Grigory Ivanov, President of the Russian Premier League (RPL) Ural club, was outraged by the criticism of the salaries of domestic football players. His words are quoted by “Sport-Express”.
“Why do you pay such money to employees of large companies? We just have extreme footballers. It is outrageous that other athletes criticize us. So why didn't you go to football yourself? Don't look into someone else's pocket, ”Ivanov counted. In his opinion, football is a difficult sport, with many risks and injuries. The head of Ural also added that there are players who stop trying, and it is necessary to ask them more strictly.
