Sporting director: ‘I think Umyarov himself isn’t happy about how he knocked down Fomin before the penalty’

Sports director and head of the agency Alexander Manyakov in an interview with told how a client of his sports agency, a football player in Moscow “Dynamo” Daniil Fomine survives a missed penalty in the Russian Cup final.

Dynamo on May 29 in Luzhniki lost against Moscow “Spartacus” in the final of the Russian Cup – 1:2. The Red-Whites scored Alexander Sobolev and Quincy Promes for the “white-blue” – Arsen Zakharyan . In the final seconds, Fomin didn’t convert from a penalty, breaking over the gate.

– Someone who, but Fomin, did not deserve such a twist of fate. How much he dragged the club, he was the clear leader in any situation. In my opinion, today Dynamo’s image is only Danya. Unfortunately, all series have an end. It’s a shame that it ended with such an important match,” Manyakov said.

Did you talk to him afterwards? How is he?

— After the match, I wrote a message of support. He said we love him, appreciate him no matter what. I tried not to shoot him, I know he’s a strong guy, he’ll jump to conclusions and get even stronger. I’m sure and certain.

– After the final, Nail Umyarov told on Telegram how he knocked down Fomin before hitting. What do you think about it?

– It is said that in war all means are good, but, probably, some noble actions go down in the annals of history. I tend to stick to the latter in my lifestyle. Either way, you should be a noble person and stay within the bounds of decency. He did it and did it, the press picked it up, inflated it. What to do?

As far as I know, he then contacted Danya, they talked. I think Umyarov himself is not happy that he said this and it was taken up.

– Can you imagine the reverse situation: Fomin also knocks down someone before a penalty?

– No I can not.
