Russian rugby player Valery Morozov, who plays for England, talked about how he entered the international championship and how it differs from the domestic championship.
– We climbed to the top of the Russian championship with Zelenograd. Then there were three seasons with Yenisey-STM. (the strongest and most respected club in the country. – Sport24). Then I moved to Manchester, where I played for my first English club, the Sale Sharks. And there is nothing surprising in this – scouts and agents study teams from all over the world, including Russia, and then invite them to the strongest championships.
– Wasn’t it scary to change the situation?
— I knew Dima Arkhip (Moldovan rugby player. – Sport24), Who was on his way from Yenisei to Wales. And so – especially and at that time there was no example before my eyes.
It was a little scary and exciting. My name is to play abroad! Emotions are somewhere between excitement and fear. After all, in England, as is believed, the highest level of rugby.
– Are the British and Russian championships comparable in any way?
“It’s a huge, huge difference. It’s not worth comparing. How many people will come to the match in Russia? Let’s say a thousand. And the English “Bathroom” I play now has at least 15 thousand! That’s the whole difference.
If we are talking about what happens within the team, then nothing is asked of me here. I just come and do my job. And every person in his place performs tasks as well as possible. You only think about the game. They bring you boots, change nails, give you a towel. “Everything has been simplified,” Morozov said in an interview with Sport24 correspondent Konstantin Lesik.
