Former coach of the Russian national team Igor Korneyev shared several memories from his playing career. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Recalling his first training session at "Barcelona," he said: "I immediately passed the ball through the rectangle field, slipping it between his legs. I knew he was trying to break my legs.
Then Ronald and I would always live together on trips." Korneyev played one season with the Catalans in the mid-90s.
He moved from "Espanol" to "Barcelona," but after failing to establish himself in the main squad, he went to the Netherlands league and ended his career in 2003 with "NAK Breda." It was here that he also began his coaching career, working with the youth team of "Feyenoord."
His work focused on educating young footballers. Igor Korneyev's experience as a professional footballer and coach provides valuable lessons for the younger generation.
He has always emphasized the importance of team spirit and hard work. Throughout his football career, he has demonstrated himself not only on the field but also off the field.
