“We pay you money, close your mouth and play.” Popov on leaving “Rostov”

Sochi midfielder I published a statement on my Instagram page after transition from “Rostov”.

Dear fans. It’s time to tell your truth about the situation! Nobody wants to leave the place where he feels good, especially after taking part and having achieved such a good result with the team. Yes, I am a difficult person, in terms of the fact that I cannot sit, endure and be silent, if I notice how something starts to go wrong in the family!

People change and stop appreciating their own people, not only after defeat, but in most cases after good results! I fully understand how much dirt will pour out on me, well, it is better to die once, like a man, than to sit and endure like a mouse! Do not believe that I was negotiating behind the back of the club! My family completely arranged their life in Rostov and we all thought that I would end my career here. Don’t believe that I’m leaving because of the money! As the president of the club Artashes Harutyunyants told me personally: “You are a wild man, how will you leave for less money!” Yes, money is important, but not more important than honor and dignity!

Don’t believe that I left because of a replacement! If you look at my professional life, I have never been afraid of competition – on the contrary, when competition is fair, I repeat once again – honestly, I am ready to fight and prove completely! I had several conversations with the coach, which made it clear to me that “captain” is just a word: “We pay you money, close your mouth and play!” I apologize to everyone, well, as a person and as a captain who must protect the interests of the team and the team, I just can’t combine this word with my morality and “difficult character”!

I sincerely wish good luck to all the guys in the Europa League, and I want to tell you that time will put everything in its place! Let’s not say goodbye, but say goodbye! I am sure that we will be together again someday. Ps The fifth captain leaves for a year and a half, think.
