MOSCOW, Aug 9 Rugby player Valery Morozov playing for English club Worcester «, said that in England they are wary of the Russians. Morozov has been performing in England since 2018.
"Maybe they are afraid to tell me something here because of my size. Perhaps the Russians are simply afraid here, in England this is also practiced. If they find out that you are Russian, then the expression on the face of the locals changes a little. There are different stereotypes about Russia here. But personally, the attitude towards me is absolutely normal, human. People understand everything. What attitude can the British have towards me if I am a professional athlete? Why should I be treated badly?" — Morozov said in an interview with & # 34; Match TV & # 34;.
«Two Russian rugby players are playing in England now — me and Kirill Gotovtsev. We have never encountered the fact that we are somehow oppressed. Normally ourselves We feel it here. There are no questions for us. But we've been playing here for some time. It's hard to get guys out of Russia here now. One person told me that the guy was refused, because there will be questions why you are signing Russians at this time. It's a pity that the guys can't come,» Morozov added. The 27-year-old Morozov has 33 matches for the Russian national rugby team.
