It turned out to be a well-known blogger.
At the World Cup in Qatar in the match between Argentina and the Netherlands, a fan ran onto the field. A man with a naked torso, on which was written “Vitaly KOZEL”, broke into the field in the second half. He managed to detain only five stewards.
The fan turned out to be a native of Murmansk, also a well-known blogger Vitaly Zdorovetsky. Previously, he was already involved in similar promotions – he ran onto the field in the final World Cup 2014 between Germany and Argentina, and also became an accomplice in the action in the Champions League final in 2019, when his ex-girlfriend Kinsey Wolanski burst onto the field.
Who is he?
Zdorovetsky was born in Murmansk, moved to Odessa, and then to the USA. There he became widely known as a prankster – he launched the VitalyzdTv YouTube channel, which now has 10 million subscribers. Vitaliy from representatives of various draws and posted verified people on their channel. For example, he walked in the costume of the head of a horror movie and scared the inhabitants of poor areas, and he also made a mistake when he accidentally climbed Hollywood.
Already in January 2020, he conquered a new goal – he climbed a pyramid in Egypt, from where Kinsey’s girlfriend took him off. The blogger did not go unpunished – he fell into secret and spoke about the time spent there on social networks.
“There are no words to describe what I have been through in the last five days. I have seen such things, and no one wants horror.Vitaly shared.
Zdorovetsky was recalled, but after a couple of months he got into a new scandal – he was arrested in the USA for beating a girl. The blogger attacked a stranger in Miami Beach when she was jogging. Vitaly crept up to her, knocked her to the ground and struck several blows in the chest area, but then disappeared.
The police found him in the nearest house – Zdorovetsky faces a criminal penalty, but he got off with a fine of 7.5 thousand dollars. Later, Vitaly was repeatedly accused of sexist and racist statements.
What did he want and what happened to him?
The inscription “Goat Vitaly” on Zdorovetsky’s naked torso translates as “Vitaly is pleasant for all times.” Most likely, a blogger’s breakthrough due to his desire to become more attentive and increase his audience in social networks. It is by this nickname (@vitalythegoat) that he can be found on the Internet.
By the way, after the game, he posted a photo and video of a breakthrough on the field on social networks, accompanying the signature: “I think I’m better at fighting than running (laughs)”.
“A comeback is always more than a failure! 😈 I just got to the World Cup and broke my leg! 😂”— Vitaliy wrote under another post after the match.
It is also curious what punishment awaits him in Qatar. Usually in such cases, fans are issued an individual fine, as well as a ban on visiting stadiums. But in an Arab country, an insolent blogger can be dealt with much more strictly. It is possible that Zdorovetsky will be sent into error for a couple of days for a breakthrough at the stadium with a naked torso.
