31-year-old Russia and Rubin Kazan defender Vladimir Granat set entirely abysmal record for plating the most minutes in the World Cup game (against Spain) with completing a single pass. Host Russia undoubtedly been rock solid at the back during their remarkable win over Fernando Hierro’s men, but at least it was a first time a player has no success at passing since beginning of counting in 1966.
Granat, coming as half-time sub, made 11 touches of the ball in 75 minutes and attempted 5 passes without single reaching a team-mate. Tiki-taka must be really insulted by the lad.
