The sports director of Krylia Sovetov, Sergey Kornilenko, told RB Sport that he considers Samara forward Vladimir Sychev, Alexander Sobolev from Spartak and Konstantin Tyukavin from Dynamo to be the best forwards in Russia.

– How did the club protect itself from the fact that the coach Osinkin was not taken away by the RPL rich clubs?

– Igor Vitalievich has a long-term contract with the club with good conditions. At the moment, there is no talk of the coach leaving.

Was the psychological state of Nikolai Rasskazov difficult after Spartak?

– No, from the first day in our team, his psychological state was excellent.

Did you take it for free?

— Yes, the transfer was zero.

– You were in the Cup final a few years ago. Do you want to win a trophy?

We dream about it. We would like to be in the final.

– There are more and more foreigners in the team. How did the club protect itself from leaving on a contract suspension?

– Foreigners are happy to sign an additional agreement. I think all clubs prescribe it. For all the moments when foreigners could leave, no one left.

– Why are there more and more foreigners in the RPL?

— I would not say that there are more of them than before. It’s just that the level is slightly different – if you take the top five, the level 6-7 years ago was higher than it is now. There are no more foreigners, just the quality has become a little lower. And so, we have a great example of Rostov, which plays only with the Russians.

— Is Sychevoi one of the top 3 best forwards in Russia?

– Yes, it does. My troika is Sobolev, Sychevoi, Tyukavin.

Krylya Sovetov will play CSKA away on March 14 at 16:30 Moscow time.
