Mostovoy: We Will Set Another Record Against Nigeria, Plus Enjoy the Fireworks

Former midfielder of Celta, **[Alexander Mostovoy](https://www.example.com/tags/1773-aleksandr-mostovoj/)**, shared his thoughts on the friendly match between the national teams of Russia and Nigeria, which is set to take place at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. The game is scheduled for Friday, June 6.

«The absence of key players from the Nigerian squad doesn’t change anything. What does it matter who we beat? (Laughs). We’re breaking all the records. Most likely, we’re in for another crushing victory. We’ve been playing like this for three years now: we show up, play, make some noise, set another record, and then get to enjoy the fireworks,» Mostovoy told Championship correspondent Vladislav Kruglov.

Notably, stars of the Nigerian team such as Victor Osimhen from Napoli and Ademola Lookman from Atalanta will not participate in the match against Russia. The Russian national team is on a remarkable winning streak following their 5-0 triumph over Zambia in March of this year, boasting a total of eight victories with an impressive combined score of 44-0.
