Valery Gazzayev, who once headed Dynamo Kyiv, has supported the idea of Russia applying to host the European Championships in 2036 or 2040.
Valery GazzayevValery Gazzayev believes that Russia's bid to host the European Championships in 2036 or 2040 would be, and we quote, an absolutely healthy and reasonable decision.
"The current political situation in the world will not last forever. In my opinion, there is every reason for this proposal. We have excellent infrastructure, and in 2018 the country hosted the best World Cup in terms of its organisation, security and sports component," Gazzaev said in an interview with propaganda media.
However, Gazzaev's statement was ridiculed even by his own countrymen. Sport-express.ua has selected the most delicious comments from the network:
Dart_Yoda: "Serve together with Eritrea and North Korea".
Overkiller: "I see Ukraine happily running to UEFA to support the idea."
Wolf Nurse: "What a world of delusional fantasies the moustached man lives in. Officials are muttering about moving to Asia, and this guy has read too many fairy tales."
Pidkat Penalty: "Everything will fall apart by 36, given the amount of theft during construction."
URALETC: "Where to apply? To your grandfather's village?"
