“Dali the elk” – Pesyakov about the collision with Meleshin in the match of the RPL Winter Cup

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.
