MOSCOW, December 26 Monaco midfielder Alexander Golovin, comparing the game and the intensity of training in Russia and Europe, he said that the players in the Russian Premier League (RPL) do not chew the field and do not fight to the maximum.
Earlier, the head coach of the Russian national team, Valery Karpin, said that Russian football players need to leave the RPL for foreign clubs, if possible.
“”On the field, the intensity is different. No offense to the players of the national team, I will say: when I come to the national team, I receive the ball from a defender in the middle of the field – there is no one around me, there is time even to take the ball poorly, turn around, look, run, there is a lot of time a lot. Here (at Monaco) there is no such thing. You will never receive the ball alone, someone will always run at you. This is the intensity, the speed of decision-making. It is much harder for you, you need to move more to get the ball in the free zone,” Golovin said on the YouTube channel of journalist Nobel Arustamyan.
“”Training is not so intense on the field in Russia. On average, how many people run there and how many people run here. In Europe, the statistics are much higher. Everyone fights for their position, against this background you also grow, everyone works to the maximum “We are fighting, but not to the maximum. This is not to say that they are not fighting, but I would use the expression “they are not chewing on the field,” he concluded.
Golovin is 27 years old, he has represented Monaco since the summer of 2018. In This season, the midfielder scored five goals and two assists in 15 matches.In Russia, Golovin played for CSKA, with which he became the national champion.
