Lovchev defended Karpin: “He didn’t call for leaving Russia. That’s not the case.”

Athletistic/Football. Expert Evgeny Lovchev referred to the words of Valery Karpin, who previously advised Russian footballers to leave the country.

“According to Karpin, about “it’s time to go”. This is the same case when they grabbed two words – and let’s destroy them indiscriminately, without really understanding what the coach said. The phrase is presented everywhere like “leave Russia” – and for people who are not aware of the business and nuances of football, who have not watched the video with the coach’s words at all, it seems scandalous. This does not does not look like that. In Russia, the level of football has fallen, and for the national team must look better, show more spectacular football, the best For footballers, so that their level does not fall, they must participate in high-level championships – then the level of the national team will be higher. And all this has been interpreted and developed in such a way that Karpin seems to be calling on people to leave the country. This is not the case.

Firstly, he worked and continues to work in Russia both in the club and in the national team, and secondly, he himself never said that he was going to leave somewhere because of the situation in the world. So – calm down, otherwise there is a discussion about something that the person did not say at all and did not mean. At the same time, the coach of the national team should speak more carefully, you represent the country and every word is studied very carefully and not only in the football community, where, in principle, they understood what he meant. Sometimes it is better to be silent than to speak – I also think about the previous sentence about not retaining the position of coach of the national team,” Lovchev wrote on Telegram.
