Today is a historic day for Kazakhstan, for the first time our Almaty team “Kairat” hosts the legendary “Real Madrid.” This team is recognized by FIF as the best in the 20th century. Among our employees there are not only fans, but also active athletes, there are their own football and volleyball teams, the day before, the head of the neurosurgery department, Marat Sarshaev, ran his next marathon. He has been actively running for five years, thus keeping himself in good shape and resting from hard work. This year, a record number of people took part in it – 16 thousand, a record 1360 foreigners also arrived.
– For me, as a neurosurgeon, running is meditation and recovery after hard work, sometimes we stand on operations for several hours and it is important to be in good sports form. It is doubly pleasant to run with like-minded people, residents of our country and the whole world.
But the historical match, like many doctors, did not get, because there were thousands of times more people than the stadium could accommodate. But Marat Sarshaev will root for beautiful football on TV.
– Football is useful not only to play, as it trains all muscle groups, improves endurance, self-esteem, discipline, leadership qualities, but it is also important to root for your favorite teams. The emotions that we experience develop social connections, a sense of community, team, love for our country, relieves stress thanks to the production of endorphins. And most importantly, football motivates many to play sports, you look at how many teenagers after such matches go to the section or just chase the ball in the yard, isn’t that great.
