The former president of Lokomotiv Moscow commented on the story of red-green midfielder Nair Tiknizyan’s interest in him from German Werder Bremen. In his comments to socialbites.ca, the official stated that every player in the Russian Premier League (RPL) should seize this chance.
“Such an opportunity is huge for any Russian football player today. Traveling to Europe is a step forward. No matter how patriotic we are, we must understand very well that football players are flocking to Europe. There teams participate in European cups, but we have nothing, We are isolated. A football player still devotes his whole life to this, he wants to play, he wants to develop – there is no point in condemning him for this. Tiknizyan also plays for the Armenian national team. If the transfer happens, it would be welcome and he will only have a good game and a successful career We wish,” said Naumov.
Tiknizyan said that Werder representatives contacted him in the summer. The athlete did not specify how possible his transfer would be in the near future.
