Zhirkov said that he received offers from the teams of the First League

Former midfielder of the Russian national football team Yuri Zhirkov said that he received offers from the MELBET-First League clubs, but has not yet decided on the decision to continue his career in professional sports.

Zhirkov played for Khimki for the second half of last season, he played three matches for the Moscow Region team and did not score. The 39-year-old is currently a free agent.

– Have you finished with big football? Don’t know. Before that, I once said that I had finished with the national team, but then I had to play. I don’t know how things will turn out.

I don’t know about Medialeague, they seem to be starting soon. They call in different teams, but so far there is nothing to say. There were offers from the FNL, but I never talked to anyone about this, to be honest. Suddenly, in six months, they will call me to play, in the same Tambov or somewhere else. Do I rule out that I will play in the First or Second League? Let’s see how I play here. And then I’ll come home, I’ll get tired … Of course, I still want to play. But sometimes something goes against your desires, – Zhirkov is quoted by Match TV from the Legends Cup, where he plays for the Russian national team.

Zhirkov is a five-time champion of Russia with CSKA and Zenit, an English champion with London’s Chelsea, a UEFA Cup winner, and also played for Dynamo Moscow and Anji Makhachkala.
