Former footballer “Zenith” Andrey Arshavin expressed the opinion that currently in Russia there are no longer such strong players as before.
— Your generation made noise on the international scene, you personally joined London Arsenal, other footballers also moved to Europe. How were you different from modern players?
— I think that in March or April 2008, even before the bronze medal at the European Championships, no one said about our generation that we would “shoot”.
– But it happened differently.
— Yes, there was a memorable performance at the European Championship, Zenit’s victory in the UEFA Cup and Super Cup. Why is the situation so bad now? “It’s just that there are no longer such strong players as before,” Arshavin said according to Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
