Sochi legionnaire Christian Noboa called the level of football in Russia low
Sochi’s Ecuadorian midfielder Christian Noboa assessed the level of football in Russia. His words are quoted by RB Sport.
The legionnaire called the level of football in Russia low. “Foreigners are afraid to play in Russia. You can find good players in South America, but it’s hard to find in Europe, ”said the athlete.
On April 27, Noboa announced the acquisition of Russian citizenship. According to the Ecuadorian, for the first time he thought about a Russian passport in 2014, but then he did not think that he would spend so much time in the country.
Noboa has been playing in Russia since 2007. Since 2019, he has been playing for Sochi. Together with the club, the midfielder became the silver medalist of the 2021/2022 RPL season and was recognized by the Russian Football Union as the best player of that season. Earlier, the midfielder twice became the champion of Russia as part of the Kazan Rubin and one more time with the St. Petersburg Zenit.
