Karpin called “evil” the limit on legionnaires

“I said everything a long time ago, back in 2008. Limit is evil. That’s all, ”this is how the head coach of the Russian national football team Valery Karpin answered the question of MatchTV about the limit on legionnaires in the Russian Premier League (RPL). “What else do you want me to say?” Karpin added.

He also pointed out that the constantly changing form of the limit on foreign players has a negative impact on the clubs, creating a number of difficulties for the clubs. According to Karpin, the club “signs” foreigners and Russian players under the same conditions, then these conditions change, but the contracts remain, which creates problems for the club’s managers.

Recall that at the end of December, the State Duma came up with the idea to fine football players for a bad game, violation of discipline, and based on complaints from fans. According to the authors of the initiative, the player should be fined under the contract concluded at the club. The goal of the initiative is to increase the motivation of football players to “play better and with full dedication”.

The Russian team led by Valery Karpin finished second in the qualifying tournament for the 2022 World Cup. This did not allow the Russians to qualify for the tournament directly. Now the national team will have to play a play-off against Poland. The game will take place on March 24, 2022 at Luzhniki. The winner of this pair will also play with the strongest in the confrontation between the national teams of Sweden and the Czech Republic in Luzhniki. A positive result will be a ticket to the final stage of the 2022 World Cup, which will be held in Qatar.
