According to the goalkeeper, the specialist did not call for weakening the championship. “He encouraged people to try their hand at other environments if they had the opportunity. As for me, in Russia many people simply stay in clubs, play and do not strive to go anywhere further,” said Safonov.
The player also thanked Karpin for his opinion. “Why judge people for their personal honest thoughts?” – Safonov noted.
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.
