József Szabo: "I washed my hand after Putin came into the dressing room. If I had known how it would end, I would have nailed hi

Former head coach of the Ukrainian national team Jozsef Szabo recalled the famous match of our national team against Russia in qualifying for Euro 2000. We shall remind you that the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

"It was not football, but politics. The Central Committee workers came to the base, tipped them off. God forbid was to lose this match. It was more than football. That bastard Putin came into our changing room after the match, talking to me. I washed my hand afterwards. He came with security. If I had known how it would end, I would have nailed him there," Sabo said in an interview with Sport Arena TV.
