The captain of the Russian national team and Arsenal midfielder, Andrei Arshavin, has appeared on the pages of a pupil’s chemistry textbook by accident, the Komsomolskaya Pravda tabloid newspaper has reported.
The famous footballer served as an example to study the chemical elements of a human organism. Andrei Arshavin was pictured on the background of a bright diagram in the uniform of his former team Zenit, St. Petersburg.
It is interesting that oxygen was found in the greatest amount in the footballer’s organism – 62.4 %. It is followed by carbon – 20.7 %, hydrogen – 9.9 %, nitrogen – 5 %, as well as well some iron, zinc, manganese, boron and fluorine.
An editor of the Drofa publishing group, Anna Yshukova, said: “I am not a specialist in football. But I can assure you that we did not choose his person especially for the textbooks. This is just a coincidence. We just took a person to illustrate the diagram.”
