It is possible to build a champion team made up entirely of Russians, but it will be very expensive. If you take a player of the Russian national team level, he will ask you 20 million euros or more. For comparison, we gave 12 million for Douglas from Hamburg. The difference in salary is also noticeable.
From an economic point of view, it is more profitable to take players of Claudinho’s level than Zakharyan or Spertsyan, who will cost more than the Brazilian,” Semak said.
