Cuban national team player Junior Perez said that he and his teammates received unforgettable impressions from Russia and Volgograd.
On Monday, the Russian team defeated the Cuban team with a score of 8:0. The meeting took place in Volgograd at the 2018 World Cup stadium “Volgograd Arena”.
— Before the start of the match, the thought was in my head that it was very cold. These are conditions to which we are not accustomed. But when you are on the field, you are only focused on the game and the result. The support in Volgograd was super! They rooted not only for Russia, but also for us. Everyone enjoyed the match. We received unforgettable impressions from Russia and Volgograd,” Championship quotes Peres.
The national teams of Russia and Cuba had never met before the match in Volgograd; the USSR national team played the only time with the Cuban national team – in the group at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow and won with a score of 8:0.
