“I can imagine Malcolm and Claudinho in the Russian national team shirt” – Gordeev

Zenit players Malcolm and Claudinho will strengthen the Russian national team, but another question is how much is needed now, said Russian coach Andrey Gordeev.

Earlier, information appeared in the media that Malcolm and Claudinho were given permission to obtain Russian passports.

– These are stagnant times for football. If two Brazilians will benefit the Russian team, then I have a positive attitude towards the naturalization of the players. It’s probably not bad that foreign players have a desire to play for our country. They will 100% strengthen the national team and correspond to the level of our team. But another question is how much is needed now. On the one hand, this is good for Zenit and you can safely call them Russians, ha ha. I can imagine them in the Russian national team jersey, while Mario Fernandez played for us. If we talk about competition, I think that now they do not block the road for anyone. This is some kind of movement, but I don’t see more here.

Patriotism is an important feeling during national tournaments, but the level of a football player is no less important. Yes, when the national anthem sounds, a completely different story and mood for the game. Let’s see what happens. If they have a sense of patriotism, this will only help them,” Gordeev told Sport24.

Malcom has been playing for Zenit since 2019. The 25-year-old Brazilian has scored 15 goals and provided seven assists in 23 games this season.

Claudinho, 26, has made 19 appearances for Zenit this season, scoring three goals and providing eight assists.

The Russian football season will resume on February 22 with FONBET Russian Cup matches. On March 3, the WORLD RPL draw will continue. Watch live broadcasts of RPL matches and the Cup of the country on the Match TV federal channel and the thematic channels of the holding, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.

Bulykin named the position that Spartak needs to strengthen

Former Russian national football player Dmitry Bulykin expressed his opinion on how Spartak could strengthen during the winter window.

What kind of player does Spartak need in the winter transfer window? First of all, another goalscoring striker. They are already in a good position and can fight for the championship, but due to the atmosphere in the team there were disagreements.

Now we need a good coach who unites them with a single goal and task. If I were in Spartak, I would find another goalscoring striker in the winter and fight for the championship.

Amorim explains Casemiro’s surprise substitution against Newcastle

Mentor Manchester United Reuben Amorim he said he replaced the midfielder Casemiro during the 1–0 win over Newcastle United because he felt the Brazilian would “struggle” with the intensity of the second half.

Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte formed United’s midfield duo in the absence of Bruno Fernandes, who missed the match with a hamstring injury, but Amorim replaced the Brazilian with Leni Yoro in the 61st minute.

After seeing his number on the substitution board, Casemiro pointed to himself and was disappointed with Amorim’s decision to replace him so early in the match.

Asked to explain Casemiro’s substitution, Amorim replied: “At that moment I didn’t want to shoot [Матеуса] Cunho because he is the only one who allows us to be creative and I put him in position number 10. Jack [Флетчер] it was fresh and could continue, Manu [Угарте] he was cooler than Casemiro. In the end we decided to replace him because they were making a lot of quick passes and I felt that at that point he would have difficulty.”
