Ozdoev about the clash of fans in Grozny: “Knowing the local culture, I realized what the fans want. Passed information to our “- Football

Midfielder of Zenit Magomed Ozdoev commented on the incident with fans at the match of the 1/4 finals of the Russian Olympic Cup with Akhmat (2: 1, extra time).

At the end of the game, a brawl between the fans began after a group of Zenit fans stripped to the waist.

– When the game was stopped due to the fact that the Akhmat bend ran to the guest sector, you also rushed into the thick of things. What happened there and what did you do there?

– Knowing the local culture and language, I spoke with representatives of the security service, I understood what local fans want and what is the problem. Passed information to our fans. They also understood what was happening. And then there were no problems – the game continued quietly.

– Share your impressions of the cup meeting with Akhmat in general?

– A very good game turned out. The audience, I think, liked it. 120 minutes, a lot of struggle. We could score more, but it so happened that we hit the opponent’s goal twice.

– What mainly shook the “Zenith” after the “Akhmat” led 1-0?

– Before the goal conceded, the game was probably easy. Everything went to the point that we will soon score. And in the first half, moments were created, and the second started well.

But then this ridiculous 11-meter that I earned. Absolutely did not want to touch Berisha, but it happened. Berisha is constantly looking for such moments, he is very unpleasant in the penalty area.

But be that as it may, all this shook us very much. Understood what needs to be added at a pace. And, of course, the guys who replaced came to the rescue. Oleg Shatov and Yuri Zhirkov, who shows a cool game, regardless of age.

As a result, we added and deservedly won, ”Ozdoev said.

In Grozny, it flared up because of naked torsos: Akhmat fans ran to Zenit fans, it was scary
