“And if they tell us to sit and wait for five years or even more?” - Russian ex-football player of Dynamo Kyiv

The former footballer of Dynamo Kyiv and Dnipro, Russian Andrey Yeshchenko, advocates the transition of his country's football from Europe to Asia. Recall that now Russia, as a terrorist country, has been expelled from all international football competitions.

“I have already said that Russian football needs to move to Asia as soon as possible. Play, progress, develop children's football, grow your players. We need to play at the international level - there should not be a long downtime.

What is sport for anyway? That's right - play and compete. And if they tell us to sit and wait for five years or more, then what to do next? It’s better to play at least somewhere than to sit and wait for an indefinite amount of time, ”Yeshchenko quotes "Championship".

Recall that Yeshchenko played in Dynamo Kiev from 2006 to 2011, and in the same period he defended the colors of Dnipro, as well as Kyiv Arsenal, on loan.
