CSKA’s Paraguayan football player Jesus Medina, in the 20th round match of the Russian Premier League (RPL), the army team’s St. Petersburg commented on the victory over the “Zenith”.
The match was held in Moscow on March 19 and ended with the victory of the army team with a score of 1:0. Fedor Chalov scored the only goal of the match in the middle of the second half.
“CSKA hasn’t beaten Zenit since 2018, it’s incredible. We all thought about it before the match. The most important thing we managed to win is that we are happy. I think we deserved this win with our game.
I feel good, I continue to work. Everyone will go to the national team now. It will be an opportunity to be in the national team, to enjoy the moment of meeting with family and fans.
The loss of Zenit is good news for us and for all who are fighting for the first place in the championship. So let Zenit always lose (laughs)”, quoted by Medina Metaratings.ru.
The footballer also reacted to the fact that his teammate Fedor Chalov was not called up to the Russian national team for the friendly matches in March.
“I can’t believe Chalov wasn’t called up for the national team. Why he wasn’t on the roster is a question for the head coach, but he definitely deserved it,” added Medina.
Chalov was included in the expanded list of the Russian national team, but was not included in the final version. Strikers Konstantin Tyukavin, Alexander Sobolev and Nikolay Komlichenko were called up to the training camp of the national team.
The Russian national team gathered in Novogorsk on March 19. The national team will play against Iraq and Iran in this camp.
