Glushakov views the decrease in the number of legionnaires positively

Denis Glushakov, a former midfielder of the Russian national team, positively assessed the initiative of the Ministry of Sports to reduce the number of legionnaires in Russian Premier League clubs. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to the project, the number of legionnaires will be reduced not only in the overall list but also in the main squad. According to Glushakov, he is not against legionnaires but is in favor of quality legionnaires.

It is important for them to be four or five on the field, but they must be masters of their craft and serve as role models for young players. He also criticized many clubs for bringing in low-quality players instead of real footballers, which is hindering the development of Russian youth.

In the near future, the number of legionnaires in the lists of Premier League clubs will be reduced from 14 to 10, and only five legionnaires will be allowed to participate in the main squad. These changes are expected to have a positive impact on the growth of young footballers.
