About
Erik was born in the small town of Velikiy Berezny, and his dream in ten years is play professional football (soccer).
Erik has been a part of FC Minaj for four years. He currently plays the central striker position and can also play left back. He thinks Ivan Vovkunovich is the most serious player on the team and Yaroslav Karaman is the funniest.
A few of his favorite things include the following: breakfast pancakes or porridge in the morning, the
"Avengers: Infinity War" movie, Captain America superhero, the soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo, and the Real Madrid soccer team.
Erik lives with his parents, Viktoria and Yaroslav, and younger sister, Victoria.
