On the eve of the charity match, Yevgeny Seleznev spoke about his unsuccessful period playing for Minaj.
The former striker of the national team did not want to specifically name the reason for the failure, but he did not find a common language with the head coach of the club Vasily Kobin, Igor Leonov and Vladimir Sharan.
“I saw something wrong. I have a very friendly relationship with President and Vice President Minaya, but they have a vision that I don’t understand…
Do not agree? No, there is another reason. These people are not worth talking about. Time must pass and then I will tell you what is happening in football and about the coach’s attitude to the players. I don’t want to think about it, I feel ashamed,” Seleznev told the Sportarena YouTube channel.
