Offensive “Torpedo” Igor Lebedenko on the air of the program “8-16” on MATCH PREMIER commented on the fact that he became the oldest scorer in the history of the Russian championships.
Lebedenko on Sunday at the age of 39 years and 282 days in the WORLD RPL Round 18 match against Krasnodar (2-2) scored a goal in the 78th minute of the match. Previously, the record belonged to Sergei Natalushko, who in 2000, at the age of 39 years and 246 days, playing for Saturn, knocked on the doors of Lokomotiv.
– What can you remember from Alexander Grigoryan (the coach became a member of the 8-16 program – about “”)?
– Great trainer. It’s a shame they didn’t work very well together. Let’s hope our paths will cross again.
On television or where?
– Everywhere. It can be on television, it can be in football. I’m not going to finish yet. Therefore, we may meet somewhere on the football fields.
– How did the team react to the result of the game against Krasnodar?
– After five defeats and zero goals scored, this draw will certainly give us confidence for the next matches. We have no choice but to win every game and wait for competitors’ mistakes. Only then can we get out of a difficult situation.
– How do you react to Talalaev’s workload?
– I sleep a little, but there are people who pick up. In fact, these are not the most difficult camps I have had in my life. They are heavy but bearable. And even a person almost 40 years old can train, endure, work and add. Normally we work, we move.
– Igor, did you want to go to Tambov in Grigoryan four years ago?
– Yes. We communicated and were close to cooperation, but something went wrong.
– Did you know that your next goal could be a record?
– I learned about it quite recently, in 2022. Yes – a record, yes – nice, but these are not the records I dreamed of in my youth. But still, it’s nice.
– How can Torpedo score points? How has the team evolved this winter?
– For the conclusions of a game is not enough yet. Let’s see what happens in 3-4 games. We are going to work and improve our game, we are going to dance to it.
– How smart are the club’s newcomers?
“We’ve seen them before in Krasnodar. One scored a goal, the second gave an assist. They have already made a contribution. Hopefully they will develop their own success and the success of the team,” Lebedenko said on MATCH PREMIER.
