Former CSKA Moscow striker Valery Masalitin said in an interview with socialbites.ca that Real Sociedad midfielder Arsen Zakharyan should take his chances of establishing himself in European football a little more seriously after leaving Dynamo Moscow.
The expert said that the 20-year-old Russian should learn Spanish as soon as possible.
“When foreigners come to our championship, we want them to produce results immediately, right? The situation is the same here, he was not taken into foster care. Real Sociedad paid a lot of money and want the player to bring maximum value. You came to Europe, to a team playing in the Champions League, and you think there is no need to play there?
If you want to leave then you need to work, be fully involved, go to every match and prove that you are a good football player. You will then play for your own team, be called up to the national team and develop as a football player. And you will go to Europe ready.
Moreover, if you are preparing to go abroad, you need to know the language. In Russia he laughed, joked, here he has friends, but there he is alone. Just one. He doesn’t know the language, there is no communication, it is difficult for him, he is a young man, he is sitting in a closed area,” said Masalitin.
