Midfielder “Sochi” Joasinho told how he managed to repeat the Gatagov trick in the match of the 1st round of the MIR of the Russian Premier League (RPL) with Moscow Torpedo (3: 1).
The 33-year-old Brazilian, who has a Russian passport, failed to hit the ball while trying to make a shot, as a result of which he turned 360 degrees. In 2010, Lokomotiv midfielder Alan Gatagov played in a similar way in a match with Saturn (1:0).
– You did such a cool feint today.
“This is not a feint,” Joaoozinho is quoted by Match TV.
— What is it?
– The field is dry. Failed to hit. It’s you in the moment [в первом тайме]right?
– Yes.
– You guys like to joke.
– It’s not a joke.
You are killing people with these questions.
Are we killing?
– Well, why? You can also ask other questions.
– You know that this is a legendary moment in Russian football.
– That’s how it became a legend.
– This is a number from figure skating.
– (silently nods head)
Can you explain the technique of this moment?
“I don’t have technology, that’s why.
– You don’t have any equipment?
– You’re better than me.
– No, seriously.
– And I’m serious.
— Well, how is it? Is it just the ball going out from under your foot? So, what is next?
“You know more than me. If you stop by such questions, you know more than me.
“It sounds like it bothers you.
“See, you’re funny.
Joaozinho later told the correspondent that he was asking stupid questions.
