attack CSKA Fedor Chalovwho previously played for Basel, commented on the differences between Russian and Swiss football.
Football is more of an individual sport than a team sport. There are many more scouts there than the European leagues and the kids fight for themselves, for their future, to get noticed by the top clubs. The youngster would prefer to wait and not move to a top Swiss club with the risk of ending up on the bench. He will remain in an average team, but with game practice guaranteed to get noticed more often.
