On Monday, during the All-Russian Spartakiad of Summer Sports among the strongest athletes of 2022, the men’s basketball tournament begins.
– On paper, the MBA stands out clearly, which in fact represents the entire Moscow team. On the other hand, it is a good test for the other regions. Go prove it. We now have plenty of examples where lower tier teams beat higher class opponents. In the Russian Football Cup, amateurs beat professionals. Why not? Its good.
Do you track the success of the blogging teams?
– I’m not on purpose, but it happens in the news. Or how Manchester United lose in a seedy stadium. And football blogging… I’m very good at any kind of sport when people like to do it. I only feel bad when they hype up sports-near land, trying to get more views. And when they put on a show outside of sport without crossing the line, it maintains integrity, sport remains sport, while attracting a wider audience,” Kirilenko told a correspondent.
Amateur teams Amkal and 2DROTS qualified for the second round of the Russian Football Cup, beating Zorkiy and Chertanovo respectively.
