former defender “Spartacus” And Lokomotiv Roman Shishkin told RB Sport that during a retro game “Zenith” and the Russian League of Legends team Stavok League will be of sporting interest, although such matches are organized to popularize football, not to fight.
– Even though I was not at the Euros in 2008 due to injury and surgery, the RFU invited me because I took part in the qualifying matches. And without the injury, maybe I would have gone to the last game. As for the game ahead, I wouldn’t say anyone is just going to serve a number on the pitch and play for their own enjoyment. Sporting interest will also be present. In these veteran matches that have already taken place, we saw the level of martial arts, and the rhythm sometimes increased so that it could be compared to the RPL. So there will be no “marching”, although, of course, such matches are not organized for the result and some kind of “zab”, but rather to popularize football.
Former stars are not forgotten, fans of the current generation and the past come together for such matches. Many may associate their youth with veterans. So the story is very good, congratulations to the RFU for making such matches. In our difficult period, they come a lot, – said Shishkin.
The match will take place on June 15 in St. Petersburg. The meeting will be held as part of the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) sports program and will coincide with the 15th anniversary of Les Bleus-Blancs-Bleus’ UEFA Cup victory and bronze medals. national team at Euro 2008.
The start of the League of Stavok League of Legends match is at 20:00 (Moscow time). The live broadcast will start at 7:30 p.m. (Moscow time) on the federal channel, matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites. Gazprom-Media Holding is the general media partner of SPIEF-2023.
