Sergey Semak, whose photo does not go away from glossy fashion magazines, distinguished himself not only in the football field, but also in his personal sphere. Today, the famous football player brings up seven children, six of whom are his own, and one from the previous marriage of his second wife.
With his first wife, Svetlana Demidova, Sergei met in a cafe when he was 17 years old. The young athlete liked the girl so much that he decided at all costs to get her attention. It took about a year, during which the player skillfully courted the beauty. Later, the lovers got married. Their marriage lasted 10 years. During this time, Svetlana gave the wife of her son Ilya.
But in 2006, Sergei had a fatal meeting. One evening, he went to sit in a Parisian cafe with his wife (then he played for Paris Saint-Germain). There, at the footwear of the football player’s toilet, a girl named Anna, who worked as the administrator of the establishment, was on guard. She quickly handed Semak a piece of paper with her phone number and asked to call. And after a while Sergey called a fan. From that moment, Anna became the “legitimate” lover of a football player, later - his common-law wife. And after a divorce in 2007 with Svetlana Demidova, 22-year-old Anna began to claim the title of official wife of Semak.
The footballer could not leave his wife Svetlana for a long time. He was tormented by his conscience that he could cause mental pain to a loved one, and therefore for three years he was torn between two women. But when Anna gave birth to Sergei a son, everything was decided by itself.
Soccer player children
Anna Semak, although younger than Sergei, was able to surpass him by the number of official marriages. The girl was married twice. Sergey Semak became the third official husband of a burning brunette.
Anna was able to give birth to a wife of five children - sons of Semen, Ivan, Savva and daughters Barbara, Hilaria. The footballer admits that he is very happy to be a father with many children. From his first marriage, Sergei left a son, with his new wife he has 5 common children and 1 child from Anna from a previous marriage.
Semak grew up in a large family, and therefore from a young age he dreamed of creating his own large family, where he will have many children. And it seems that Anna was able to fulfill the dream of a football player.
An interesting story is connected with Sergey Barbara’s daughter. The girl was born on the day of the game of a football player as part of Rubin, whose opponent was Barcelona. This game ended in a draw, and Semak decided to name his daughter Barcelona, ​​in honor of the opposing team. These rumors quickly spread in the press, but they did not materialize. The official name of the girl has already been chosen - Barbara.
Strict but kind father
Anna Semak repeatedly admitted that next to Sergey she wanted to have many children. The second wife was able to give birth to her husband five, and it seems that the couple is not going to stop there. Spouses in the future plan to adopt another child.
Sergei Semak, whose children look happy, admits that he really loves each of them. The football player strongly supports the eldest son Ilya (from his first marriage), who loves to visit his father. Semak considers his own daughter Maya, who remained with Anna after her first marriage. According to the wife, Sergey loves his children with all his heart, but does not forget about the severity of education.
Strictness and discipline are the fundamental principles that guide a football player in training with young students.
Business
Sergey Semak is a football player and a successful businessman. Over the years of his football career, he was able to open his own business, the Limo Club Club Limo Rental Company. The idea to create a company began to be implemented by 2007. It was during this period that the famous football player began to buy up limousines. Initially, it was planned that the company would belong to the first wife of Semak - Svetlana Demidova. But after the divorce in 2007, Svetlana became only a representative of the interests of the ex-spouse in the automotive business.
Today, the captain of the Russian national football team is the president of Limo Club. His company provides rental cars for special occasions and events.
Sergey Semak: about football
The coach of the famous football club was the titled Russian football player - Sergei Semak. Zenit signed a contract for 3 years with the Russian champion.
But in recent years, the Zenit team has not pleased fans with their victories. Semak explains this by the appearance of new players in the team, the change in game tactics and the difficulties of “lapping” players to each other.
Sergei admits that Zenit youth is not easy to play. And although the professional level of the players is high, young players can not stand the competition. The coach believes that young players should train more with the masters of sports and become mentally tempered.
Sergei argues that in the team, as in the family, you need to adhere to strict discipline. Players must have good self-control, hard work and determination. But the football player emphasizes that today's youth does not have the willpower, patriotism that would motivate them to succeed. Therefore, probably, the young players do not live up to the expectations of the coach.
