Football player of St. Petersburg Zenit and the Russian national team Ivan Sergeev in an interview Sports24 He talked about his experience playing under Andrei Talalaev, with whom he worked in Tambov.
“Talalaev is a tough player to give advice in training. In general, I had good relations with all the coaches. The only problem is, I didn’t understand why Talalaev sent me to the psychologist. During the winter break, the club sent me an offer to see a psychologist. But I am sure that this message came exactly from Talalaev.
I was on holiday in Moscow and went to a session. I don’t even remember what we talked about with this woman. Maybe if I hadn’t been 20 years old at the time, I would have treated this procedure differently.
In general, I do not understand why psychologists are needed when there is a family, parents. They are the best psychologists. If you want to talk to someone, it is better to do it with your family than with a stranger,” Sergeev said.
