Former CSKA Moscow striker Vladimir Ponomarev talked about the current generation of Russian football players in an interview with a socialbites.ca correspondent.
According to him, they are spoiled especially by the big money that clubs pay them.
“Our players are paid very high salaries, so in general you cannot indulge young players who have not reached a certain level. It doesn’t fit. This is pampering. It’s immoral, I might even say.
If they show a good level of play – I’m not talking about Ronaldo or Messi, but at least approximately, then please no one will object. But it is unacceptable to wildly pamper 21-22-year-olds. It is debauchery that corrupts them.
I hope that in the near future the names of several stars will be announced, with which it will be possible to come to the stadium exclusively. Now there is no one to look at – a gray mass. All players act exactly the same on the field. In all teams. There are talented foreign players – in Zenit, CSKA, Dynamo, and all our players are a solid gray mass, ”Ponomarev told socialbites.ca.
