Chelsea legend Ivanovic accidentally reveals team tactics to entire stadium after being filmed on the bench
CHELSEA legend Branislav Ivanovic accidentally revealed Zenit St Petersburg’s tactics to the entire stadium after being filmed remonstrating on the bench.
Hilarious footage shows the Serbian defender, 35, talking with teammates - including former Chelsea winger Yuri Zhirkov - during yesterday’s 4-0 Russian Cup win over Tom.
Ivanovic can clearly be seen talking about tactics and movements, demonstrating with his hands.
But the veteran did not know he was being filmed at the time.
Nor that the footage was being broadcast live to the entire stadium.
His teammates quickly spot themselves on the big screen.
And they get Ivanovic to stop talking immediately.
The ex-Chelsea ace stops moving, then cheekily looks at the camera and pretends to stretch his arms in a mocking manner.
Fans thought the incident was hilarious and took to Twitter to express their thoughts.
One wrote: “Miss him in Chelsea.”
Another tweeted: “Gotta love Brano.”
One said: “Brana over Alonslow.”
Another noted: “Branislav… What a legend.”
