Arshavin compared 18-year-old Russian national team player Sergei Pinyaev with Cristiano Ronaldo
Former football player of the Russian national team Andrey Arshavin on the channel “Such a football” on YouTube spoke about the game of 18-year-old midfielder “Locomotive” Sergei Pinyaev.
According to him, the midfielder can be compared with the captain of the Portuguese national team Cristiano Ronaldo. “I would like to see Pinyaev at Zenit, but I have said many times that he has other qualities, the main thing is speed, he flies like a rocket,” said the former football player.
Arshavin also added that he does not associate Pinyaev with himself. “He understands when to part with the ball, but it seems to me that I am a more subtle player, I have more head and decisions,” added the ex-player.
On June 28, Pinyaev was named the best young football player of the Russian Premier League of the 2022/2023 season according to the head coaches and club captains. He has one goal in three matches for the national team.
