KAZAN, October 1, Adela Ziatdinova. Midfielder of the football club » Krasnodar Ilzat Akhmetov said that players can develop in the Russian Premier League (RPL), but this happens faster in the European championships.
Earlier, the head coach of the Russian national team, Valery Karpin, said that Russian football players need to leave the RPL for foreign clubs, if possible.
«»Well, of course, when you play in a stronger league, you progress, reach that level, it's logical. But I will say that here too it is possible to progress in every match, to give your best in training. I think there it’s easier and faster,” Akhmetov said.
“Of course, I would like to try my hand (in strong leagues), but the task now is to gain a foothold here and prove myself further,” he added.
On Saturday, Krasnodar, the leader in the Russian championship, won with a score of 2:0 over Rubin Kazan in the match of the tenth round of the RPL.
