Abramovich Puts Decent Money for Russia

17 years ago in News & Features

Russian billionaire is giving out $40 million for his country’s national football team which I doubt would go far enough to making his country a force to reckon in world competitions. Chelsea reached the top of the league through the money of Abramovich but we are talking about a huge amount. The money given to Russian football is just the price of a star player in Chelsea.

For political, social and patriot reasons, I salute Abramovich.

Zidane’s goal is all that matters, another chapter to a decade of greatness.
