“I was so glad to get my first boots that for a few days I didn't take them off. I wore them to school, to visit people, and simply to walk on the street.”

“Dzagoev plays football not for fame and money, but because, football is his life. It is rare today that a victory is more important for a player, then the prize-money for it. But Alan - is exactly that case.”

“CSKA is one big family. Honestly, I'm very lucky being in that club.”

“Dzagoev doesn't like pathos, and that's a very positive thing.”
