“They don’t want to see Russia in Europe, then they went as far as possible,” former forward of Dynamo Kyiv

Former Dynamo Kyiv striker Serhiy Yuran, who has been working in Russia for a long time, spoke about the possible transition of his current terrorist country, thrown out of all international football tournaments, to the Asian Football Confederation.

“If you look at things in terms of the sports component, then any athlete of any sport strives to compete in the international arena. Yes, there are domestic championships, but the final stage is to go to international competitions.

If they don't want to see us in Europe, then they went away. Should we ask and beg them? Yes, never - we have our own merits. If there is an opportunity to Asia, then why not? Yes, in Europe the level is higher, but one way or another it is an international level. No need to sit and beg someone. In Asia, the majority have a normal attitude towards our country.

You need to go to Asia and you don't need to sit and wait indefinitely. They don't want to see - for God's sake. There is an option - you have to use it. You have to be philosophical about it. If there is an opportunity, then we should use it,” Yuran said.
