Happy Birthday, Aleksei Ionov! The man whose swift moves down the right wing have made defenders dizzy since 2013, and whose goals for Dynamo Moscow are almost as impressive as your endless energy on match day. You've been lighting up Russian football fields with style—and thankfully avoiding any real red-card drama!From becoming a vital member of Russia's national squad back in 2011 to stirring victories and memorable plays ever since, you've proven age only makes you better. May this year see fewer fouls called against you and even more goals celebrated. Keep running hard—just don't forget the cake!
