Tomasz Cizek quickly returned from the locker room and went off somewhere with the doctor. He did not appear on the field.
“I have a small cold,” he explained. - Temperature.
- High?
“And now there’s already, they shot down,” the footballer explained. - The doctor gave me pills and advised me to take a breath. Now I’ll stand a little and go home. Max, you’ll go alone with Roman Gubnik.
He had already turned to the club’s press attaché, who had promised to help him in some matters.
“How am I going to talk to him,” Maxim was confused. - In what language?
“Why talk there,” Chizek shrugged. - Take a trip and do everything.
However, Gubnik is already quite reasonably explained in Russian. Although he is still far from the Argentine Hector Bracamonte. The main trouble of the striker is shyness.
- Hector, tell me, and you ...
“Wait, let the translator wait,” the South American panicked.
- What for? You already understand everything. Tell me, how do you find Lokomotiv? Roman Adamov, for example, considers this team the strongest in Russia at the moment.
- I don't know anything about Lokomotiv. I didn’t play there. I saw this club, a good team.
- And how do you play in the heat? On the field will have to go into the heat.
- Fine. But in general, let's wait for the translator. I can’t say that.
- I understand everything clearly.
- I do not know whether I say or not. I’m not sure that I speak Russian well.
Yuri Zhevnov, although fluent in Russian, declined to speak. And he even explained why.
“It is worth giving me an interview, so I immediately miss, and the team loses”
“It is worth giving me an interview, it is worth it to appear in the newspaper on the eve of the match, so I immediately miss it, and the team loses,” he explained to the press attaché, who had been sent out by intelligence to the intelligence service.
That's actually the whole reason for the failure of “Moscow” in recent matches. There is nothing more to think about.
Leonid Slutsky, however, is deprived of such superstitions.
“Today we will have a light training,” he told the players, but so that others could hear. - We’ll spend two days at the base. Then we go to Luzhniki and practice there. Then back to base. Any questions, Hector?
- When is the next workout? - asked a little late goalkeeper Sergey Kozko.
“Everything is as usual,” Slutsky flashed his eyes.
That is, Kozko will again be in stock.
Most of all, the players were interested in how they feel in such heat.
“It will be very difficult,” Mariusz Jop admitted. - I don’t even know how to prepare for such a meeting. During the game, you will need to save strength so that they remain until the end.
“I do not like this weather,” the Czech Cizek was in solidarity with him. - No football player likes.
By the way, the training took place on the natural lawn of the base in Myachkovo, although on Sunday you will have to perform on synthetics.
“The smaller we get on the artificial turf, the better,” Tomasz revealed.
It is known that Leonid Slutsky will by no means let Isaac Okoronkvo, Alexei Meleshin and Branislav Krunich enter the field. The latter was injured recently - pulled the back muscle. All the rest are still in the ranks, including Hector Bracamonte and Pablo Barrientos.
There will be no problems with attitude.
“You know, I have not won anything in my life,” Roman Adamov admitted a few days ago. - And I really want to take the trophy.
Passing by the dining room, the attacker nearly pulled raw meat from the table.
“Fresh,” the footballer said with satisfaction.
Only the most evil are fed with a raw product.
