Semin told what advice he gave to Zakharyan before the transfer to Real Sociedad

Former head coach of Lokomotiv Yuri Semin said that he advised midfielder Arsen Zakharyan to learn Spanish before being transferred to Real Sociedad.

On Sunday, Dynamo head coach Marcel Lichka said on Match TV that Zakharyan could be called a Real Sociedad player. Blue and White General Director Pavel Pivovarov said that the 20-year-old midfielder flew to Spain on Sunday to undergo a medical examination.

– I am very pleased that Zakharyan is going to such a wonderful club and a beautiful city. I told him to learn the language – this is the basis for every professional player. Without the language, it is difficult to understand the coach, teammates and generally feel comfortable in a different environment. Arsene has everything to play in the new club, he is a great player. I hope that in Real Sociedad Zakharyan will continue to progress and continue the wonderful history of Russian football players in this club! — quotes Semin Sport24.
