Former Dynamo Kyiv and Shakhtar Donetsk player Andriy Kanchelskis, who has been living in Russia for a long time, spoke about the current realities of Russian football.
"I've been saying for a long time that after we were suspended from the European cups, we need to return to the "spring-autumn" scheme, and that's right. But you realise that non-football people are in charge. How can you communicate with them? Therefore, we need to switch, the sooner the better.
On such frosty days, of course, no one wants to come. It is cold, uncomfortable. A fan should enjoy the game, but here we are having a rest in summer, and in winter we are playing at minus 15. I myself was not enthusiastic when I played in such weather. I wanted it to be over quickly and go home.
We will not participate in the European Cup for another 10 years, so we need to switch to "spring-autumn", one hundred per cent," - quotes Kanchelskis Metaratings.
We shall remind you that in the first days after rf's attack on Ukraine, russian football was expelled from all international tournaments both at club and national team level.
