Zhuravsky wants Russian SuperClassico – the August 1 clash between Spartak and CSKA – to become the Oracle’s first test in Russia.
“I really hope that this extraordinary octopus moves to Russia by August 1. It will be curious to see which box he will open before the Spartak vs. CSKA match. But even if by this time we won’t be able to buy him, we will make every effort to rent him at least for a day,” he added.
Octopus Paul accurately predicted the outcome of all of Germany’s matches at the FIFA World Cup, as well as the Spanish victory in the finals.
