Another exchange of reproaches stirred up a long-term confrontation with renewed vigor.
The conflict between the two legends of Russian football Leonid Slutsky and Alexander Mostovoy continues to gain momentum. The king, known for numerous negative comments about the coach, did not leave his opponent’s recent words without a harsh response. So close to a fight.
The famous Russian football player Alexander Mostovoy has been famous in recent years for sharp comments about everyone whom journalists ask him about. The negative words of the ex-player often give rise to conflict situations.
One of the most striking confrontations between Mostovoy and the eminent Russian coach Leonid Slutsky has been going on for more than seven years. For the first time, their conflict was discussed throughout the country back in 2015.
In the summer of that year, Leonid Viktorovich led the national team and helped her get through to Euro 2016. Under his leadership, the Russian team won four victories in four qualifying matches. But this did not save Slutsky from criticism from Mostovoy. The coach reacted to this with a sarcastic comment.
– I have a clear rule – do not argue with amateurs. Critics like Mostovoy are amateurs in terms of coaching. In the past – outstanding football players, no one disputes their greatness. But coaching is a completely different profession. And I’m not trying to get into picks with amateurs. I’m not interested in them,” the Euro-Futbol.Ru edition quotes Slutsky as saying.
Since then, Mostovoy has become even more angry with the specialist, trying to prick him at every opportunity. The Tsar did not forget to go hard on the figure of the coach after his departure from Rubin Kazan last year.
“I talked about him a long time ago. When he was still in CSKA and the national team combined, I even then said: “What combination can there be? We have more people in football than in any country in the world!” Do you have any other surnames? Crapped in Europe – hushed up. Again appeared somewhere, again removed, again pushed out. I came to Rubin, okay. The team flew out of the RPL – this is the moment when Slutsky had to get up and leave. He didn’t. Didn’t let go? I always say that for some reason such people are always not released. Others are expelled who have been in football all their lives, but these are not, the footballer said in an interview with Vprognoze.ru.
Another round of absentee exchange of reproaches between football figures occurred after the release of Slutsky’s conversation with Denis Kazansky as part of the podcast “Football is not hockey.” When the conversation turned to the coaching capabilities of Mostovoy, Leonid Viktorovich gave a very harsh assessment.
– Someone chooses things when you work, do something or produce something. Someone exploits his own name all his life and tries to assert himself at the expense of it. He chose this path. I am very sorry when the former very famous and really high-quality players turn into freaks and laughingstock with their statements and short-sighted endless actions.
You can stay with nothing. Today it seems to you that you are interesting, they call you, and it seems to be a continuation of fame, but in fact everyone perceives you as a freak. You couldn’t even keep a chic football past. I always feel sorry for these people. Once you were the best, one of the best, and today you are a talking head, and talking nonsense, said Slutsky.
Mostovoy’s response was not long in coming. The former football player responded harshly to the coach to his tirade.
Everyone has known everything about Slutsky for a long time. Let’s be careful with the expressions, because a lot of people might want to throw such expressions at him – he definitely won’t like it. Rather, his appearance fits the definition of a freak. And with his work in recent years, he himself has proved that he is a laughingstock. With this statement, he insults people who have played football and have achieved a lot. Let him try to juggle the ball at least five times and put it in “Plushki”, – quotes the words of Mostovoy “Championship”.
There is no end in sight in this conflict, on the contrary, with each turn of confrontation, the degree of tension between football leaders is getting higher. At this rate, a fight wouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

Donetsk Shakhtar player Egor Nazarina commented on the draw in the Conference League match against Rijeka (0:0).
“We did not see the realization of the moments. There were moments that could have been scored, but unfortunately they were not accelerated by the blessings that they were. I respect you, we spent this match poorly, and the most important are the ones who moved on.”
This was our job, we wanted to complete it in the first century, and we died, so it’s good for you. If they had told us five months ago when the tournament started that we would be in the first week, I think we would have been in good shape straight away. Vikonali ce zavdanya – in ce nagolovnish.
What is the moral and moral aspect after six months of working so hard? Well, a little. Moving steadily while you are old, you know, it is not easy for you. But we won’t complain. We miss playing in the European cups, so there is nothing to complain about. We are happy that we suffer from, you might say, fatigue. When we are released immediately, we are excited and ready for training.
The first half of the season was difficult, but in the end it was positive. We completed our work at the Liza conferences – they passed, we are also in the lead with the championship – we share first place with however many points. I’ll say it again: if we had been told that five months ago, I respect that we would have been fit for those positions, as we did in both the European Cup and the Ukrainian Championship. I think we will continue to add more and in the other half of the season we will show even better results than the first.
I would like to thank the patients for their support in this difficult hour for us. This is the most important thing. Bless them with holy, healthy family well-being, and faith and belief in our victory, in the ZSU. They are the same – without them nothing would have happened. Once again: believe in our victory and have a peaceful sky above your head!

Head coach Noah Sandro Perkovic commented on his team’s defeat against Dynamo (0:2) in the sixth round of the main round of the Conference League.
Our mentor exclaimed in front of his players about the club’s historic achievements:
“First of all, I would like to say a word of thanks to our Gravians and greet the team. For the first time in history, Noa reached the play-offs of the European Cup tournament. This is a great achievement not only for the club, but also for Ukrainian football. We are further collapsing,” Perkovich said.
Speaking of the match itself, the coach welcomed Dynamo to victory and expressed the high level of respect for the opponent:
“The team looked very solid in the beginning, caused a number of unsafe moments, but could not open the door. I said before the match that Dynamo is a great club. In matches with such teams, many mistakes can be made. Today they punished us for this,” said the mentor.
Perkovich emphasized that his team was not surprised by the defeat of the Kiev club:
“Dynamo has not suffered at all. This is a very good team, which clearly plays in defense and has a wide variety of tactical plans. Perhaps we did not realize that the stench is so fragrant from the first days of the century and blessed for the decade and in attack,” the coach added.
He also famously said that Noah wasted no energy for a positive outcome:
“We attacked, pressed, tried to earn as much as possible. So we could have played more than ten times under the hour from the opponent’s overhead passes, but I won’t say we played badly. Dynamo just showed very good football today,” Perkovich summarized.
In the group stage of the Conference League, Noah scored all points in six games and took 19th place. This result allowed the Virmen club to reach the 1/16 finals of the LK.
