Russian figure skater Daniel Samsonov named attacker Fyodor Chalova current Moscow team’s favorite footballer CSKA.
– Favorite CSKA player?
– There was Sasha Golovin, when he was still playing at CSKA, now I continue to support him. And if we talk about the current line-up, then it’s Fedya Chalov,” Sport24 Samsonov quotes.
– I saw you talking with the players of the Russian national team. How was it ?
– Each of our summer training camps takes place in Novogorsk, we often meet the Russian team there. This year, CSKA football, of which I am a fan, organized training camps there. It lasted quite a long time, almost a month that they were there.
If we talk about the meeting with the Russian national team, it was 3-4 years ago. We just approached, we took pictures, for us it was the first time we saw each other with such popular personalities. Then we weren’t so famous yet, it seemed to us that the players were real stars.
This year in Novogorsk, I had the chance to meet CSKA players. Even before training camp, I knew the team would be at the base, so I told my parents to prepare photos for autographs (laughs). As a result, I picked them up from almost every player. Was very happy to talk with the guys. Fedya Chalov even remembered the photo we took with him in 2018. He asked me: “Did you take a photo with me even before the World Cup? I say yes”. Cool emotions, which I will remember later.
Samsonov is a double Russian junior champion, winner of the junior stage of the Grand Prix series.
