Arshavin is different.

Andrey Arshavin appeared to have a scholarly appearance, looking quite simple and friendly at a casual party with friends.

Arshavin looks like a scholar in this picture.

The image of Arshavin calmly raising a large glass of beer is surprising. At 44, the former Russian international still possesses a very youthful face. Not many people recognize him as the talented player who once dominated the Euro 2008 finals, and who also had many bad habits.

Arshavin retired in 2018, but remained involved in football by taking on an administrative role at Zenit from 2019. He was then appointed Director of Sporting Development, before becoming a member of the club's executive board in the summer of 2023.

During his playing career, Arshavin was considered a natural talent in Russian football. However, he was never able to reach the top due to laziness and a lack of determination.

Fans remember Arshavin most for his time at Arsenal from 2008-2013. In the 2008/09 season, the former Russian midfielder had a "magical" performance against Liverpool in April 2009, a match in which he scored four goals.

At the Euro 2008 finals, the Russian team reached the semi-finals, and Arshavin played very well. After the tournament, Arshavin became a transfer target for a number of big clubs.

Arsenal won the race when they agreed to pay Zenit £15 million for Arshavin. In the second half of the 2008/09 season, Arshavin played 12 games and scored 6 goals in the Premier League, helping Arsenal finish in 4th place.
