CSKA midfielder Zdelar: ‘I would be happy if I became team captain after Akinfeev’

And I don’t want to talk about it now, but overall, no. For someone, probably, he did it, for us, for our team, no. We suffer a lot.

We suffer a lot every year. Then Chalov with Krasnodar, I can’t remember what year, 2019 was, the last games, figuratively speaking there. Game with “Rostov” – I think it’s a clean penalty. When they begin to explain to us that it is not the case in dynamics, it is not that, it is not that, but with the “Torch” like that, that and that. A man stabbed himself, the ball flew into the top nine, I didn’t beat him and Medina hit his leg,” Akinfeev said on YouTube channel “Comments. View”.
