Alexander Mostovoy spoke out against the performance of Malcolm and Claudinho for the Russian national team
Former football player of the Russian national team Alexander Mostovoy spoke out against playing for the national team of Zenit legionnaires Malcolm and Claudinho, who received Russian citizenship. His words are quoted by Match TV.
“Why then is everyone around yelling that you need to develop your players? 150 million people live in the country, stadiums are being built, training centers are being built, academies are developing, and we will flirt with the Brazilians? Bridge said. He noted that Malcolm and Claudinho would strengthen the team, but added that he did not see the point in this.

Earlier on February 24, it became known that the players of the St. Petersburg team changed their citizenship. The Russian Football Union (RFU) noted that there is a theoretical possibility of Malcolm and Claudinho playing for the national team.
Malcolm has been playing for Zenit since 2019. As part of the St. Petersburg team, he became a three-time champion of Russia, won the country’s Super Cup three times and became the winner of the Russian Cup. Claudinho joined the Blue-White-Blues in 2021 and, together with the club, became the champion of Russia and the owner of the Russian Super Cup.
