World Cup starts with goal of "Krasnodar" player and promotion of Slepakov's song by Kadyrov
After Russia's victory over the Saudi Arabia team in the first FIFA World Cup-2018 match, Ramzan Kadyrov announced a "new song" from Semyon Slepakov.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the singer Semyon Slepakov posted on the YouTube a satirical song about the failure of the head of Chechnya as the head coach of the Russian national football team. According to the author, even the tough methods practiced in Chechnya will not be able to help the team at the World Cup.
The Football World Cup-2018 in Russia will last until July 15. Some matches will be hosted by three cities in Southern Russia – Sochi, Rostov-on-Don and Volgograd.
The opening match of the World Cup of Russia versus Saudi Arabia ended in Moscow with a score of 5:0 in favour of the Russian team.
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, was present in the stadium. "We firmly believe in our team; we believe that the guys will fight with full force for a worthy place. Russia, forward!" Kadyrov wrote before the start of the match in his Telegram.
Earlier, Djambulat Umarov, the Chechen Minister for National Policy, External Relations, Press and Information, called on Slepakov to apologize to the head of Chechnya. Kadyrov himself wrote that he liked the song, and invited the singer to Chechnya.
