Krasnodar striker Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov explained the details of the incident with the fight that broke out during his performance in the Israeli championship. Words lead the way “Rating bookmakers”.
“If you’ve seen that match, you know they hit me first – with a punch to the back of my head. I got a response. What was I supposed to do? If you get shot, will you stand up?
If they hit me, I will respond. I’ve never hit a man before. Responding when shot is a natural reaction. I grew up in Dagestan, that’s how it’s done there. If you know Dagestan,” said Suleimanov.
Suleimanov was suspended 10 games for fighting in the match with Maccabi Haifa. The Russian player slapped the rival midfielder Dolev Khaziz.
After the expiration of the lease in the summer of 2023, the striker returned to Krasnodar. In the three starting rounds, Suleymanov did not appear on the field in Russian Premier League (RPL) matches. He played one match in the Country Cup without scoring. Krasnodar is the leader of the championship together with Spartak.
