But it was not the victories of Russian tennis players that were on the agenda in Russia yesterday. In football, there was a scandal around the presentation of CSKA newcomer Yusuf Yazici. The army team confirmed the transition of the 24-year-old midfielder on loan until the end of the season, the Turks successfully passed a medical examination and will soon join CSKA at a training camp in Campoamor. The press service of the Moscow club published a fictitious correspondence with Yazydzhi, where he first likes his photos, and then begins personal communication in English.
The Turk allegedly does not answer questions, but everything changes after the words that “Yusuf, this is Russia, we have a lot of Natasha here!”. The video was deleted from all CSKA accounts after 15-20 minutes, but the screenshots spread across all social networks. The army press service got the full blown from all the fans and experts, and after a while the club removed the employees responsible for the video, and the editor-in-chief of CSKA TV, Katerina Kirilcheva , had to apologize:
“I offer my sincere apologies for the presentation video that was released by our media group. Another scenario was originally planned and approved, but without the presence of the player, it could not be realized. In the conditions of lack of time, I came up with a plot that turned out to be unsuccessful and inappropriate, and for many, even offensive. Once again, I apologize to our fans, especially the girls, as well as to Yusuf personally.”
