President of Yekaterinburg “Ural” Grigory Ivanov commented on the comparison of the playing level of the team’s football player Ilya Ishkov with the Argentinian striker Lionel Messi and God. Ivanov quotes the words “Soviet sport”.
“Of course, I do not agree with this view. Just because Ilya scores goals does not mean that he is the god of football. Yes, he is a very good football player, but he needs to improve himself. We really hope for Ishkov. He is a young man, he has potential. God wants everything to go well for him. May everything go well,” Ivanov said.
Ishakov, who played in 12 matches in the Russian Premier League (RPL) this season, scored one goal. He is a Ural graduate and has been playing in the main team since last season. His contract with the club runs until the summer of 2025. By portal version TransfermarktIshakov’s market value is 300 thousand euros.
