– Мы не вышли в финал, а игру за третье место против ГДР назначили на десять утра. Тренер Пономарев сказал: «Что-то не хочется с ними бодаться. Как бы нам вничью сыграть». Ничья означала бронзовые медали для обеих команд. Используя свой немецкий, выученный в институте, я подошел перед игрой к доктору сборной ГДР. «Как ты смотришь на то, чтобы медали получили и вы, и мы?» – «Положительно», – и пошел к тренеру. Тот повернулся ко мне и показал большой палец: вопрос решен. Мы забили друг другу по два мяча, но на второй тайм вышел динамовец Андрей Якубик, который, ни о чем не подозревая, ворвался в штрафную и чуть не сделал счет 3:2. Слава богу, не попал, а то немцы бы нас уничтожили.
