“Yuran jokes a lot, defuses the situation, finds an approach to everyone” – PARI NN defender Shnaptsev

PARIS NN defender Maxim Shnaptsev said that the team’s head coach Sergei Yuran has a good sense of humor and can find an individual approach to each player.

Shnaptsev joined the Russian youth team to prepare for matches against Brazilian teams. The Russians’ rivals will be youth teams SKA Brazil (October 12), Palmeiras (October 13), Santos (October 14) and Red Bull Bragantino (October 16).

— You always want to beat the Brazilians. I always dreamed of playing with them, comparing my level. There are 28 Brazilians playing in the RPL. I would like to know why they play and not ours. The mindset is to win 100%.

It is interesting to know what kind of football mentality Brazilians have. How technical are they? I want to look at their stars.

Before leaving, they wished me good luck at PARI NN and gave me instructions. Is Yuran a strong motivator? The atmosphere in the locker room is different with him and without him. He jokes a lot, diffuses the situation, and finds an individual approach to everyone. I think he is a very good specialist. The team feels much better with him.

Ze Turbo? He’s the only one with that last name. He knows five languages, but we communicate with him in English. He wants to learn Russian, but it’s difficult. Ze Turbo is European and loves to joke. He’s an excellent person, I like him,” RB Sport quotes Shnaptsev as saying.

Watch matches of the Russian youth team on the channels of the Match TV holding, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
