Athletistic / Football. Former Russian national team footballer Dmitry Bulykin shared his opinion on why Europeans choose Ukrainians over Russians.
Bulykin does not believe that the Ukrainian school of football is stronger than the Russian school. There is nothing but politics involved here. A Russian passport puts off potential buyers.
“I don’t think the Ukrainian school is stronger. It’s just that the political situation has changed. Now it is difficult for a footballer with a Russian passport to go to Europe. But before, in our championship, we had such salaries that no one moved anywhere. And the only league that could outbid the salaries was – it’s the Premier League. But footballers have no desire to join an average club in England. salary lower than that of Russia bought for 100 million euros? How much will Kostya be bought for? You can say different things, including that he has no price. However, 20 million euros. are quite an adequate price for Tyukavin But it will be very difficult for European clubs now. Of course, we are all on the fence. But as soon as they find out about the Russian passport, all questions immediately disappear. with a foreigner from the RPL You have to understand the international situation. “, said Bulykin.
Only three Russians are currently competing in the top 5 of the European Championships. These are Golovin, Miranchuk and Zakharyan. Ukraine has many other such actors.
