The Celta press service has made several publications on the social network dedicated to the former player of the team Valery Karpin. Also, the Vigo club mentioned another former Russian footballer: Alexandra Mostova.
Karpin has scored important goals in some of Celta’s historic matches. As part of his country’s national team, he played at the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan as a player for Celta. He also had a loud and flamboyant personality which got him into trouble more than once, but gave Celta their competitive gene which brought them back to European competition more than a quarter of a century after their European debut. Russian Valery Karpin ranks 32nd in the number of games played for Celta. In the late 90s, he formed a dream duo with another Russian, Alexander Mostov.
