Kirill Glebov, the 19-year-old forward of Moscow CSKA, announced that he addresses goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev by his first name and patronymic. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Despite the age difference between them being almost twice as much, they maintain a friendly and sincere relationship. Glebov and his teammate Kislyak officially address Akinfeev as "Igor Vladimirovich," even during matches, according to Sport24.
Igor Akinfeev will turn forty next year. His contract with CSKA is valid until June 2026.
However, there is a high likelihood that the player will sign a new agreement with his home club. Additionally, when Glebov spoke about his teammate Vanya Oblyakov, he emphasized that he immediately took him under his protection.
This indicates a good atmosphere and mutual support within the team. Overall, close cooperation has been established between young players and experienced ones in the CSKA team.
This is an important factor for the team's future successes.
