World football champion Dunga compared Nikita Simonyan to Raul and Ronaldo.
The legendary Brazilian midfielder, the 1994 World Champion Dunga, highly valued the character and legacy of the outstanding Soviet football player and coach Nikita Simonyan. In an interview with Sport-Express, the former captain of the Brazilian national team put the local football legend in the same line as world-class stars - Raul and Ronaldo.
According to Dunga, Simonyan was not only a great goalscorer who could make a difference on the field, but also a person with exceptional personal qualities. Let's remember that in October, World Cup champion Brazil came to Moscow specifically to present the Nikita Simonyan Award, established in honor of the 100th anniversary of the legend's birth.
