Sasha Paradeevich

Sasha Paradeev is the captain of the football team. After each practice, he stays on the field longer than everyone else, practicing shots and analyzing mistakes. He's the last one to go home. Lyosha Derevyashkin is a player on the same team. They clash constantly. Paradeyev picks on him for literally every little thing, and Koresh never misses an opportunity to snap back. After another argument, Paradeev leaves Lyosha for an extra workout. When they finally finish and return to the locker room, it turns out the entire sports complex has been closed, and they've been accidentally locked inside.

Alexander Paradeev is rude but reasonable, helps his teammates with their playing technique and is ready to listen if they are having a hard time. Sasha likes to pick on Lesha because of his reaction. Alexey Derevyashkin, the team's "clown" in a good way, is a cheerleader and a supportive companion, but when alone, he's a completely different person—withdrawn, detached, and silent. He often has mood swings, easily succumbs to apathy, and hates Sasha to the point of being so perfect.
