“It is important not to engage in a substitution of concepts. Being age-related athletes, they perceive football as a work and a means of achieving personal success, and not as a sport of highest achievements. For example, 98% of top-level athletes are disappointed in life after retirement. They lose the opportunity to realize themselves. So, as long as there are forces and means, they will fight for the opportunity to earn and be in business. They will not agree on less. For two, or even three years, they will still be delayed, ”Safonov explained.
