“Zakharyan did not play due to illness, but now he is gradually returning to the game. In the second half of the season, we can expect him to start playing in the starting lineup. He is now moving on through the adaptation process, which is a difficult period, especially given the need to master the Spanish language. After the new year, he is expected to participate more actively in the team’s matches. Will he be able to resist to compete? Time will tell. Real Sociedad has excellent players who have already gone through this process of adaptation and integration. Zakharyan has to go through that. If the club acquired him, then, he sees talent in him.
As for a possible return to Russia, I doubt it. I am sure he will succeed, he is a talented footballer. Talented players always have a chance. I don’t think a club that has invested so much money will rent it in a few months. It would be an unreasonable and irrational decision,” Barbosa said. This season, Zakharyan has played nine matches for the Spanish club without scoring a goal.
