— You follow football and play yourself. Who are you rooting for?

— Is it difficult to support Spartak?
– This is really a difficult question. This is probably why it is interesting to support this team.
– Who is your favorite player?
—Anton Zinkovski. In general, I would like to meet the Spartak guys somewhere, take a photo and chat.
— Do you dream of taking a photo with someone?
—There is an interesting story related to this. My favorite player is Lionel Messi, and when Russia played Argentina in Luzhniki, I was present at the match, sitting almost pitchside. I took a selfie with Messi taking the corner behind me. There was a distance of 15 meters between us. I thought about running onto the field, but I held back,” Kunitsa told .
