CSKA striker Anton Zabolotny spoke about his removal in the 8th round match of the Russian Premier League with Spartak (1: homepage 0).
«I don’t pretend to be upset, but, unfortunately, I couldn’t hold back my emotions a little. This is football. I do not think that this card should have been, but the interpretation is the interpretation. I slightly blurred the ending of the meeting, but most importantly, the team won. Unfortunately, I will not go to Nizhny Novgorod, but I will be with the team in my heart, I will support the guys in Moscow.
There was no discomfort due to the weather, the intensity of the struggle was incredible. I don’t know how it looked from the screen and from the stands, but there was just a cut on the field. I felt the energy of the team, felt how Spartak wanted to win. I think it was a great derby. It’s great to perform at such a high level, «Zabolotny said in an interview with the CSKA press service.
