Midfielder Lokomotiv Dmitry Barinov talked about how he could go to “Zenith”.
– At some point, rumors send any young top football player to Zenit. Before the start of last season, they said that you have such an option. Was it tempting to think about it?
– I have there was an offer Zenith. I spoke with the head coach of the team, with Semak. It happened when I had already agreed to extend my contract with Lokomotiv.
On the day of the renewal of the contract, Semak called me. I talked to him for about five minutes and said that I would not move anywhere, this is my home, I have my family nearby, I stay at Lokomotiv.
Whatever the conditions, I will not say them, but that was, yes.
– You know how to refuse easily?
– This is hard. Probably, if I have promised, I will remain with my opinion. But sometimes you can’t refuse, ”Barinov said in the Football of Russia program on the Russia 24 channel.
