Former Russian national team football player Andrei Kanchelskis told he didn’t understand how “Ruby” could let the defender go Ilya Samochnikov who signed a contract with Lokomotiv.
On Saturday, Lokomotiv announced the signing of a three-year contract with Samoshnikov. On Tuesday, 25-year-old Samoshnikov left Rubin Kazan after his contract expired.
– Probably, if Lokomotiv is well aware of Samoshnikov’s abilities, then the transfer is good. It is strange that Rubin entered the Premier League and let this player go.
He left at the end of his contract, but Rubin couldn’t keep him, or what? Rubin has 10 defenders. For me, this is an incomprehensible situation. Rubin enters the Premier League RPL, then practically gives a player to a competitor, about whom so much has been said and written. It turns out that Rubin doesn’t really need a player, but Lokomotiv did. Although we don’t have many defenders in Russia, it’s unclear when they are scattered.
The thing is already done. I can wish Samoshnikov and Lokomotiv good luck, but I don’t understand Rubin in this situation. Strange,” Kanchelskis told .
During the completed season, the footballer played 28 first division matches, scored two goals and made four assists. Previously, the footballer also defended the colors of “Torpedo” from Moscow, “Veles”, “Ararat” and “Shinnik” from Yaroslavl.
