Former Russian national team player Yuri Zhirkov spoke about the difficulties in training to become a coach. His words are quoted by TASS.

Previously, he played for Zenit, with which he became the Russian champion three times. In addition, Zhirkov was a member of CSKA, Chelsea, Anzhi and the capital’s Dynamo.
