The striker of Lokomotiv and the Russian national team Nikolai Komlichenko after the game with the team of Uzbekistan received tomatoes as a gift, because of the prices for which he complained in an interview. The frame with the football player in the post-match studio was published by Okko.
The Russian team won in Tashkent with a score of 3: 2. The Russians conceded two goals, and Komlichenko's double (70th and 75th minutes) allowed the team to equalize the score.
In December 2024, while still speaking for Rostov, Komlicheno told the Championship that he was shocked by food prices. For example, there are Uzbek tomatoes that cost more than a thousand. My wife and I love them very much, Komlichenko said, noting that his “toad strangles” to buy favorite vegetables often.
In April 2025, Komlichenko said that the head coach of the Russian national team Valery Karpin was “a little bit intoxicated” because of tomatoes, and that other people also joked over him.
Since 2019, Komlichenko has played 11 matches for the Russian national team, scoring three goals.
