Zenit goalkeeper Mikhail Kerzhakov noted that he was not ready to start a coaching career, even at the headquarters of his brother, Alexander Kerzhakov.
– If your brother calls you as a goalkeeping coach?
– I will not go.
– Wow.
Why should I be a coach now? It’s got to be learned. Training and playing are two different things. Plus, right now I don’t see myself as a coach. No, I can, let’s say, go to YouTube, dig up a million exercises and alternate them. But the coach is about something else. This is a calling. This is very delicate work. Let no one take offense at me, but I have worked with many goalkeeping coaches and not everyone has this calling. A lot of people do it for show. In one team, I had a coach who simply gave exercises, while he himself went to the podium and watched. For me it was crazy! If you are doing this, you must give your soul, sacrifice something. But this is not given to everyone, ”Sport24 goalkeeper quotes.
