“It’s better to remove one foreigner”: Oreshchuk on the closure of second teams, transfer market trends and the fate of Dzyuba

“It seems to me that Dziuba will go abroad”

What are your expectations for the summer transfer window?

The market only opened on June 1st.

And as such, the transitions have not yet been made.

Many players whose contracts are ending have become free agents.

Most of the players at the moment were taken by Rubin, but these are guys at the level of the Football National League.

True, Kazan now and the FNL team.

As annoying as it sounds, that's life.

And we need to move on.

- And what are the prospects for RPL clubs?

- It's really unclear.

Because we are unlikely to bring good foreigners, medium ones are also difficult, but bad ones ... I hope the teams think of it and won't take them.

It’s better to raise your guys, to untwist.

Well, there can be many internal transitions.

What about FNL players?

- Hardly.

First of all, youth and transfers between clubs.

I see two main trends.

- Latin Americans also do not want to play in the RPL?

They will go if they are paid good money.

Let not everyone, but many will agree.

Here is another problem, everyone wants to be paid in dollars and euros.

And today we have one course, and tomorrow it will be completely different.

The clubs want to fix this money, but the players don't.

And also the question is how to get out of this situation.

- It turns out that you can’t guess at all how the teams will strengthen ...

Yes, this is the hardest one.

You do not understand which market is open to you and which is closed.

- Now a number of RPL players have announced their departure from their clubs.

For example, Artyom Dziuba and Zelimkhan Bakaev.

How long will they be determined with a new place?

- All contracts are usually until July 1.

And at the moment they are officially still in the team.

Therefore, if we talk about some transitions, then not earlier than June 15th.

But in fact - after the expiration of the contract, on the 2nd or 3rd.

But usually, when the club realizes that a player is leaving, there is no point in keeping him.

Why pay extra money when you can save half a month's salary.

- Do you think Dzyuba will go to Fenerbahce or stay in the RPL?

For some reason it seems to me that he will go abroad.

Not the fact that it is in Fenerbahce.

It can be not only Turkey, but also the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, and Asian countries.

Why not?

He is a good forward.

Maybe play a little more and make some good money.

In Russia, it is unlikely that he will be offered the same money that he received at Zenith.

But in other countries they can.

- Given the crisis, Russian teams, even if they want to, will not pull such a salary.

- I'm talking about this.

Well, there's also the issue of motivation.

If Artyom is ready to fall and not fight for high places, then you can stay.

But I think that it is not in his style to lower the bar and he will look for an opportunity to go abroad.

- Another high-profile departure - Zelimkhan Bakaev?

- This is the only player in the RPL whose fate is not interesting to me.

"Fedotov is in great demand today"

- In limbo, many players are also due to the incomprehensible situation with the coaches in the teams.

Do you agree?

Of course, a lot depends on the teacher.

For example, I am very upset that Sandro Schwartz left Dynamo.

I really liked his work.

An excellent specialist, everyone in the team took a liking to him.

And his demands were understood.

Now I need to find a new mentor.

- This is problem?

— Yes, it is difficult.

We can't look at foreigners now.

And there are not so many Russian qualified coaches who are able to show results on the market.

Today it is necessary to give a chance to less experienced specialists.

There is Vladimir Fedotov from Sochi, his contract is ending, and he is in great demand.

Southerners will try to keep it.

But the leading clubs want to see him at home.

Therefore, in this situation, I think we need to trust our Russian guys, so that later, when, God forbid, everything calms down, there will be no questions why we invite foreigners, and do not call our own.

Seize the moment, we will further develop our market.

Now is a very good opportunity.

- Boris Rotenberg, after winning silver medals, said that Sochi would try to fight for gold as well.

Is this possible with existing players?

- To assess whether this statement has a basis, you need to be inside the team.

But the fact that the club needs a serious strengthening for this is unambiguous.

If we compare the positions of the players of Zenit and Sochi, then almost on each of the St. Petersburg players, the performer is at least half a head stronger.

There are two or three players of the same level, but for the most part, the blue-white-blue lineup is better.

So, you need to take the players of the level of "Zenith".

The first question is whether Rotenberg is ready to spend money, and the second point is that you can’t bring such high-quality foreigners to Russia anymore.

The market has narrowed.

That's why the statement is interesting... Petersburgers are definitely not going to give up their players.

In addition, there are many other clubs, and CSKA is also not averse to interfering in the fight for medals, and Krasnodar fired at its youth.

There is a very interesting team there.

- Will they come?

Someone will be back.

They have valid contracts with Krasnodar, they have nowhere to go.

"Closing the second teams is stupid"

- Now two teams have closed at once: Spartak-2 and Kazanka.

Where will these players go?

- By age, they no longer go to the youth team, so they will fill the FNL-1 and FNL-2.

There is now a lot of competition.

But if we talk about the decision of the clubs, then this is stupidity at the moment.

It is better to remove one or two foreigners from the first team and develop young players than to close Kazanka or Spartak-2 and at the same time buy foreign players when we do not play in European competitions.

- That is, they need a small budget?

- The maintenance of, say, "Kazanka" takes a maximum of 100 - 120 million rubles.

And the striker is bought for several million euros, and this is already more than 200 million rubles.

Well, Lokomotiv has no forwards now?

There is.

You can also attract young Russian guys who played in the same Kazanka.

- It's just that it also contradicts the declared strategy of Lokomotiv for the development of its youth ...

Well, ask them why they do it.

Sooner or later, you will still have to answer for your actions.

- How negatively will the disbandment affect the guys?

- Still, they had a goal - to prove themselves and get into the first team.

And now you need to go to the same club on a different, more difficult path.

The path to the RPL for them is significantly lengthened.

- Do scouts look after the FNL?

- Oh sure.

And now especially, the RPL needs recharge.

There are not so many players who can strengthen the Russian championship, but they still appear.

There are plenty to choose from.

Look at SKA-Khabarovsk.

The team performed successfully and already three people have moved to the Premier League.

- Can we say that Rubin's lack of a second team led to a failure at the end of the season?

- Kazan had a normal composition.

They were in no way inferior to Krasnodar.

Why it didn’t work out, you need to dig inside.

Here, most likely, psychology played a role.

We lost a couple of times, the coaches did not say the right words, they could not cheer up the team, the players did not find motivation in themselves.

Many things.

- Where do you think Hamid Agalarov will go, whose Ufa also dropped into the FNL?

- It's hard to say, because, as I understand it, the club wants a lot of money for him.

And that's okay.

But it is not clear which clubs will want to pay this money.

Therefore, it is difficult to predict anything.
