Former football player Bystrov said that he bet on an opponent in a match for Zenit
Former Russian national team footballer Vladimir Bystrov in an interview with the show “This is football, brother!” on VKontakte he spoke about betting on the opponent in his match.
The athlete recalled that this happened during his performances for Zenit St. Petersburg. “When bookmakers first appeared, I registered. We were in Spain, in Marbella. My leg was hurting then. They told me that I won’t play tomorrow,” he shared the details.
Then Bystrov decided to bet on his opponents, but the coach released him onto the field. “I scored two, assisted one, we won 3:1. I was upset, I went to this site, and they wrote to me that I can’t bet in a match where I’m participating,” he concluded.
Bystrov completed his sports career in 2018. The player’s last club was Tosno, which ceased to exist. As a member of Zenit, he became a two-time Russian champion. Recently, the athlete has been working as an expert on the Match TV channel. As part of the team, Bystrov became a bronze medalist at the European Championship in 2008.
