Golenkov on his relationship with Komlichenko: “I won’t say that we are friends, but we have healthy competition”

Rostov forward Egor Golenkov said that he is not on friendly terms with Nikolai Komlichenko, but there is healthy competition between the players.

Golenkov has scored six goals this season, Komlichenko has four goals.

— You took the chance when Komlichenko was injured. Can’t you chew out a place in the base with just training?

— Everything influences, a lot depends on training. But you can train well and not show anything in games, you need to confirm everything in matches.

— What is your relationship with Komlichenko in life?

— Good, respectful partnerships. I won’t say that we are friends, but we have healthy competition.

— Last year you almost got into a fight in Orenburg when you didn’t give him a pass. How did you resolve the issue later?

— We went into the locker room and exchanged a few words. It was all emotional, this often happens in football, even in training, nothing like that,” Metaratings.ru quotes Golenkov as saying.
