Footballer Medvedev's agent on the scandal with fans: "There were reasons for this"

      The football agent of the goalkeeper of "Pari NN," Nikita Medvedev, Andrey Talaev, commented on his client's statements after the match of the 29th round of the RPL against CSKA, which ended in a 1:2 defeat for the Nizhny Novgorod team.

      The match took place in Nizhny Novgorod on May 11. After the final whistle, Medvedev swore at the team's fans. The goalkeeper's dissatisfaction was caused by banners in the stands supporting the former head coach of "Pari NN," Alexey Shpilevsky.

      According to Talaev, the player's reaction may have seemed too emotional, but to understand the situation, one must know the internal atmosphere within the team.

      "Perhaps the form and the reaction of Nikita were indeed sharp, but you need to be inside the team to understand the reasons for such words. I am sure he would not have reacted this way if everything within the club had been calm. If he decided to take such a step, it means there were certain reasons for it," Talaev said in an interview with "RB Sport."

      After 29 rounds of the Russian championship, "Pari NN" is in 15th place in the standings with 22 points. In the last round of the season, the Nizhny Novgorod team will play away against "Rubin."

      It was reported that Medvedev's behavior will be assessed by the Control and Disciplinary Committee of the RFU. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX.
