Andrey Arshavin, former football player of London Arsenal and the Russian national team, shared his views on the fact that many domestic football players want to move to European clubs.
“Almost all Russian football players said they want to leave Europe and play. I don’t think there is anything behind it. Because the level of the majority does not match their ambitions.
It is clear that they will not go to some supernumerary clubs in the Czech Republic. Everyone wants to play in the top 5 and at least compete in the Europa League. We don’t have many players at this level. Plus, they’re most likely uninteresting for these clubs. And if you go to lower level teams, then the salary level will not meet their expectations.
All the best Russian players here will get more money from abroad. And there will be a border or not, it will always be like that, ”said the former football player Youtube channel “GLOBAL Production”.
Arshavin, 41, retired in 2018. Petersburg “Zenith”, London “Arsenal”, Krasnodar “Kuban” and Kazakh “Kairat”. Arshavin is a three-time champion of Russia as part of the national team, winner of the UEFA Cup and bronze medalist of the European Championship.
Arshavin has been the Deputy General Manager of Sports Development at Zenit since 2022.
