The specialist admitted that no one expected this from a Russian.

Kovacs called Golovin a great player and a good person.

He made it clear that he is not yet very familiar with the playing qualities of the midfielder, since he has missed many matches.

“I was disappointed when our doctors told me that Golovin's return would have to be postponed.

He feels better, but we are not in a hurry, we will act step by step.

It would be too dangerous to release Golovin on the field from the first minutes right now.

No, we will gradually increase his playing time.

He is an important player for us, our goal is to protect him, ”the Monaco website quotes Kovacs.

Earlier it was reported that Sergei Kiryakov urged Golovin not to pay attention to comparisons with the tsar.
