Russian national team coach Viktor Onopko said that social networks harm young football players
Viktor Onopko, assistant coach of the Russian national team, spoke about the influence of social networks on the behavior of young football players. It is reported by Sport24.
According to the expert, they harm inexperienced players. “There are footballers who do nothing but sit in social networks, but do not play football. They are popular online – thousands of likes and views. They go out on the field and think that they are fine, ”Onopko said.
The coach noted that the feelings of the players often do not correspond to reality. “That’s why they sit down on the bench,” Onopko added.
In July last year, the cost of one post of the striker of the Portuguese national football team Cristiano Ronaldo on Instagram was named (the social network is banned in the Russian Federation; belongs to the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in Russia and banned). According to the BBC, the publication of the forward’s advertising message is estimated at $1.6 million.
