Former capital CSKA striker Valery Masalitin said in an interview with socialbites.ca that the example of Real Sociedad midfielder Arsen Zakharyan clearly shows all young Russian players that there is no need to mindlessly strive to get to Europe.
According to him, players often leave the Russian Premier League (RPL) without proper preparation.
“It’s not for nothing that football people say you have to go to Europe prepared. It’s not just about going abroad, it’s about how to go there physically, psychologically. Therefore, when we recommend something, we don’t recommend anything bad. We go to Europe for confidence, for practice, for a certain experience.” either you need to go, so it will help your professional development later, but you need to be prepared. Now we may lose Zakharyan, because if he starts playing on loan, Karpin will stop calling him to the national team, that’s all. You will get him from the reserve team or another team playing in an unknown place and How could he not? The celebration of life is passing you by,” Masalitin said.
On October 24, Arsen Zakharyan made his debut for Real Sociedad in the Champions League match against Benfica. The Russian player entered the field in the 76th minute, replacing Ander Barrenechea, with the Spanish team’s score at 1-0.
