The St. Petersburg Dispatch

Sunday Profile: Frustrated Nicholas

Midfielder Evanov Nicholas is seething. He's angry at referees. He's angry at the local toughs that broke into his car and stole his brand new CD player ("how will I listen to wonderful misogynist American rap now?"). He's angry that St. Pete's boys has failed to win the respect of Russian football's elite and talking heads. Most of all, he's angry that he has to sit out a month, and that he couldn't be on the pitch for St. Pete's humiliation of Lokomotiv.

"This hamstring injury is the last thing I need. I finally get back to my normal level, scoring two goals and getting rated a 10 against Sokol. I should be playing like that all the time. But now I am injured, and I can do nothing."

Most of all, Nicholas seems upset that his injured hamstring has limited his social opportunities. "How can I go to nightclubs in a wheelchair and expect to bring a girl home?"
