Former Moscow football player Spartak and Lokomotiv Ari expressed his views on the expectations of Russian football players abroad. He shared his opinion with him Sports24.
“Russian young players must definitely go and play in Europe! Karpin is absolutely right. Russian players need to play in another championship for at least one or two years; This is a very important experience. The guys definitely need to at least see what the level is. This will give them the opportunity to develop further. Spending your entire career in Russia is definitely not an option,” said the Brazilian player.
Valery Karpin, head coach of the Russian national team, said that local players should leave the Russian Premier League (RPL) after the friendly match with the Qatar team. He later clarified his words by saying that he was not advising everyone to leave the league, his words were only about transfers to Europe’s top 5 championships.
Now there are only three Russians in the top 5 European championships. Midfielder Alexander Golovin plays for Monaco, Daler Kuzyaev plays for Le Havre and Alexey Miranchuk plays for Atalanta in Italy.
Previously Egor Titov in the name Russian players should not leave, they should flee to Europe.
