Former football player of the Russian national team Alexander Mostovoy agreed with the head coach of the national team Valery Karpin, who advised the players to leave Russia. Mostovoy’s words are quoted as follows: RIA News.
Let’s remember, after the Qatar match on September 12, Karpin said that Russian players should try themselves in stronger championships to progress.
“I gave this advice 15 years ago, when our men were still more or less in demand. And if it were not for the artificially created greenhouse conditions here, many people would leave this place. “We left when the Soviet Union collapsed, we left at a young age, 20-21 years old,” Mostovoy said.
On September 12, the Russian team drew with Qatar in a friendly match. The meeting ended with a score of 1:1. The goal of the second half was opened by Ahmed Alaa, the 30-year-old striker of the Abu Cairo Samad club. Following the corner, 26-year-old Samara Krylya Sovetov defender Alexander Soldatenkov scored the return goal in the 90th minute.
After this match, the Russian national team players, who completed their September training camp, will return to their clubs shortly.
Previously Zarema Salikhova expressed respect Karpin for advising the players to leave the RPL.
