“It’s harder to fight with Dziuba than with Abubakar” – Russian national team player Soldatenkov
Defender of Krylia Sovetov and the Russian national team Alexander Soldatenkov spoke about the confrontation with striker Vincent Abubakar in a friendly match with Cameroon (1:0).
The meeting took place in Moscow at the Dynamo stadium named after Lev Yashin and ended with a score of 1:0 in favor of Valery Karpin’s team. The game was shown live on the Match TV channel.
— Is Abubakar the toughest opponent in my career? It’s probably harder to fight with Dziuba than with Abubakar (laughs). It was easier with Abubakar. He is a very good football player – strong and stands well on the field. It was difficult with him. What do I know about the Kenyan team? Nothing yet. Probably tomorrow there will be a theory. The coach will tell you what and how,” Soldatenkov is quoted as saying by “Championship.”
On October 16, the Russian team will play against the Kenyan team in Antalya, Turkey. This game will also be shown live on the Match TV channel.
