Former Zenit player Gasilin urged not to criticize players for high salaries
Former Zenit striker Alexei Gasilin complained about the hard life of football players. His words are quoted by Sport24.
Gasilin urged not to criticize football players for high salaries, noting that out of millions of athletes, few reach good earnings. “Being a professional footballer is hard work. You spend your entire childhood not knowing if you can make it or not. Footballers take risks, donate, so everyone’s salaries are justified, ”he said.
Gasilin played for the youth teams of Zenit, as well as for Amkar, Volgar, Tom and others. In addition, the footballer played in Portugal, Germany and Cyprus. Gasilin currently plays in the Medialiga for Amkal.
Earlier, the former head coach of Zenit Vlastimil Petrzhela compared the level of salaries of football players in Russia and Europe. “The best players in Russia are paid the same as the best players in European leagues. The rest is average, as elsewhere in Europe,” he said.
