The football player decided to refuse to travel this confrontation and commented on his act:
– Golden, you did not go to the location of your team for a friendly match with Russia. Why?
– It’s simple. I think he did it for my family – Metalist 1925. It would be wrong for me if I went to the location of the national team that would play against Russia. It is not in good relations with Ukraine now.
– Who made this decision?
– I myself made this decision, talking to Metalist’s management 1925.
– And what was the reaction of the Zambia national team?
– They understood everything. I cannot go to play against Russia, because now Ukraine is my family.
– What is your opinion about Russia’s war against Ukraine?
– I just want this unpredictable clash to end as soon as possible, and everything was good, – said the football player.
