Pogrebnyak said that the possible departure of Malcolm is a loss not only for Zenit, but also for the RPL

Former Zenit football player Pavel Pogrebnyak believes that the possible departure of the Brazilian football player Malcolm will affect not only the level of play of the St. Petersburg club, but also the entire Russian Premier League (RPL).

Earlier, the media reported that the Saudi Al-Hilal had agreed on the transfer of Malcolm. The Brazilian, who also has Russian citizenship, was offered a contract until 2026 with a salary of 18 million euros a year.

– If he still leaves, then this is a loss not only for the St. Petersburg club, but for the entire championship. Such legionnaires once or twice and counted. I would really hate to see Malcolm leave the Premier League. But everyone understands what a temptation it is for a player to earn 18-20 million euros a year. The football player cannot be blamed here, because he can provide for himself for many years to come. As for our championship, I will repeat once again: without Malcolm it will be bad for everyone, Zenit in particular. Moreover, the future of the Brazilians Wendel and Claudinho is in question. And yet I think the management is aware of all these potential transfers and will find a worthy replacement, although it is not easy to find such performers.

– The transfer of Mario Fernandez to Zenit was really scandalous. How did you react to this?

– He is provided with a warm welcome in Moscow. A person likes to play under pressure – it’s great (laughs). We are waiting for his debut for Zenit. Really a quality boost. Plus, Fernandez has a Russian passport, which was important when deciding on his transfer, Rossiyskaya Gazeta quotes Pogrebnyak.

In the 2022/23 season, Malcolm made 33 appearances for Zenit in all competitions, scoring 26 goals and seven assists. The Brazilian was recognized as the best player and the best striker of the past season.

In the first round of the MIR RPL, Zenit will play on the road with the Nizhny Novgorod PARI NN. Watch the live broadcast of the meeting on July 22 from 15:10 Moscow time on the MATCH PREMIER TV channel, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.

Zhurova believes that PSG has no problems with Safonov and Zabarny

French team Paris Saint-Germain shouldn’t have any problems as the Russians play on the same team Matveya Safonov and Ukrainian Ilya Zabarny. This opinion was expressed by the Olympic speed skating champion, deputy of the State Duma Svetlana Zhurova.

Previously, Minister of Youth and Sports of Ukraine Matvey Bedny he called on the French club to resolve the situation, which, in his opinion, is inconvenient.

“All soccer players are professionals,” Zhurova said. “In my opinion, this situation is inconvenient only for Ukrainian officials, who constantly try to add fuel to the fire PSGnor did the players themselves express any complaints or report any discomfort. Accordingly, there is nothing to fix here. The club itself knows how to do better.”

Zabarny moved to PSG last summer. Safonov has been playing for the Parisians since last season.

Calls to remove Russia’s partners sound like desperation – Svishchev

Requests by Ukrainian officials to impose sanctions against Russia’s partners after the renewed admission of Russian athletes to competitions do not find understanding and seem like a gesture of desperation. This opinion was expressed by the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports Dmitry Svishchev.

Former president of the Ukrainian Football Federation Andrei Shevchenko called for sanctions and the removal from participation in sports competitions of representatives of countries supporting Russia.

“These are already some gestures of desperation. Our athletes are increasingly allowed to participate in international competitions; there are no conflicts or boycotts. Athletes even communicate with each other, this does not bring negative consequences. The appeals of Ukrainians to remove our athletes from every part of the world no longer find understanding among appropriate sports officials. Therefore, such appeals already seem desperate,” Svishchev said.
