If the former CSKA defender Yuri Zhirkov puts an end to his career, the Moscow club must carry it out with dignity, says the ex-coach of the Russian national football team Sergei Balakhnin .
Earlier, Zhirkov, who turns 39 in August, told he wouldn’t rule out ending his career in the near future, although he has offers including RPL clubs.
– Does Zhirkov deserve a contract with CSKA for a game for a farewell match?
– I think so. He has done a lot for the club. Such a dignified person must be led with dignity, – Balakhnin quotes “Sport day by day”.
– Should Zhirkov end his career?
– It depends on how he feels, how healthy he is, how he will get better. But the fact that he is a respected and worthy footballer is unequivocal. He proved it with his career.
– If there are no offers from the RPL, does it make sense for Zhirkov to play in the Premier League for a year?
It’s hard to give advice. It should come from him how ready he is for it. The fact that he is a player of the highest class is unequivocal. He can also play in the RPL and the First League.
Zhirkov has been playing for Khimki near Moscow since January, having played three matches for the team. The footballer is a five-time champion of Russia, champion of England, winner of the UEFA Cup. With the national team, he became the bronze medalist of Euro 2008.
