Alexander Golovin advised Russian football players to leave to play in Europe.
– Since childhood, you had a dream to play in Europe, you realized it. And many Russian players, who initially had the same dream, do not dare to do this and remain in their comfort zone. What would you, playing in France for the fifth season, say to them and to the growing young football players?
– If a person likes to play in Russia, he is satisfied with the salary and comfort in his native country, it’s hard, and there’s no need to force him to go somewhere. I don’t think it’s bad, that’s his choice. But if he wants to progress, of course, he needs to leave. Unconditionally. There’s not even anything to argue regarding.
What if he wants to but is afraid?
– I think we should try. Because you can always return to Russia. Yes, in Europe it may not work out – they will put you on the bench, in the worst case, you will not get into the application at all.
It’s okay – you’ll come back, get in shape and play the same way as before. But you tried, and there’s definitely nothing wrong with that! It’s better to try and regret than not to try and regret,” the midfielder said. “Monaco”.
