Athletistic/Football. Former CSKA footballer Valery Masalitin did not agree with the criticism directed at the Russian team after the defeat of the Cuban national team in a friendly match.

“If the team had played badly, it would have been negative. The team won – always negative. Let’s start with the fact that any team must be beaten. Today there is Cuba, they scored eight – good. There were excellent speeds, incredible motivation.

It was simply wonderful to observe the talent of Golovin and Kuzyaev. They infected the entire team with their energy. Let Cuba solve its problems and we solve ours. We saw that the national team is capable of showing modern football,” Masalitin said at the Championship.
