Former Russian national team striker Dmitry Bulykin participated in the legends match in Sharjah (United Arab Emirates).
Previously, he published photographs on his social network page depicting a team of former footballers, among whom was the 2006 world champion as part of the Italian national team. Francesco Totti and winner of the Ballon d’Or Michael Owen. Bulykin gave the details to the source:
The teams did not have names, we played under the leadership of Paolo Maldini, we won with a score of 11:9. Of course, it’s a flagship event for the country that hosts it, because the superstars come to play football and padel, sign autographs, it was interesting. We had such a series last year, when foreigners came to Russia, even Ballon d’Or winner Fabio Cannavaro, it turned out to be a good event. I would like these former high-level footballers to come to Russia, for many they are idols, I would love to see them play football and padel, it’s expensive, but everything is possible. But for that, you need a big event, like this sports week in Sharjah.
We communicate with all the footballers, live here for a week, do different activities and different excursions. I know the owner of an international company that deals with football players and they invited me. Besides, everyone is interested in Russia. This is not the first time I participate in such events, I am happy to meet everyone, talk and communicate with the legends of world football. Everyone likes to enjoy football, padel and socializing.
