Head coach of the Russian national football team Valery Karpin in an interview “Soviet sport” He answered the question of whether Monaco midfielder Alexander Golovin is the coolest player he has ever coached.
“I probably won’t say that right away. Probably not. First of all, everyone’s situation is different. What does coolest player mean? There is a centre-back, a midfielder and a striker. Alex was at Spartak, probably a higher class guy,” Karpin said.
Brazilian midfielder Alex played for Spartak from February 2009 to May 2011. During this period, he played in 69 matches and scored 19 goals and made 27 assists.
Alexander Golovin plays for French club Monaco. He has 4 matches this season and 1 goal. Currently, the midfielder of the Russian national team is preparing for the friendly match against Qatar, which will be played in Doha on September 12.
The International Football Federation (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) have decided to suspend the participation of the Russian national team and all Russian clubs in all competitions controlled by these organizations in the spring of 2022.
Previously Karpin said About the attitude of Russian national team players to patriotism.
