“The transition of Medina to Spartak can be understood” – Shirokov

Former Zenit and CSKA midfielder Roman Shirokov told Sport Day after Day that the departure of midfielder Jesus Medina will not affect CSKA’s performance in the OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup match against Zenit.

– In matches for the Super Cup, about two or three goals are scored and even more are scored, this time we expect the same. I do not think that Zenit is like a favorite for this game. I would estimate the chances of the teams 50/50.

– Who will have a harder time due to the loss of players?

– CSKA played the entire second half of last season without Carrascal. And Medina left – also a small loss. I do not think that they will affect the game of CSKA.

– Some call Medina a traitor for moving to Spartak. Deservedly to him so?

– Moved and moved, what’s wrong with that? It’s just his personal choice. Fans can understand why they are all starting. But after all and the player can be understood.

Watch the live broadcast of the match for the Russian Super Cup on July 15 on Match TV and MATCH PREMIER channels, matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites. The meeting will begin at 17:00 Moscow time.
