On Friday, the former defender of Dynamo Leandro Fernandez turns 43 years old.
Leandro came to Russia from Argentina in 2006, being an Olympic champion, and for 8 seasons became an integral part of the defensive formations of our team. His 235 matches in a Dynamo shirt are a record for foreign players in the club's history.
Fernandez not only acted reliably in defense, but also brilliantly played with his head in the opponent's penalty area, as evidenced by his 16 goals. One of them, scored against Zenit in November 2008, provided the team with bronze medals of the Russian championship and the first ever ticket to the Champions League qualification.
