The former coach of Zenit said that it would be difficult for Russian players to play in Europe
Former Zenit coach Vlastimil Petrzhela spoke about the attitude towards football players from Russia in Europe. This is reported by the Bookmaker Rating.
The specialist did not undertake to claim that the recent cases of termination of contracts with Russian players in the Czech Republic are connected precisely with the political situation. However, Petrzhela confirmed that a bad attitude towards the Russians was established in Europe.
He predicted difficulties for Russian football players who wanted to try their hand at Europe. “They will have to perform at home,” concluded Petrzhela. He called the isolation of Russian football a disaster, but noted that young players will have more opportunities amid the departure of foreign players.
Earlier it was reported that two Russian football players were forced to leave Czech clubs due to visa problems. In particular, Yevgeny Nazarov left Bohemians-1905, and Maxim Matveev was forced to terminate the contract with České Budejovice.
