Dmitry Sychev, former striker of the capital “Locomotive” and the Russian national team, talked about the naturalization of Brazilian midfielders “Zenith” Malcolm and Claudinho.
According to him, legionnaires should not be called up to the national team.
“We have to train our players. I want only the Russians to play in the Russian team. There is also an example of Mario Fernandez and Guilherme that works. Let’s see what happens to Malcolm and Claudinho.
I don’t think this is a story about the national team, it’s more about their legionnaire status. But if Valery Karpin starts calling them, the competition will benefit our young players, ”quotes Sychev sports24.
Recall that Malcolm and Claudinho became the 2020 Olympic champions in Tokyo as part of the Brazilian national team. The players received Russian citizenship in February 2023.
