According to Mehr reporter, the loss of the Russian Zenit football team in the friendly match against Iran’s Sepahan, which was held yesterday, has caused various reactions in Russia.
“Alexander Tikhonov”, a former and proud sports champion in the Soviet Union, severely criticized this loss, compared Russian football to a “circus” and said: “I swear, if it were up to me, I would shut down Russian football and kick everyone out!”
He also criticized the decline of Russian football at the international level and also said that Russian football was lucky that it was suspended, otherwise it would not have anything to say in Europe!
However, Dmitri Radchenko, a former Zenit player, had a different point of view. He said: I think we will see a different Zenith in the Russian Super Cup game.
