Playing in the United States, a pupil of “Zenith” Vedernikov said that the club gave him the nickname God
Zenit graduate Bogdan Vedernikov, who left for the United States, spoke about the attitude towards him in the American football club Colorado Springs Mountain Lions. His words are quoted by Sport24.
The 19-year-old athlete noted that he communicates well with all the players of the team, since its composition is international, and told what questions foreigners ask about Russia. “Mostly about stereotypes: vodka, cold. One of my close friends, a repulsed American, asks really wild questions as a joke. But I don’t take offense at this, ”the Russian explained.
Vedernikov also admitted that the team gave him the nickname God. “I told them [значение слова]. They’re like, “Okay, cool!” They still call it that, it’s convenient, after all. Still sometimes – “Boggy”, “said the athlete.
The University of Colorado Springs football team plays in the second division of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Vedernikov replenished its composition in August 2022.
