Bibras Natkho believes that the best days of his brother Amir’s career in the Barcelona system have not yet arrived

Midfielder Amir Nathan can still bring his career back to a serious level if he finds the right team in two years, footballer’s cousin tells Bibras Natho .

Amir Natkho has been playing for SKA-Khabarovsk since September 2022, on Wednesday the club announced their separation from the 26-year-old midfielder. Natkho was in the Barcelona, ​​CSKA, Krasnodar and Lokomotiv systems. After that, the footballer played for Romanian “Viitorul”, Belarusian BATE, Estonian “Nymme Kalju” and “Levadia”.

– From time to time, Amir and I are in contact. After joining the Barcelona academy at the age of 17, his career clearly went downhill. But I think his best days are yet to come, Natkho told .

– Do you really mean it? He changes teams every season. And just recently I came to see Alania, although in September I signed a contract with SKA-Khabarovsk.

– Why not? He is talented. He is only 26 years old, age still allows him to find his place. If in the next two years he finds his team, then everything will be fine.

– Why often the career of talented footballers declines with age?

– If we talk about Amir, then very young, he ended up in Barcelona, ​​he was at his best. And the return to Russia certainly affected him. Perhaps he did not fully understand the lengths he had to go to prove his worth in Russia. Coming back from a team like Barça, you are considered a rising star. For a young man, it is difficult psychologically. We expected a lot of him. There were a lot of nuances why it happened that way.

The 2022/23 season in Russia will resume with the FONBET Russian Cup matches in February. Broadcasts of matches of the RPL and the National Cup can be viewed on the federal channel “”, as well as on the thematic channels of the holding company and the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
