Rostov goalkeeper Sergei Pesyakov spoke about the collision with Spartak Moscow striker Pavel Meleshin in the match of the pre-season tournament Winline Winter RPL Cup.

Rostov on Thursday lost to Spartak on penalties in the opening match of the tournament. Regular time ended with a score of 0:0, in a series of 11-meter kicks, the Red-Whites were stronger – 2:1. Selikhov parried three blows in the series.

– There is an expression in the football world “they gave an elk.” Only it, as a rule, is given to the outer part of the thigh, but I was given to the inner. I think nothing serious, just a bruise, but unpleasant.

There was an inaccurate pass from the defender. The situation was 50 to 50, both were active – both the striker and the goalkeeper. It turned out how it happened.

I forgot about the penalty, to be honest. I also thought about whether it was necessary to change, they told me that it was necessary, but I seemed to feel fine, there were no such thoughts. In general, I played a normal series, rather, I need to work on the blows.

He told Sasha (Selikhov) that he was a legend, praised him, nothing special. Maybe he’ll get a tattoo after the game, ”Match TV quotes Pesyakov as saying.
