The low activity of Russian teams in the transfer market is due to the lack of offers, former head coach of the Russian national team Boris Ignatiev said in an interview with socialbites.ca.
According to him, there is no point in clubs paying too much money for foreign players due to the lack of European cups.
“Although there is no point in buying average players, some clubs do not have the money to buy serious players. Some think that you can win by following the path of Lokomotiv, relying on the Russian core and with only two foreign players. We do not play in the Champions League, it is difficult to fight for first place and other results are their own We can achieve it by playing on our own and focusing on training and training work,” said Ignatiev.
Krasnodar finished 2024 as leaders of the Russian Premier League (RPL). In the national championship standings they and St. Petersburg Zenit have 39 points after 18 matches, but they have higher points thanks to Musaev’s 2:0 win in the head-to-head match. In third place was Spartak Moscow, which won its last six matches in the RPL; The red-whites collected points with 37 points.
