In a recent conversation with socialbites.ca, Shamil Kurbanov, one of the coaches for the Media Football League (MFL) team, underscored the significance of the upcoming clash with a First League club. He emphasized that the match matters deeply for the media football community as a whole and expressed the team’s clear aim to prevail. This sentiment reflects the fans’ enduring passion and the broader appeal of professional football, where progress on the field reverberates through the sport’s fanbase.
“No matter the circumstance, this game represents more than a simple win or loss; it is a test of character for the sport itself. I want to win, and I believe victory matters, not merely at any cost, but as a testament to our level of play”, Kurbanov stated. He noted that media football has moved into the orbit of professional football and, at times, captures the attention of viewers who may not strictly follow the MFL. The goal, he added, is to demonstrate that media football can compete at a high level and earn respect from a wider audience. This approach aligns with the broader mission to showcase the discipline, tactics, and dedication that define the game in today’s competitive environment, while keeping the sport accessible to all fans .
Under the guidance of a seasoned expert, Moscow Titan emerged as the champion in the fourth season of the Media Football League. This success paved the way for Kurbanov to take on the role of coach for the MFL team, alongside Igor Zvezdin, one of the season’s other finalists. The upcoming match, led by Vitaly Kaleshin, was slated for December 1 at Anzhi Arena in Makhachkala, promising a high-stakes clash that could affirm the MFL’s growing stability and competitiveness in the broader football landscape .
