Dmitriy Bulykin, a forward for the Russian national team and the Dynamo club in the capital, expressed his thoughts on the participation of young Russian footballers in the country's clubs. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, in Europe, players are already considered experienced at the age of 18-19, but here, instead of young Russians, foreign players are put on the field. Bulykin emphasized that more trust should be placed in young Russians.
At the same time, he mentioned that after the purchase of low-quality legionnaires, club management does not admit to making mistakes. According to current regulations, clubs in the Russian Premier League can field up to 8 foreign players in the main squad, with a total of up to 14 foreign players allowed on the roster.
Last season, the capital's Lokomotiv and the Dynamo team from Makhachkala stood out as clubs that placed the most trust in local players. This is considered an important step in developing local talent and providing opportunities in the game.
The attention of clubs to young and local footballers is essential for the future of football in the country. Only in this way can quality and competitive teams be formed.
Moreover, quality and caution are also of great importance when utilizing foreign players. Developing local players should be a priority task to establish a competitive league.
