The head coach of the Peschanokopskaya Chaika, Igor Semshov, told RB Sport that the transfer of CSKA midfielder Jorge Carrascal to Dynamo is possible if he is considered as a player of the main team.

– Do we need Dynamo Carrascal? It depends on what position Lichka sees him in, – said Semshov. – If Jorge is considered as a player of the main squad, then he will be bought. It makes no sense for the clip to take such a player, he should play in the first team. I think that Dynamo is not in a hurry with transfers, because the backbone remains and it needs targeted strengthening in order for new players to be useful.

– Will the lack of match practice affect Carrascal lately?

– Of course, Dynamo is afraid of this. It’s not just about playing practice. A lot can affect – the psychological state, attitude in the team. Probably, Dynamo checks, finds out everything about Carrascal. It is important that the team has a healthy atmosphere.

The Colombian has been playing for the Red-Blues since the winter of 2022. In the 2022/23 season, 25-year-old Carrascal played 34 matches for CSKA, scored six goals and made six assists.

The new season of the MIR RPL starts on July 21 with the Dynamo-Krasnodar match. Match TV will show live three matches of the first round: Lokomotiv – Rubin (July 22, 17:15), Akhmat – Sovetov Wings (July 22, 19:45) and Sochi – Baltika (July 23, 19:45).

It’s time to allow Russian football players to participate in international tournaments – Dzyuba

It’s time for Russian footballers to step onto the international scene in connection with the return of athletes from other disciplines. This opinion was expressed by the striker of Togliatti “Akron” Artem Dzyuba.

“In general, the Russians have been repatriated in almost half of the disciplines. It’s time to bring us back,” Dzyuba said. — I feel sadder for the kids, the current generation, the young players who have to compete with their European and world peers. And they suffer, they play with each other. With Belarus they go to Thailand and elsewhere.”

“This generation is missing out, I want them to play the Champions League, Europa League, qualifying matches, to feel what it’s like. Because it’s an unforgettable feeling when you play in the European arena,” Dzyuba added.

On 11 December the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee (THAT IS) recommended that sports federations allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate in youth competitions with the flag and anthem. At the same time, in the statement THAT IS It is underlined that the recommendations of March 28, 2023 on the participation of adult athletes from Russia and Belarus remain in force and will be revised if necessary.
