Evgeny Kaleshin, former head coach of Akron Tolyatti, laughed at the fact that Gerard Pique was trying to copy the Russian Media League. His words are quoted “Bookmaker rating”.
“I think Europe will crawl towards Russia. It will be very difficult for them without our country and market. We have a very big market, many players and thoughtful coaches. We might find something they wouldn’t think of. I watched the Spanish media league; This is a funny parody of us! What Pique did was to make people laugh, he is not even close to the Russian media league,” Kaleshin said.
Kaleshin was fired from his position as coach of Akron after making loud statements about Russian football. His team lost to Volgar with a score of 0:1. The expert accused the referee of incorrectly counting the goal. Kaleşin also touched upon the need to break the Russian football system from within and pointed out that this sport was being deliberately destroyed.
In the spring of 2022, the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) decided to suspend the participation of the Russian national team and all Russian clubs in all competitions controlled by these organizations. Since then the Russians have only played friendly matches.
Previously at RFU accused UEFA has double standards.
