Guest av1 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Anzhi youth team player shot dead http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30671974 Gasan Magomedov, a 20-year-old footballer for Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala, has been shot dead near his home in Russia's North Caucasus. Magomedov was driving on Saturday when his car was hit with machine-gun fire and he died from his wounds while being transported to hospital, Anzhi said. No arrests have been made and the motive is unclear, the club added. Anzhi sent "deepest condolences" to the family of Magomedov, a midfielder in the club's youth and reserve teams. There were no reports of any other casualties. Anzhi chief executive Sergey Korablev said: "We grieve together with everyone who was dear to Gasan. "I hope the police quickly find the killers and they suffer just punishment." The region of Dagestan, where the attack took place and where Anzhi Makhachkala are based, has become the focus of Islamist militant activity in the North Caucasus. Gun battles between rebels and Russian security forces are not uncommon. Anzhi challenged for the Russian Premier League title in recent years, but were relegated to the second tier last season after billionaire owner Suleyman Kerimov withdrew his financial backing. For several years the club had a policy of basing star players - among them former Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o - in Moscow to avoid Dagestan's security risks.

villa4europe Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 i always believed a little bit of the theory that anzhi had something incredibly dodgy about their ownership and where the money being spent came from because it was an attempt to bring a little bit of stability to an area than in 10-15 will be quite happily at a proper war for independence IIRC 2 people were killed outside the ground on eto'o's debut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
