“Grzegorz Krychowiak is a rat”. Russians cross borders

Big changes are waiting for the FK Krasnodar team. The sixth team of the Russian league lost the coach on Wednesday. Daniel Farke left the club with all his staff. The trainer explained that it was due to family reasons. – The current political situation in, as well as the requests of our children, wives and entire families forced me and my staff to resign from work – he announced in an interview with Kicker.

The first foreign player to leave FC Krasnodar

On Saturday it turned out that Viktor Claesson had left by mutual agreement. – It was a very hectic period. It started with the coaches leaving and all the foreign players wanting to leave as well. At this point, we felt like we were on a sinking ship. Krasnodar behaved wonderfully then. The authorities understood that this was an exceptional situation and allowed us to return home without any problems or penalties, the winger said in an interview with Sportbladet.

Claesson also talked about how difficult it was to return to Sweden from Russia. All through closed airspace. – The club helped us. He got us a bus so we could get to Sochi. The seven-hour journey from Krasnodar took winding roads along the Black Sea in the pouring rain. There were foreign players, managers, families, pregnant wives and vomiting children on the bus. From Sochi, we went to Istanbul by plane organized by the club, and from there everyone went home on their own. One and a half days passed from the moment of leaving Krasnodar to return home – reported the 30-year-old football player.

The 57-time Swedish representative and EURO 2020 participant did not hide the terrible emotions he felt during the evacuation from the country that he decided to attack. – We will never forget the stress of going to Sochi and traveling by bus. We felt as if we were fleeing the war, although in fact there was no such thing in Krasnodar. I’m glad it’s over. I understand that this cannot be compared to what the people of Ukraine are going through. All my thoughts are with them. Our journey from Russia is nothing, really nothing, compared to what they are going through – added the Swede.

Krychowiak attacked by Russian journalists

All indications are that due to the war in Ukraine with Krasnodar, more foreign players will soon say goodbye. He was the first to come out in front of the line. The Pole not only started talks on premature termination of the contract, but also persuaded his teammates to act in a similar way. They boycotted the training, and FK Kransodar activists reportedly agreed to cancel the contracts by mutual agreement.

“Is there a rat like Krychowiak that will stir up the rest?” – a journalist of the sports.ru portal asked during an interview with the press spokesman of Spartak Moscow. On the portal kubnews.ru, we read that only the president of Krasnodar is sorry. “We hear that Grzegorz Krychowiak wants to leave the Russian league. There was also a rumor that all foreigners from Krasnodar do not want to play. Humanly sorry for Sergei Galicki, he is a private businessman, he did not deserve it” – wrote in the article.

Russian journalists are attacking not only Grzegorz Krychowiak, who is considered to be the cause of all the confusion. “This approach of foreigners has nothing to do with professionalism. They mixed sports with politics, which has long been a custom in the western world” – assessed journalists of the soccer.ru portal.

, during which the change of transfer regulations was discussed. It was, among others, about foreigners playing in Russia. There are two ideas. One is allowing players to terminate contracts with clubs by mutual consent outside the transfer window.

The second idea is more radical. It is about granting the right to terminate contracts to all foreigners appearing in the Premier League due to the country’s participation in the armed conflict. Although this option pushed by FIFPro should find support, it is quite controversial. Russian clubs would lose millions.
