The specialist emphasized that his words were taken out of context, as he was answering the question posed. “And the question was posed like this: what would you advise the players if they suddenly have offers from the top-5 European championships, like Golovin, Kuzyaev and Zakharyan. To which I answered for the thousandth time that for progress and development, football players need to leave their comfort zone,” said Karpin.
The coach added that he did not advise all Russian football players to go to any European championships, but spoke about the best leagues of the Old World. “I would be only glad if our players progressed and developed in the RPL in the same way as in the top 5 championships,” said Karpin.
On September 12, Karpin called on Russian players to leave for European clubs. He noted that he advised leaving the Russian Premier League (RPL) many times. “I can say this again. Will the league be weaker? But those who will play there, even if there are 20 people, but they will be strong,” he expressed his opinion.
