MOSCOW, 1 Feb. The well-known TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov, in a conversation with Sport-Express, expressed his opinion about the match of the 1/2 finals of the European Futsal Championship between the national teams of Russia and Ukraine. The game will take place in Amsterdam on February 4.
" Ukrainians are not allowed to approach our athletes! How will they play? But seriously speaking, the match should take place. And to refuse the match for the Ukrainians… I hope they haven't completely lost their minds yet. Will there be more politics or sports in this match? Sports are sports. We do not oppose Ukraine. As for the Ukrainian headlines, how will they take revenge? Why should we pay attention to their stench?" — the TV presenter reacted.
In the other semi-final, the defending champions of the tournament, the Portuguese, will face the winner of the match between the national teams of Spain and Slovakia.
