“My position on the limit has not changed.
I remember the USSR national team, in which there was not a single legionnaire, in principle - they won the Olympics twice, the European Championship-1960.
Soviet footballers did not set themselves the task of getting out of the group - they went out and fought for medals.
This is a success, and the legionnaires who come here only hinder the development of the national football system and the training of domestic football players from an early age, ”Sport24 quotes Teryushkov.
He noted that it is always easier to take ready-made material than to prepare high-quality personnel yourself.
In his opinion, it is better to educate many of your players, even if you have to go nowhere for ten years.
“I don’t like legionaries in principle.
I want to cheer and support my boys who play in our yards and youth sports schools.
Why should I look at guys with a foreign passport? "
- said Teryushkov.
He also stressed that it is necessary to make changes in the system of training coaches in Russia.
At the moment, the RPL has a limit on foreign players according to the "8 + 17" scheme.
Thus, each team can enter no more than eight legionnaires for the season.
Earlier, the State Duma called the abolition of the limit the murder of the Russian national football team.
