Former Magnitogorsk head coachMetallurgist” Ilya Vorobiev told that legionnaires receiving Russian citizenship seek better conditions for themselves, there is nothing wrong with that.
Previously, a number of foreign players from KHL clubs received or expressed a wish to obtain a Russian passport in order to lose their legionnaire status in the league. In particular, American Dynamo striker Brennan Menell has already received the document, Amur defender Cameron Lee and SKA striker Brendan Leipsik from Canada are also applying for citizenship.
– Some legionnaires began to take Russian citizenship. Menell received sports and can now play for the Russian national team. What do you think of this, what will it give?
– If the soul is lying, then it’s fine. If, for the show, to play longer here, then it’s a little different. This is life, the fish looks where it is deepest, and the person looks where it is best,” Vorobyov told .
