On Sunday, the “Football Stars” team, with Arshavin in its squad, defeated the “Skiing Stars” team with a score of 7:6 in a charity football match that took place on Sunday in the Moscow region . The “Stars on Skis” team included Alexander Legkov, Alexander Loginov, Anton Babikov, Eduard Latypov, Alexander Bakurov, Savely Korostelev, Sergey Volkov, Evgeny Uftikov, Victor Golovin, Ivan Zhilinsky, Dmitry Shukalovich.
— Have any skiers and biathletes surprised you?
– Well, they run in a straight line, 3 people are fast. We love biathlon, we always watched and followed our guys, skiing is just more boring, they just run. I remember watching Prokurorov and Smirnov. I liked him better before. I don’t like it when they start from a common starting point. I know the name Bolshunova otherwise I wouldn’t have discovered it in person.
— Did you recognize anyone among those you played with today?
– Well, only Legkova. I told him: “You have biathletes or skiers, you won’t understand, you can put on anyone, and you still won’t recognize anyone.”
— Are you very tired of the game?
– No, I’m not tired. The tear, in my opinion, was avoided,” Arshavin told .
