long time. He was tormented by his conscience about what he could do to a loved one, and therefore for three years he was torn between two women. But when Anna gave birth to Sergei’s son, everything was decided by itself.

Children of a football player

Anna Semak, although younger than Sergei, was able to surpass him in the number of official marriages. The girl was married twice. Sergei Semak became the third official husband of the sizzling brunette.

Anna was able to give birth to her wife of five children - sons Semyon, Ivan, Savva and daughters Varvara and Ilaria. The footballer admits that he is very happy to be a father of many children. Sergei has a son from his first marriage; he has 5 children together with his new wife and Anna has 1 child from a previous marriage.

Semak grew up in and therefore from a young age he dreamed of creating his own large family, where he would have many children. And it looks like Anna was able to make the football player’s dream come true.

Sergei has an interesting story connected with his daughter Varvara. The girl was born on the day the football player played for Rubin, whose opponent was Barcelona. This game ended in a draw, and Semak decided to name his daughter Barcelona, ​​in honor of the rival team. These rumors quickly spread in the press, but they did not come true. The official name for the girl has already been chosen - Varvara.

Strict but kind father

Anna Semak has repeatedly admitted that she wanted to have many children next to Sergei. The second wife was able to give birth to five children for her husband, and it seems that the couple is not going to stop there. The couple plans to adopt another child in the future.

Sergei Semak, whose children look happy, admits that he really loves each of them. The footballer strongly supports his eldest son Ilya (from his first marriage), who loves to come to visit his father. Semak considers his daughter Maya, who remained with Anna after her first marriage, to be her own child. According to his wife, Sergei loves his children with all his heart, but does not forget about strictness in upbringing.

Strictness and discipline are the fundamental principles that guide football players in training with young students.

Business

Sergei Semak is a football player and successful businessman. Over the years of his football career, he was able to open his own business - the Limo-Club limousine rental company. The idea of ​​creating a company began to be implemented in 2007. It was during this period that the famous football player began buying limousines. At first it was planned that the company would belong to Semak’s first wife, Svetlana Demidova. But after the divorce in 2007, Svetlana became only a representative of her ex-husband’s interests in the automobile business.

Today, the captain of the Russian football team is the president of the Limo Club. His company provides rental cars for special occasions and events.

Sergei Semak: about football

The coach of the famous football club was the titled Russian football player Sergei Semak. Zenit signed a 3-year contract with the Russian champion.

But in recent years, the Zenit team has not pleased fans with its victories. Semak explains this by the emergence of new players in the team, changes in game tactics and the difficulties of “grinding in” players to each other.

Sergei admits that it is not easy for Zenit’s youth to play. And although the professional level of the players is high, young football players cannot withstand the competition. The coach believes that young players should train more with masters of sports and strengthen themselves mentally.

Sergei claims that in a team, as in a family, one must adhere to strict discipline. Players must have good self-control, hard work and dedication. But the football player emphasizes that today’s youth do not have the willpower or patriotism that would motivate them to succeed. Therefore, probably, young football players do not live up to the coach’s expectations.

Dossier

Sergey Semak - biography, personal life and main achievements.

Anya, the common-law wife of the famous football player, met him by waylaying him drunk near the toilet

Hero of Euro 2008, midfielder of the Russian national team and Rubin football team Sergei SEMAK, is going to get married to his girlfriend Anna before the end of this year. Registration of marriage will put a logical end to their ambiguous situation: the lovers already have two sons - 3-year-old Sema and six-month-old Vanechka. But the celebration will take place only if his ex-wife Svetlana, with whom the athlete has a 10-year-old son Ilya, agrees to the debunking. In an exclusive interview with Express Gazeta, Svetlana told what she was left with and how her insidious rival managed to take her husband away from her.

Olga KHODAEVA

At Euro 2008, Semak appeared on the streets of Leogang, Austria, where our team was located, with his common-law wife Anya and two young sons. And just two years ago we interviewed Sergei in France, when he played for Paris Saint-Germain.

He came to a Parisian cafe with his wife Svetlana. They looked like an absolutely happy couple: they kissed and vying with each other about how wonderful they were living in a comfortable house in Saint-Germain-Aulay. As it now turns out, they played for the audience. At this time, Sergei and Anna’s eldest son, Sema, was already born. A year later, Semak left his wife.

I met Svetlana at the office of Sergei Semak’s LIMO-CLUB company. The ex-wife is the co-director and co-founder of this company.

Walking past the building of the CSKA arena on Leningradsky Prospekt, it is impossible not to notice the luxurious limousines. Half of the fleet is the property of the captain of the Russian national team. In 2006, having returned from France, Sergei, together with a banker he knew, opened a luxury car rental company.

Not divided equally

Sergei returned to Moscow in 2006, and I stayed in France so that my son Ilya could finish second grade,” says Svetlana. - My husband offered to represent his interests in business. The school year ended, we got ready to go to Moscow, and then Sergei called me: “We won’t live together anymore.”

And although I had known for a long time that he had a mistress, these words were a strong blow. We talked and we both cried. I'm in France, and he's in Moscow. Sergei said: “You will forever remain a close person to me, I will help in everything.” I lost my beloved... - here Svetlana fell silent for a minute, coping with the surging tears, -... he is beloved to this day... The meaning of life has also been lost, although, of course, I have a son and I live now only for him. I howled for two months. Then Tanya arrived, the wife of Sergei’s partner, with whom he bought limousines. The banker suggested that she also take over the company. We got to work. Business saved me. I took my mind off the excruciating mental pain and started a new life.

- Are you now a co-owner of Sergei Semak’s LIMO-CLUB?

When buying cars, he said that he was opening a company for me. But before the divorce, and we divorced in December 2007, Sergei transferred the cars to himself. So I only represent his interests in the company. However, I have no reason to think bad: Sergei is a decent person.

According to Svetlana, all the property of their family was registered in the name of her husband. Semak did not throw money around, did not buy expensive trinkets for his wife, like many famous athletes.

We built a house, all the money went there,” says Sveta. - As it turned out later, at this time he acquired other real estate.

Semak is a wealthy man. While playing in Moscow, he was the club's highest paid player. Having become a midfielder for Rubin Kazan, Sergei receives one of the highest salaries in the Russian Premier League. But he did not want to divide the property acquired during their marriage with his wife in half. Having announced his departure, Semak asked his 8-year-old son where the boy would like to stay with his mother - in a Moscow apartment or in a mansion near Moscow. Before the divorce, the family lived in a luxurious 4-story house in the village of Anosino on Novorizhskoye Highway. Ilya chose him. Semak re-registered the house for his son and wife. Opposite this mansion is an equally luxurious cottage. It also belongs to Semak. Svetlana doesn’t know who will live in it. The football player also has a house in Kurkino, built for his parents. True, they are in no hurry to move from Lugansk.

Despite the obvious injustice in the division of property, Svetlana does not express a word of reproach towards Semak, sincerely believing that he did everything right:

Sergei pays good alimony. We have something to wear, where to live, we can afford to eat as we want. My opponent Anya was very lucky. She got the best man in the world!

A little need let me down

Previously, Sergei loved to tell the romantic story of meeting Svetlana. They lived in the same house. Sveta is with her parents, and he is two doors down in the apartment that the club rented to him. There was a cafe next door to the house. This is where they met. The next day Seryozha came to the cafe again.

Without waiting, he asked the waitress to give Sveta a bouquet of roses and a note.

He was 18. I’m two years older, but I was incredibly interested in him,” recalls Svetlana. - And Seryozha courted him beautifully. He gave flowers and teddy bears. I didn’t immediately fall in love, but then I realized: I couldn’t live without him for a minute. We got married on November 27, and registered on December 29, 1995, in a hurry to get married before the leap year in order to live happily ever after. At first it seemed to me that we would be together forever. But later, when he became popular and he had hundreds of fans, I began to fear losing him. I forbade my husband to go out with friends to drink beer and demanded that he go home quickly. I didn’t understand: he needed psychological relief. Scandals began. And just at the moment of crisis Anya turned up.

Sergei told me the story of meeting Anya. Once my husband and friends were sitting in the First restaurant. 22-year-old Anya, having divorced her second husband, came to Moscow from Tver and got a job here as an administrator. She, of course, knew which guests were sitting at the table, and she also knew that Sergei had come with his wife. She waylaid him at the men's restroom. She handed me a note with a phone number. Of course he could have thrown it away. But he called anyway. And I'm guilty of this too. We quarreled all the time. So he wanted to relax.

The fatal meeting happened before leaving for France. Sveta immediately sensed betrayal. A few months later I discovered that my husband had a pass to a town house in Kurkino.

A thought struck her: her husband bought his mistress an apartment. But Semak denied everything. Three years later it turned out that Svetlana was not mistaken in her guesses. Having informed her about the decision to leave, Sergei moved to Anya in Kurkino.

Life for three

Before leaving for France, Semak confessed everything to his wife. After all, until now he had not given her any reason to be jealous. The deceived wife was worried, but the husband insisted that he was simply mistaken and begged for forgiveness. In France, Sergei first lived without his family in a small apartment, waiting for the club to provide him with a home. Sveta and her son visited him.

When I arrived, I found long hair in my husband’s apartment, objects clearly left behind by a woman, and with intent,” recalls the ex-wife. - After each discovery, a showdown began. I was packing my suitcase, Seryozha asked me to stay for Ilyusha’s sake. I found the strength to forgive. When getting ready to go home, she left notes, wrote poems about love, and decorated the apartment with rose petals. On my next visit to my husband in France, Anya called me and said that she was living with Seryozha in Paris when I was not there. She said that he took off his wedding ring in front of her. Another time she asked if I was sleeping with my husband. I waged a psychological war, and I, the fool, answered honestly: “I’m not sleeping.” I answered Anya: “Everything will definitely work out for us, and we will give birth to a second child.” She just killed me: “And I’m already expecting a child.” Seryozha confirmed everything. According to him, he did not use protection - Anya deceived him, saying that she could not have children. Having learned about the pregnancy, he freaked out and begged not to give birth. Anya said: “Abortion is a sin.”

Realizing that the situation could not be changed, Svetlana came to terms with her husband’s illegitimate child.

In addition, Sergei assured: “I want to stay with you and Ilya,” says Sveta.

And when Anya gave birth to Sema, the legal wife, together with her unfaithful husband, bought clothes for the baby. The mistress called Semak in Paris for every reason - the roof was leaking, the baby had a tummy ache... Sergei called whoever was needed, solved all the problems.

Essentially, the three of us lived - me, Sergei and Anya,” the ex-wife says bitterly. - This went on for three years! I lived in hope.

Seryozha should have cut the ends right away. It would be easier for everyone that way.

On March 8, 2006, Semaki was celebrated in Moscow. Sergei’s friend Anya called and reported that his mistress tried to commit suicide. The football player, leaving his wife, went to Kurkino. In the apartment he found scattered packs of sleeping pills and, fortunately, a living Anya.

She was probably offended that Seryozha did not spend the holiday with her, so she staged a performance, says Sveta. - But Semak took the prank seriously.

And yet, the abandoned wife understands: she lost her husband not only because her rival turned out to be more cunning:

One day my friend asked Seryozha why he rarely sleeps with me. He replied: I cannot live with two women at the same time. He physically stopped wanting me. And I couldn’t do anything about it. Duty held him back, but his heart called to Anya. Now I can say: the main thing is that Sergei is happy. I never wished him harm. But for Anya, yes. She shouldn’t have poisoned my soul with calls, because it was already hard for me. Now I envy her with white envy.

P.S.: 10-year-old Ilya is still very worried about his parents’ divorce; he loves his father madly. Semak now lives in Kazan, plays for Rubin. Recently Ilya went to visit his dad. True, he did not live at his father’s house, but in a hotel with Sergei’s brother. This is what the ex-wife and current wife wished. Ilyusha met his younger brothers and Anna’s daughter from a previous marriage, 8-year-old Maya.

And Svetlana got a new man two months ago.

Biography of Sergei Semak

Semak Sergey Bogdanovich born in the village of Sychasnkoe, near Lugansk on February 27, 1976. He dreamed of becoming a football player since childhood, but at the same time, unlike many athletes, he paid great attention to education. Semak graduated from high school with a gold medal, after which he moved to Moscow. He took his first steps in Russian football at Presnya and Karelia, which were then farm clubs of the Moscow "Asmarala", owned by an Iraqi businessman Hussam Al-Khalidi. Already in his debut match for Asmaral, footballer Sergei Semak scored a goal, having done this at the age of 17 years and 253 days. Thus, he became one of the youngest players to score in the top division of Russian football. Semak played for Asmaral until 1994, when CSKA selectors paid attention to him. Al-Khalidi did not want to let the talented football player go and the army team made a “knight’s move” - football player Semak was drafted into the army, after which he became a player "CSKA".

"CSKA"

Army match against Ferencvaros in 1/16 Cup Winners' Cup, which took place on September 15, 1994, was the first in which he played Sergey Semak. "CSKA" then won with a score of 2:1, but the meeting in Budapest lost with the same score and lost a spot in the 1/8 of the tournament to the Hungarian club in a penalty shootout. Footballer Sergei Semak quickly adapted to the new club and became a real team leader. In the 1995 season, the CSKA coaching staff appointed nineteen-year-old Semak team captain, but such a dubious, at first glance, decision quickly became clear to everyone. The young midfielder gained great authority among his teammates, and fans began to perceive him as a symbol of the team.

Footballer Semak won his first trophy with CSKA only in 2002, when the army team became the winners Russian Cup. The very next season, the midfielder, for the first time in his life, became the champion of Russia, having already spent nine years at CSKA by that time. In the 2004/2005 season, the midfielder played with the team in Champions League, where the army team's opponents in the group stage were Porto, Chelsea and PSG. In December 2004, CSKA, which by that time had already lost its chance of reaching the 1/8 of the tournament, won a landslide victory over the Parisian club in the last match of Group H. The main hero of the match was footballer Sergei Semak, who played as a forward and scored a hat-trick. The management of PSG was greatly impressed by the performance of the Russian football player and soon offered Semak a personal contract. CSKA did not retain the midfielder and a few weeks later the player moved to the Parisian club.

PSG and return to Russia

After signing a contract with PSG Sergei Semak and his wife Svetlana moved to Paris. The Russian midfielder was warmly welcomed at the new club, and the team’s head coach Vahid Halilhodzic stated that he has high hopes for the newcomer. More than a hundred journalists came to the presentation of Semak as a PSG football player, and there was considerable excitement around the Parisians’ newcomer. But Sergey Semak, photo which in the first weeks after the transfer was on the pages of Parisian sports publications, could not live up to the expectations. In the new team, the midfielder did not play to his full potential and often remained on the bench. At the end of the 2004/05 season, PSG took only ninth place in the French Championship, and things were not going well for the team. After the transfer of footballer Semak, the club changed three head coaches, each of them did not see the midfielder as a full-fledged main player.

In January 2006, Sergei Semak signed a three-year contract with FC Moscow and returns to the Russian Championship. In the new club, he gains the status of leader and becomes the highest paid player on the team. Largely thanks to the football player Semak, already in the next season FC Moscow finished the championship in the European Cup zone and received the right to participate in UEFA Cup.

"Ruby"

In January 2008, Semak signed a three-year agreement with Rubin Kazan and moved to Kazan. In the new club, footballer Sergei Semak receives the captain’s armband and in the first season helps the “Rubies” win the first Russian championship gold in the team’s history. And already in the next season, the Kazan club repeated this achievement, simultaneously performing well in the European arena. In the Champions League, Rubin received Barcelona, ​​Dynamo Kiev and Inter Milan, who would go on to win the tournament. The match at "Camp Nou» vs Barcelona Josep Guardiola, which Rubin won with a score of 2:1. In the return match, the Kazan club played a goalless draw with the Catalans, but lost to Inter in the last match of the group stage and dropped out of the tournament. With Rubin, Semak won 3 trophies, just as he did with CSKA.

Russian team

For the first time, as part of the national team, football player Sergei Semak played on November 15, 1997, in a match with the Italian national team, which then featured stars Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Del Piero and Fabio Cannavaro. In that match, as part of the qualification for the 1998 World Cup, Russia lost with a score of 1:0 and, based on the results of the qualifying stage, did not reach the final stage of the tournament. Semak’s brightest period in the national team came at Euro 2008. The midfielder, by that time, became the captain of the team and made a significant contribution to the success of the team at the tournament, being the first to receive a bronze medal in this championship. After the arrival of Dick Advocaat, the midfielder was no longer called up to the national team, explaining this decision by the player’s age. In total, Semak played 65 matches as a member of the Russian national team, being quite a bit inferior in this indicator to the legendary Soviet football player.

"Zenith"

In the summer of 2010, 34-year-old football player Sergei Semak signed a contract with Zenit for 2.5 years. By that time, the player’s career was already nearing its end, but the midfielder managed to prove that he was a high-level player and helped the “blue-white-blue” win two championship titles. Until now, the only player who became the champion of Russia with three different clubs is Sergey Semak. "Zenith" became the last team in which the midfielder played the role of a football player. After the 2012/13 season, the St. Petersburg management decided not to renew the contract with Semak, and the midfielder decided to retire. However, he remained in the Zenit system and joined the team's coaching staff as an assistant to Luciano Spalletti.

Coach Sergei Semak

On March 11, 2014, Semak was appointed acting head coach of Zenit after the dismissal of Luciano Spalletti. Under his leadership, the team played two matches - on March 15, in the 21st round of the Russian championship, they lost away to CSKA 0:1, and on March 19, they won the return match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund away 2:1. On March 20, Sergei Semak gave way to Andre Villas-Boas, remaining in his headquarters.

In September - October 2015, Sergei Semak led Zenit in six matches of the Russian Championship due to the disqualification of Villas-Boas. After the Portuguese left, Semak continued to work in the headquarters of Mircea Lucescu.

On August 31, 2014, together with Igor Simutenkov, he joined the coaching staff of the Russian national team led by Fabio Capello. After Capello left the national team, Semak retained his post on the coaching staff of Leonid Slutsky, and took part in Euro 2016 as a coach.
