Sergeev preferred "Dinamo," the reasons are clear
The transfer of Ivan Sergeev to the Moscow 'Dinamo' club has been finalized. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He specifically chose 'Dinamo'. We need to explore the reasons for his choice of this club.
For Sergeev, moving to 'Dinamo' was a logical decision. This option seems to be the most suitable for continuing his career.
Some may ask, "Why exactly Dinamo?" since there are other strong clubs in Russia. Ivan Sergeev could have played for 'Zenit' as well.
However, he had already been with this team and won all domestic trophies. Therefore, it is natural to look for a new challenge.
Moreover, at 'Zenit', foreign players might be preferred over Uzbek footballers. For example, Jerson did not come to sit on the bench.
'Spartak' also showed interest in Sergeev's services. There, Ivan could have been a key player for the team, providing a solid defensive anchor.
Sergeev plays effectively from the wing, provides good passes, and has an excellent football sense. However, perhaps he found the conditions at 'Dinamo' more appealing.
Theoretically, 'Krasnodar' and 'Lokomotiv' could also have been interested in Sergeev, but this is probably less likely. 'Krasnodar' does not want to change its squad much, especially with Cordoba in it.
The Russian player does not want to sit on the bench. 'Lokomotiv', on the other hand, is not competing for the World Championship, only playing for medals.
Why did Sergeev choose 'Dinamo'? First of all, the team's head coach Valeriy Karpin has a good relationship with him.
Recently, Ivan has played in the main squad of the Russian national team. In the matches against Nigeria and Belarus in June, he took to the field in the starting lineup.
'Dinamo' is a perfect middle ground for Sergeev, where he will compete for trophies with the team and the risk of sitting on the bench is low. Additionally, there is an opportunity to leave his mark in history with 'Dinamo'.
Moscow 'Dinamo' has not been the Russian champion, with the last championship trophy dating back to the Soviet Union era. Winning the championship with this club is fundamentally different from winning it with 'Zenit'.
Furthermore, 'Dinamo' last won the Russian Cup in 1995. Any trophy will engrave Sergeev's name in the history of 'Dinamo' in golden letters.
One of the main reasons for Ivan Sergeev's transfer to 'Dinamo' is the trust that head coach Karpin has in him. If a player has a choice, he prefers to work with the national team coach.
This is crucial for the future of the team. Overall, Ivan Sergeev's transfer to 'Dinamo' makes the team's games in the upcoming season even more interesting.
This decision is a correct and reasonable choice for his career.
