Golovin and Sobolev arranged a quarrel at the training of the Russian team
Sobolev hit the ball and hit Golovin, who tied his back to him, leaning over, shoelaces. The Monaco midfielder asked him, "Are you a fool?" But Sobolev said he did it by accident
Monaco midfielder Alexander Golovin and Zenit striker Alexander Sobolev arranged a skirmish at the training of the Russian national team in Novogorsk. The video was published by the press service of the team.
When Golovin leaned over to straighten his shoelaces, Sobolev hit the ball from behind and hit him under his knees. Sobolev immediately said, “Oh, sorry,” and Golovin asked, “Are you a fool?”
The Zenit forward replied that he did it "accidentally," "hit past" and the ball "hit the knot.".
Head coach Valery Karpin, when asked about criticism of Sobolev after this video, said he would discuss it with the players on Friday.
Sobolev later published a screenshot of the correspondence with Golovin in the telegram channel, in which he sent him a video of the episode and offered to read the comments, and the Monaco football player responded with four emojis “laughter to tears.”.
The Russian national team will hold three matches in the autumn pause - with Iran (September 29), Namibia (October 3) and Nigeria (October 6).
