Former Portuguese midfielder “Sepahan” Manuel Fernandes said that the Russian football championship is more competitive than that of Iran.
The 37-year-old Portuguese played for the Iranian side from July 2022 to July 2023.
– In my opinion, the Russian league is more competitive, of higher quality compared to the Iranian league. Just like the team. The fact that the Russian team is suspended from international competitions is of course a problem, Fernandes told Metaratings.ru.
Fernandes played for Lokomotiv from 2014 to 2019, played 144 games in which he scored 34 goals and had 29 assists. Also in Russia, the midfielder played for Krasnodar.
