Another football scourge has fallen on Ukraine's head
The head coach of the Ukrainian national football team and the legend of Ukrainian football, Andrei Shevchenko, helped Russian football players with advice before the match with the Saudi Arabian national team, which the Russian team won with a score of 5:0 in the group stage of the 2018 World Cup.
About this in an interview “Sport Express” said the head coach of the Russian national football team Stanislav Cherchesov.
“I would like to thank Andrey Shevchenko, who helped us with advice. The Ukrainian national team played a friendly match with Saudi Arabia, we then called each other, and he told me some of the nuances of the actions of the Arabians, which were very useful to us in preparing for the match,” said the Russian coach.
This news caused indignation among some Ukrainian users, who in their comments accused the Russian side of wanting to spoil Ukraine in this way.
However, Cherchesov spoke about his conversation with Shevchenko after the March match of the Ukrainian national team with the Arabians in the “After Football” program.
“We are preparing for Saudi Arabia. My friends watched the matches of this team. Half an hour ago I spoke with Andrey Shevchenko, who had just played with them. He shared his opinion and said a lot of interesting things,” said then Cherchesov.
It is worth noting that after the draw for the 2018 World Cup, Cherchesov and Shevchenko met in London.
“As a child, Andrei served balls to Stas at the Republican Stadium in Kyiv when Spartak came to visit Dynamo. He stood outside his gate. Another amazing thing is that both still remember that match! Football people, they quickly found a common language,” football agent Sandor Varga told a correspondent "Championship".
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported, the famous Dynamo Kyiv football player and ex-head of the Football Federation of Ukraine Anatoly Konkov stated that he was sick and would continue to be sick for the Russian national team.
In addition, Ukrainian journalists accused the Shevchenko team of “is in captivity of the Russian world.”
