Journalist of "Sport-Express" Boris Levin told Eurosport portal
about his impressions of the football match held between Russian and
Azerbaijani teams in Baku. According to him, Alexander Samedov had the
worst experience, whom the fans from tribunes were shouting "Samedyan."
"This is Samedov's surname, distorted in Armenian. For the
Azerbaijanis, alas, the Armenians are implacable enemies," Levin said.
He says that the rest of the Russian team players supported Samedov
not only in the moment when he left the field. "When our players
came out to the playground Igor Akinfeev hugged Samedov, and hit
on his hands. Kerzh told him something then. But during the first
minutes Sasha was obviously wound up. This is understandable: the
whole stadium is against you only. One needs steel nerves not to
respond to such things. But he did well. He managed to calm down and
presented a great match," says Levine.
According to Levine, this kind of attitude of Azerbaijan towards
Samedov was related to his pre-match interview: "It was, by the
way, rather politically correct one. But you have to know the local
mentality: because of one wrong word "to punish" a whole story was
inflated in Baku. However, they see in it a slightly different,
much more offensive meaning than our football player. "
Halfback of Russian team Alexander Samedov in the "Sport Express"
newspaper shared his views on the upcoming match to be held
against Azerbaijan. To the question that Vogts wards show better
overseas samples of self-PR Samedov answered: "Really? Well, God
with them, no problem. And we will try to punish them for their
self-confidence." On the question whom his father will support for
who was born in Azerbaijan, he said, "that my father will support
the team, where his son plays. The answer is obvious: for Russian,
of course!". He also said that he was tired of the eternal questions
about his Azerbaijani roots.
During the match, which was held in Baku on October 15, the audience
in the stadium booed the Russian national team halfback Alexander
Samedov, they threw at him coins and lighters. After the game,
the representatives of the Association of Football Federations of
Azerbaijan apologized to Russian players for the unpleasant incidents
during the football World Cup qualifier match - in 2014 held between
Azerbaijan and Russia.
