“We don’t have European tournaments – it’s terrible, but to some extent it helps to keep more emotions inside” – Mikhail Kerzhakov

Goalkeeper “Zenith” and the Russian national football team Mikhail Kerjakov said that in the conditions of suspension of European competitions, football players spend less emotions.

Russian clubs and teams are not allowed to participate in tournaments under the auspices of FIFA and UEFA due to the situation in Ukraine. Zenit were supposed to play in the Champions League group stage in the 2022/23 season.

– In matches with teams in the middle or at the bottom of the table, we mainly create problems for ourselves. It’s hard to light up during the match if you don’t do it from the first minutes. Or we score a goal and relax. This should be avoided. Maybe then a perfect team will be created?

Look at a similar trend in the rest of Europe. Last season, many teams struggled in the league after games in European competition. There were draws and losses. Not enough emotions. We don’t have European tournaments right now – it’s terrible, but to some extent it helps to keep more emotions inside,” Kerzhakov told The Championship.

On September 24, the Russian national team will play a friendly match with the Kyrgyz team in Bishkek.
