Mostovoy: “It will not be easy for Zakharyan in Spain, I went there already as a star”

Former football player of the Spanish Celta Alexander Mostovoy said that midfielder Arsen Zakharyan will not be easy to adapt to Real Sociedad after moving from Dynamo Moscow.

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.

Of course it won’t be easy for him. Still, Zakharyan leaves there in the rank of a young promising football player. I went there in the status of a star: I was already the champion of the USSR, I played in France, in Benfica. So the comparison is inappropriate.

Zakharyan is a young, strong football player. But he will face difficulties. He will see what competition is. There is an interesting championship, where each player is individually strong. Much will depend on him, on the coach. We have seen many times: he came to one team – sits, in another – plays, – RB Sport quotes Mostovoy.
