Leonid Slutskiy, head coach of the Shanghai Shenhua team, commented on Krasnodar midfielder Eduard Spertsiyan not transferring to the Southampton club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Slutskiy, Spertsiyan should have moved to Southampton because Southampton is at a higher level than Krasnodar and the second tier of the English Championship is stronger than the Russian championship. According to the expert, playing in the Championship would not have been easy for Spertsiyan, but if he had succeeded, he would have had the opportunity to play in any league in the world later on.
In the current season, the 25-year-old footballer has appeared in 11 matches across all competitions, scoring five goals and providing eight assists. These results demonstrate that he is an important player for his team and inspire confidence in his potential to reach an even higher level in the future.
