The charm of this video sneaks up on you like sleepiness on a rainy day. At first, you accept it as charming more out of expectation than anything else, and by the time you reach the end of the video you have become a bleeding romantic.
We are going to go ahead and guess that Ivan Novosoltsev believes in momentum, and not the law of physics, the law of soccer and life. At the very least he was hoping one good thing would lead to another when he decided to propose to his girlfriend, Katerina Keyru, after his FC Rostov side defeated Torpedo Moscow.
Ms. Keyru (or should we call her Mrs. Novosoltsev?) is a professional athlete herself, by the way. She plays basketball for WBC Dynamo Moscow. Which means that there is a very good chance one of their offspring will become a ridiculous athlete in their own right. An athlete born of a marriage seeded on a soccer field? Someone call Hollywood. We’ve got a movie on our hands.
