Paraguayan football player of CSKA Jesús Medina spoke about holding matches during frosts. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
On February 23, the army team played their first match against Krasnodar in the Russian Cup quarter-finals at an air temperature of -8 degrees in Moscow. “It was a little strange for me to play in such cold conditions. It was the first time I played at such a low temperature, I have never been so cold, ”said the midfielder. He added that he tried to keep warm to show the best football.
The confrontation ended with the victory of CSKA with a score of 3:0. The second leg will be held in Krasnodar on February 28 and will start at 19:30 Moscow time.
