Former “Krasnodar” player Maksim Demenko shared his thoughts on the reasons behind forward Ivan Sergeev's move to the capital's “Dinamo” club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to information circulated in the media, “Spartak” showed serious interest in Sergeev's services, but the player chose the “white-blue” option, which was financially less beneficial. In Demenko's opinion, the main reason for this choice may be related to the national team head coach.
He stated that perhaps Sergeev spoke with Karpin and also communicated with Stankovich. Whether the decision was right or wrong will be shown by time, but it is not unlikely that this decision is related to the national team coach.
Currently, Valeriy Karpin holds two positions: he is not only the head coach of Moscow “Dinamo” but also the head coach of the Russian national team. Performing these tasks simultaneously may have increased his influence on the team.
Time will also show what results this decision will bring for the player's future and performance.
