Anton Zabolotniy transferred to "Spartak" and responded to the criticism

Forward Anton Zabolotniy has moved to the “Spartak” team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The contract with the 34-year-old player has been officially announced. Zabolotniy expressed quite a firm opinion in response to the criticisms directed at him throughout his career. He said: “A lot has been said about me.

They said I wouldn’t play in the RPL. They said I would never play for the national team.

They said I only score against empty goals and children. They called me wooden.

They said I wouldn’t decide the score in important games. They said I would never be able to join the most prestigious club in the country.

Such things have been said throughout my career, but I will keep working.” Additionally, in the video clip, Zabolotniy is seen shaking off the emblems of the CSKA and “Zenit” teams he previously played for from his shoulders. Last season, Anton Zabolotniy played for the “Khimki” team. Due to financial issues, the club could not obtain a license for the next season of the Russian Premier League and ceased operations. In the first round of the next season, “Spartak” will face the “Dinamo” team from Makhachkala at home.
