Dear Javier,

On behave of the coaches and players of Russia's National Futsal Team and Spartak Futsal Club, I would like to send you our best wishes on your birthday.

I wish you good health, family life happiness and luck in very complicated coaching career.

Russia and Spain have been serious rivals for many years, moving forward together in the continental futsal world, and hoping to see both teams in the finals of Euro-2003 in February in Italy.

Russia's Futsal National and
Spartak Futsal Club team Head Coach
