Former Dynamo player and head coach Sergei Silkin talked about possible reasons why Dynamo player Daniil Lesov acquired Israeli citizenship for the sake of moving to Maccabi. His words are quoted “Euro-Football.Ru”.
“I don’t know why he did it. Does he want to stay there after his career? Maybe. Our guys were still there. As for his football career, I don’t know how Israeli citizenship will help him, but since he did this, he needs it.
The injury devastated him. He could not recover after that. Silkin said, “If he is considering playing for Maccabi, the citizenship issue is within the knowledge of that club.”
