— Do you know Ruslan Nigmatullin?
– Yes. I say hello to Ruslan Karimovich.
— Do you want to become a DJ in the future (like him)?
– Don’t think. I will go in a different direction.
— What was your reference among the Russian guards?
— I looked at all the goalkeepers of that era: Nigmatullin, Ovchinnikov, Akinfeev.
— The 3 best goalkeepers in the world?
– Courtois, Mignan and Ter Stegen. Donnarumma too.
The goal is to be called up to the national team. I am happy. When I joined the team, I set a new goal for myself.
— How do you like the Legionnaire guys?
– Good guys. I know Sasha Golovin, we are CSKA students. I ask him a few questions. I wonder how things are going for him in France, he plays well there.

– Lots of these. There were good guys in Amkar, they kept clean sheets in many matches, now at PARI NN, at Arsenal Tula,” reports correspondent Nigmatullin’s words.
