Sergei Yuran considers the behavior of legionnaires to be disrespect for Russian football
Famous to the strikes of legionnaires in some RPL clubs. In particular, he commented on the situation in Dynamo - one of the club's leaders, Bitello, did not show up for the winter training camp .
"I have played in four countries and have never seen a legionnaire not want to return to the club. We have simply spoiled the legionnaires. They view Russia from the point of view of financial earnings. As loan database as we do not participate in European competitions, it is clear to everyone why they come here. We give great privileges, almost blow away the dust. And they came, looked, earned some money and begin to behave like this. This is such disrespect for Russian football! We need to blow away less dust before signing and sign the contract more strictly in order to keep the player within some limits. What do you mean you don't want to play? You have a signed contract! You need to think about it.
When I work, before signing a contract, I always talk to the legionnaire personally. You need to understand the player in conversation: how determined and willing he is. Until we begin to respect ourselves, this is how it will be. Why cry now? We need to draw conclusions. It is clear that Bitello is no longer an assistant. Maybe his agent is pulling his strings to bring down the transfer fee. We need to start with ourselves. And do we need so many foreign players at this stage? We don’t have European Cups. We have young players, so we need to give our guys a chance. There is a good example with Batrakov: last season he played for Lokomotiv-2, and then the coach gave him a chance. And we have a lot of such boys. Sometimes we just need to be heard. My generation lost for 10 years in European championships. When we say something, it’s not something we found in a book, but something we have gone through ourselves. There must be self-respect,” Yuran said in an interview with the “Championship” correspondent Yegor Kabak.
