Coach Stanislav Cherchesov said he wasn’t going to praise young Russian players who could play for European clubs.
In his interview, he told reporters:
You know, sometimes you’re working as a coach, and your journalist brother starts praising a young player… after which the player simply becomes clueless. As the late Viktor Prokopenko said: “A player must be grabbed by the legs in time and dropped from heaven to earth.” That’s why I wouldn’t want to name specific names. I must say that there are players from the European warehouse. In terms of technology, in terms of quality. But believe me, to play in Europe and show yourself there, you have to be special. Recently, the coach’s last name appeared in the news of a possible appointment to the Armenian sports club CSKA.
But the club itself has already refuted this information.
