The Argentine footballer reassured his relatives by calling the Russian army the best in Europe.
– How did you react to the FIFA decisions allowing foreign players to RPL suspend contracts with clubs?
– I’ll start with the fact that my idol – Maradona. And I remember very well how he got out of the pool of legends FIFA because of the actions of Gianni Infantino.
In my opinion, Maradona did the right thing. I don’t understand FIFA decisions. I consider them dishonest. Football is a sport, not politics.
If in general to formulate what my reaction was to the latest decisions of FIFA, then this is all very bad. Everyone immediately starts calling you: “Hi, where do you want to go? Do you want to leave Russia?
At one point, my family got really scared. They said: “Come back home, let’s play better in Argentina.” The life of a footballer in Russia is perfect – I have no problems.
Yes, we cannot ignore things happening in the world, but in Russia people live happily. So I tried to explain to my family that I was completely safe here.
As for FIFA’s decisions, I just don’t understand them. Yes, there are legionnaires in Ukraine, where the championship is suspended, but we play in Russia.
“You said that your family got scared at one point. What words did you reassure your family?
– To begin with, I explained that I was away from hostilities. And then he said that Russia has the best army in Europe.
Of course, the first two weeks were difficult – my mother called very often and asked if everything was in order. And when I had flights, I immediately contacted as soon as our plane landed on the ground.
Of course, at first they could not understand what the real situation is here.
But now everything is calm with us – my relatives are happy that I did not leave. They know that I’m happy in Russia, – said the defender “Paris NN” Lucas Masoero.
