“Pinyaev was given a certain advance payment. The main thing is not to blow your head off” – Bilyaletdinov

Former midfielder of Lokomotiv, Everton and the national team Diniyar Bilyaletdinov believes that it is too early to talk about the prospects of Lokomotiv striker Sergei Pinyaev.

The Russian national team on Sunday in St. Petersburg in a friendly match defeated the Iraqi team with a score of 2:0. The score was opened by Anton Miranchuk in the 50th minute. Sergey Pinyaev doubled the advantage on the 58th and was replaced by the 71st. Pinyaev became the youngest goal scorer in the history of the Russian national team – 18 years 4 months 24 days.

– Much depends on Pinyaev. Let’s not call him “Russian Messi”, as they called Davydov, and then it was all over. Let the guy professionally work and develop, then there will be a result. Sergei was given a certain advance, which he slowly justifies. Further it will be seen. The main thing is that the head is not torn off.

It is too early to talk about the departure of Zakharyan or Pinyaev abroad. Yes, and the story with Zakharyan seems more football-related than concrete. Too early,” Bilyaletdinov told Metaratings.ru.

This season, Pinyaev has played 21 matches for Samara’s Krylya Sovetov and Moscow’s Lokomotiv, scoring five goals and providing three assists.
