Medvedev was referencing the celebration from the FIFA video game that allows the goal scorer to flop on the ground like a dead fish.
"I like to play FIFA. I like to play PlayStation. It's called the 'dead fish' celebration. If you know your opponent when you play FIFA, many times you're going to do this. You're going to score a goal, you're up 5-0, you do this one," he added.
Medvedev said he gauged interest with his team before performing the celebration and they told him it would be "legendary." He added he wanted to give a shoutout to his friends he plays FIFA with.
