Athletistic / Football. Former defender of the USSR national team Alexander Bubnov shared his impressions of the friendly match between Russia and Cuba. The match, which took place on November 20 in Volgograd, ended with a victory for the hosts with a score of 8:0.

“I didn’t even know what Cuba was in football before this match. While preparing for the match, I discovered that the team had participated in the World Cup in 1938 and in 1980, in the Olympic Games in Moscow, she lost to the USSR team. with a devastating score. 43 years have passed since that year, during which the bears can learn to play football. However, some news on the eve of the meeting m made people think that this time there would be a defeat.

The national team comes to us and only buys boots with suitable toes here. Unlike us, he plays in official matches, but here he appears on the field in uniform without a last name. It’s a circus! In this context, it was simply amusing for me to hear opinions that Cuba could overtake us. What nonsense ! Did they confuse Cuba with African teams or what?

Coming back to the game, we can recall here the recent meeting between France and Gibraltar or our victory over San Marino with a score of 9:0. But San Marino had moments in front of our goal, the Cubans had nothing at all. I think even Gibraltar would beat such a Cuba. The first goal was only scored in the 22nd minute! There were already chances to score 10 times. Kuzyaev missed the opportunity, Golovin. They could not distinguish themselves from the goalkeeper’s box, they hit the sparrows.

The Cubans were already tired before the first goal, but in the second half they simply got back up. There are not eight, but 28 goals to score. There is no one to stand out among our players, and even more so in the opposing lineup. The Russian team beat the Cuban circus tent. I want to laugh, and not through tears, but because it’s just funny,” Bubnov quotes Sportbox.
