Moscow Spartak football player Nikita Chernov made an inappropriate gesture by mentioning the red and white team. He criticized Alexander Medvedev, chairman of the board of directors of St. Petersburg Zenit. He shared his opinion with him “Championship”.
“I think both players and journalists saw the video with Medvedev and Claudinho. Zenit realized their mistake and immediately deleted the video. There is no need to publish such videos, especially since such a person shows inappropriate actions. Ugly.
The important thing is that it doesn’t come back to haunt you later. When I watched the video, I had mixed feelings. What can I wish for? The man wanted it and showed it. Maybe we’ll watch it again with Zenit before the match to increase our motivation. Although it wasn’t particularly needed before the game against Zenit,” Chernov said.
On January 15, Zenit press service published a video on its YouTube channel from the first day of the team’s training camp in the UAE. Medvedev greeted each team player and showed an obscene gesture during the dialogue with Claudinho. He also explained with his words that this gesture was a reference to Spartak. The video was later removed from the club’s YouTube channel.
The teams will face each other in the 19th round of the Russian Premier League (RPL). The meeting will take place in early March.
After 18 rounds in the national championship, Sergei Semak’s team took second place in the standings, having collected 36 points. The difference with the leader Krasnodar is two points. Spartak ranked fifth by collecting 30 points.
