'Drunk English CAN'T fight' Inside Russia's most brutal firm TRAINING for Three Lions

LIFE inside one of Moscow’s hardest hooligan firms can exclusively be revealed by Daily Star Online.

Yuri Kletnov, co-founder of the Spartak Moscow-supporting Aliens hooligan firm, described the gang as an “elite private club” where brutes hone their bodies to make them the perfect fighters.

He said: “Back in the old days hooligans fights were spontaneous and showing off some technique was not necessary.

"Today physical condition and martial technique in hooligans fights makes a great impact on the outcome of the fight, because nearly all fights are arranged out in the woods – because of the problems with police – and is accepted by both parties.

The hooligan has helped arrange mass brawls between rival firms that are filmed and uploaded to YouTube channel KOstudio.

He said: “I created the channel only for the purpose of monetisation. All the fights you see on my channel are not arranged for filming.

"They usually film fights to make out opponent tactics, to find out who lost courage and who pissed his pants.”

At first Russian firms looked to England as the perfect harden, but later forged their own cut-throat image after branding Brits “drunks”.

Yuri added: “Hooligans from England were an example for us in the 90s. We tried to look like them, copied their manners and mode of dress.

"But after several ‘meetings’ we considered them to be drunks who really don’t know how to fight. Our style is to come face-to-face with our enemy.”

Yuri then warned England fans they would be seen as fit targets by some of the most ruthless gangs at next year’s World Cup.

He said: “I suppose it will be some kind of hell for foreigners visiting Russia. Common Russians are rather rugged people, like your chavs.

"They are not interested in football games, but they indulge in cleaning somebody’s clock. I suppose there will be both arranged and surprise fights.”

But, shockingly, Yuri added that once the bloodied hooligans return home they swap their tracksuits for shirts and suits.

He said it wasn’t unusual for brawlers to work as lawyers, office managers and tech specialists.

Hooligan expert Geoff Pearson, lecturer of law at Manchester University previously told Daily Star Online that Russian brawlers were keen to let off steam and became hooligans to show off their fighting prowess.

He said: “For Eastern European hooligans, like those in Russia and Poland, fighting – rather than drinking – is a critical part of the culture.

"It is very important for them to show off their mixed martial arts skills and what time down the gym has done for their strength rather than vodka.”
