Former Spartak defender Nicolas Pareja said that he was pleased to work with coach Valery Karpin in the Moscow team.
Parekha and Karpin worked together at Spartak from 2012 to 2014. The 54-year-old coach now heads the Russian national team and Rostov.
– What can you say about working with Karpin?
“It was a pleasure to work with him. We spoke the same language off the field and on the field. He loves good football and loves perseverance. I think he saw it in me, and I tried to repay with a confident game. Everything was great with him.
Is there any funny story connected with him?
— No, nothing like that. Maybe he played square with us – we ourselves asked for it. He had already graduated at that point, of course, but he still played football well. He was often in the square with me and looked great.
– Is Karpin the best Russian coach?
– He is now the coach of the national team, I am very happy for him. In Russia, he is definitely a legend. It’s good that the team is led by a person who played at a high level, – Sport24 quotes Pareja.
Now Pareja is participating in the Legends Cup tournament as part of the Latin American team, which will end in Moscow on February 12.

Former star of Real Madrid and the German national team Toni Kroos He determined the favorites of the World Cup and evaluated the chances of Brazil and Germany:
“World Cup? The main favorites are Spain, Portugal, France and Morocco. I’m not talking about Brazil, but it could happen. It’s good that a large number of teams are participating, but I am now against increasing the number of participants. We need to protect the players and the quality of the tournament. With more teams there will be obvious scores and these are not the kind of matches that fans want to see. Quality matches are important for me, not 5:0 or 6:0. Players come to the tournament tired and play more matches, the level drops a little.
Is Ancelotti in Brazil? He could have left a year ago, but he stayed at Real Madrid. I talked to him throughout the summer and wished him luck. He really wanted to coach Brazil, I hope everything goes well for him. Brazil has top-level players like Vini with valuable experience.
Neymar? The important thing is when it is 100%. He may experience a lack of rhythm in the game due to the injuries he has experienced in recent years. Now he’s injured again, he only has 6 months left. If he is fit he can help any team in the world.
Team Germany? I think Germany is always among the favorites, but not among the main ones. “I’m sure they will at least reach the quarter-finals or semi-finals, but the level is a little lower, although everything is possible in football,” he said.
