Former football player of Spartak and the Russian national team Alexander Mostovoy believes that it is not necessary to pay attention to his words about coach Nikolai Pisarev.

Earlier, a moment in which Mostovoy called Pisarev a “swindler” was broadcast on the broadcast of the Medialeague match, talking about his tenure as Khimki coach. The video of the episode went viral on social media. Later, Pisarev, when asked by journalists about these words of Mostovoy, swore obscenely at the ex-football player.

— The words of Nikolai Pisarev? Well, you know how many barbs we had.

Where was Pisarev six months ago? None of the journalists spoke about him. Why did no one ask about our name-calling with him? And now Pisarev has become some kind of fifth coach, and everyone began to ask.

Why do I consider Pisarev a swindler? I don’t see him like that. Just such an expression. This is an absolutely normal word for everyone. It’s forbidden, isn’t it?

It’s all about sports moments. When a person from nowhere comes to one team, he is removed, and he goes to the second, third. Many are not called for ten years, and someone changes three teams in two months.

Nikolai and I are in a normal relationship. For forty years we have had so many different conflicts that you can put them all on a bus. Why pay attention to this? Mostovoy told Sport24.

INFANTINO: “If there was no FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world”

FIFA President Gianni Infantino He commented on World Cup ticket prices, saying they reflected “absolutely insane” demand for next summer’s tournament:

“We have six to seven million tickets and in 15 days we received 150 million ticket requests. So every day we have 10 million requests. This shows how strong the World Cup is.”

FIFA has sold just 44 million tickets in almost 100 years of the World Cup. So we were able to sell tickets for the 300th anniversary of the World Cup in two weeks. Just imagine. “This is absolutely crazy.”

Infantino also noted that funds from ticket sales would be reinvested into world football, but did not specify a specific amount:

“The important thing is that the revenue from this goes back into football around the world. If it weren’t for FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world. Football exists thanks to the revenues we get from the World Cup, and we reinvest that into football around the world.”

Previously, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on FIFA to further reduce 2026 World Cup ticket prices.
