Ex-defender of “Rostov”: “Karpin explained: “If you play the fool, there is no point in being here. Look after yourself”

Former Rostov defender Alexander Mukhin told Sport24 about the instructions of the team’s head coach Valery Karpin.

– Kafanov noted how Karpin changed his attitude towards the young, how he devoted himself to the development of their mentality. Have you noticed these changes?

– Karpin constantly gathered young people – both at the training camp and in the season. He talked to us about everything. He explained: “If you play the fool, there is no point in being here. You are all talented, everyone has something of their own. But success will come to you only through work. And he repeated, directly repeated: “Watch yourself.”

What is your weakest quality?

– I do not remember that Karpin paid attention to this. But before I was told about the loss of concentration. The defender must be in the game all 90 minutes, not fall out at all.

Mukhin, 20, plays for Ufa and this season has played 2 matches in the MELBET First League and 1 game in the FONBET Cup of Russia.
