Alexander Tikhonov, the first coach of the Lokomotiv midfielder Dmitry Barinov explained to Sport24 why the footballer should continue his career in Turkey.
– Barinov should go to Besiktas and play in European competitions. If he was younger, I would advise him to stay in Russia, but now Dima is in top form. He gave his all to Lokomotiv.
The club’s management understands that he will soon be able to leave for less money. So let him play in Europe! The Turkish league is now stronger than the RPL. Moreover, Dmitry is a professional and always chooses the sports component. He wants to play in a solid team and prove himself in European competition.
The world is currently in a difficult situation. It is difficult for any Russian footballer to play in Europe. Turkey is an opportunity for quality Russians like Barinov to play in the Champions League and the Europa League.
I’m sure Dima will star in “Besiktas” . He is super versatile. With me, he played as a striker, then as a full-back, and at Loko, in general, as a defensive midfielder and central defender. He is a real fighter with a bright head, who is also appreciated by our team coach Valery Karpin.
Barinov spares neither himself nor his opponent on the pitch. He is completely dedicated to the game. If Besiktas wants to achieve results, then he is a footballer for all club tasks. The time has come. Dima, it’s time to go! said Tikhonov.
