RPL still spends big money on legionnaires

– Is it reasonable to spend such money on foreigners in the current situation?

– A foreigner is different for a foreigner. More like Claudinho or Barrios, and less consumer goods. Then, with all the sanctions, the market will work wisely. Let’s say, little-known Latin American footballers from the Dominguez agency came to Orenburg. With their help, we got our cool forward Sychevy at the exit. Here is your answer.

– That is, without foreigners, there will be no such development of Russian players?

– Of course.

– It is clear that England with billions of spending has gone far ahead, but Russia is on a par with Holland, Belgium and Portugal, whose clubs reach decisive stages in Eurocups. Where is the logic here?

– From the point of view of the current state of affairs, there is little logic. But in football, as in any business, the principle prevails – sell more than you bought. The Portuguese are doing it regularly with a billion hook. And we have their Danny was and remains a record for transfers in the domestic market. The conclusion is obvious.

– Are you talking about the long-term transition of the Portuguese from “Dynamo” to “Zenith”?

– Then we didn’t have such money, but here they laid out 30 million at a time.

– We talked about the fact that exclusion from international competitions should be a catalyst for the development of our own youth. Clubs of difficult paths are still not looking for?

– The house is built from the foundation. While children’s coaches will be paid 20 kopecks, our football will not take a step forward. In Germany, this is the most honorable profession, but in our youth mentors, after training, they still have to get drunk in order to feed their families. RPL clubs are very far from the taximeter, believe me. There are exceptions, like the Krasnodar school, but these are isolated private initiatives. Yes, and to them, by and large, big questions.

– Let’s go back to 143 million for international transfers. How much do you value internal?

– Add another two-thirds of that amount.

– Are agency fees included here?

– No, these are transfers between clubs.

“Then what’s the agent’s slice of this delicious pie?”

– Under 100-110 million.

– Previously, there were two incentives for Latin Americans or Africans to move to Russia – to earn money and shine in Europe. When there was only one left, how much did their interest in the RPL fall?

– It is clear that if you are not shown anywhere, then no one will see you. 125 countries bought the rights to broadcast Saudi Arabia when Ronaldo came. Television today decides everything, so when it is not there, then there is nothing at all. They think more carefully now, although there are still reference points like Malcolm.

– That is, if Malcolm is still playing in Russia, then you can go there?

– More or less like this.

– To what extent should the proposal from the RPL club be more interesting than the European one in order for the conditional Malcolm to go to Russia?

– If about Brazil, then there is a huge range of prices. We need to seize the moment. At one time, Berdyev could buy Robinho for a million and a half, albeit in certain shares. But a little later, Real Madrid signed him for 45 million.

– The scheme “buy for little – sell for a lot” in Russia, of course, does not work. Here an example of “Benfica” or “Ajax”?

– Another Shakhtar. There they do something fantastic. To take for 8-10, and to give for 80-90 is now a common story.

– Are you talking about Mudrik at Chelsea?

– This is a separate, and very strange, as for me, situation. But the guy can play.

– They always sell in the black…

– And then! You will remember Willian, Tymoshchuk, Chygrynskiy in Barcelona for 25 million, who did not play a single match there. Bravo management!

– Well, what do the owners of Russian clubs continue to be guided by when they make irrevocable injections?

– Maybe measure each other on the sidelines of power, or somewhere at the table.

– There was no movement in the opposite direction, and no. Zakharyan will not leave for England, there is also some kind of hitch with the Turkish version of Barinov. Why is everything so difficult?

– In the case of Barinov, Lokomotiv wants to sell dearly, as happened with Beka-Bek. As I understand it, they are looking for options through Serbian banks.

– Europe does not want the Russians, or do they themselves not burn with the desire to break into the unknown from warm places?

– First.

– Your ward from Dynamo Tyukavin is friends with Zakharyan. What does he, for example, feel when the contract with Chelsea, which was already on the table, is broken?

I don’t get into their souls. But would he play right off the bat?

– Will Tyukavin himself leave?

– Sooner or later, but not only where. And it’s definitely not Anderlecht. Kostya is only 20.

– Well, Kvaratskhelia – 21, and today he is one of the strongest. Maybe it’s better earlier, when you’re still hungry for the game?

– It’s hard to disagree here, but there are certain obligations to the club that we must fulfill.

– A few words about winter transfers in the RPL. The most significant, in your opinion?

– Everything is ahead. Until February 24, when the transfer window closes for us. So far, only the departure of Lovren from Zenit can be considered something significant

– And what about the arrival of regular Brazilians there?

– They took Renan just instead of Lovren. But I do not think that something will depend on this change of terms. There the game is built around Barrios.

– Youth in “Zenith” is not yet at its zenith, like Arshavin and Kerzhakov, but the desire is obvious, right?

– Well, if they take 40 people to the training camp, it is clear that they want to attract more and more of their own.

– “Spartacus”. By and large, do you like what happens after Fedun?

– It’s not about Fedun. Found a great coach.

– You branded Abaskal what the light is worth …

– It was the case, I confess. The main thing is to admit the mistake.

– Why did they make a mistake, in that case?

– It was the first approximation. Then I saw his game message and emotional. The whole bench runs to congratulate him after the goals.

– Under Carrera, this was not?

– Carrera played the same ones. Abascal always puts those whom he considers the strongest at the moment. Without such trust, Prutsev would not have played.

– Dziuba is here and there, but in the end, nowhere. Why is everyone rejecting him?

– Someone does not want to arrange KVN in their club, others do not want to risk the microclimate. I don’t want to say anything bad about Artem, but he got a chance at the World Championships in Russia, which he more than took advantage of. But what’s next!

– That is, write out a sentence for him?

– If a person calls Emery “coach”, and Mancini “complete …”, he signs everything for himself. Any coach who has worked with Dzyuba is lucky. Especially those whom he branded with the last word. Semak, of course, did not return and will not return it for the same reasons.

– And “NN” and “Torpedo”?

– In Nizhny they are still thinking, but in Torpedo everyone was for him, except for coach Talalaev.

– So far, by the way, there are surprisingly few transitions within Russia. Some trend?

– By and large, only the first collection passed. All will be.

– I have no doubt that the arrival of Berdyev in Sochi is considered the main winter transfer?

– Frankly, I’m interested to see what he will do today.

– You were waiting for the Argentines there, whom Kurban Bekievich loves so much. Doesn’t it seem that they no longer want to go from the country of world champions to Russia, even to Sochi?

– Do not confuse countries and people. Borders are just lines on maps.
