State Duma Deputy Dmitry Svishchev gave advice to AS Monaco midfielder Alexander Golovin after the club tried to ban the athlete from flying to the match of the Russian national team with Slovenia in Sochi. His words are quoted by “Championship.com”.
Svishchev said that Golovin is one of the best players in Russia, so he must play in every match for the national team. In his opinion, the footballer needed to take a more active position. “He should be attentive to whether he wants and can play for Russia, carefully read the terms of the contract,” the deputy said.
