How appreciated the initiative of a number of clubs to reduce the salaries of players?
Sandor Varga: is Very positive. I remembered the story of 2006, when Juventus were relegated from the top division, and Buffon, Nedved and Del Piero not just left in the team, and played for half. Such actions are worthy of respect. Do football players get so much. So they are required in such complicated situations as the present, to attend and to help other people.
“Zenit” has agreed with players on lower wages
As clubs make plans for the summer transfer period? We can say that all the work in this direction is now suspended?
Sandor Varga: Problems arise now. For example, my player Tamas Kadar had recently graduated from the Kiev “Dynamo” in the “Shandong Luneng”. He’s already got Chinese visa, but cannot fly there. Strange to hear this from the agent but I would recommend to managers at all clubs to send energy to the education of their own youth. Need to pay more attention to these guys to build an Academy.
How does it, for example, “Krasnodar”.
Sandor Varga: Exactly. But world football’s top clubs rarely pay attention to their Academy. Pandemic coronavirus is occasion to reflect. And instead of buying players from around the world, to watch their children. This is useful not only for football but for the entire world to pause and rethink certain things. We become cleaner, more responsible.
One suggestion FIFA – merge summer and winter transfer Windows. Is this possible?
Named the deadline for the resumption RPL
Sandor Varga: Now the FIFA and UEFA would consider different options. My close friend Arsene Wenger did all his life believed that two of the transfer window for the year is a bust. And I agree with him. Football and coaching into shopping in the supermarket: who’s got a lot of money – that will get more. A very bad trend. Wenger himself often suffered from such things. Remember how in 2006 Chelsea behind Arsenal have held talks with Ashley Cole. In the end, his agent Jonathan Barnett was stripped of his license, and Chelsea fined.
Another initiative FIFA – creation of Fund of assistance to clubs who are faced with financial problems.
Sandor Varga: you Have to understand that many teams were not very good with finances before the coronavirus. But I am sure if you approach this situation reasonably, in a balanced way you can save the club. If you have good intentions, fan base, sponsors.
According to Leonid Fedun, Spartak will lose in a month 500 million rubles for the forced pause. Our teams will cope with this crisis?
Sandor Varga: respect Fedun. He has so much energy and money invested in “Spartak”, which certainly is very much about all of this. But again: if the players, management, fans and sponsors will be at the same time – the situation can be saved. Now we are all tested. And most importantly – the health of the people.
Let’s talk about one of your players – Fyodor Clove. How do you see the ideal plan for its future?
“Spartak” rented a plane for decided to return home player
Sandor Varga: Chalov – well done. At this age to get an offer from the club “crystal Palace” of the English Premier League in the amount of 25 million pounds, to attract the attention of one of the best coaches in the world – a sign of quality. With regard to planning or thinking about the future, in football, impossible to control it. But I am glad that in Russia there are talented guys. And they, I am sure, will aspire to go to Europe. Of course, there will be those who will want to go to China or Saudi Arabia to earn more money. In General, however, the Russians will focus on top 5 European leagues.

last Summer, Yevgeny Giner said that, in his view, Chalova is too early in Europe. Is that so?
Sandor Varga: Slightly disagree with Giner. I’m friends with him for 30 years and have great respect for what he has done for the Russian football. If all your clubs were the leaders, as Giner – football in Russia would have developed faster. Now, returning to the Chalova. I know very well Roy Hodgson. And I can say – Chalova would favor to work with such a professional. Hodgson coached the England, inter, Liverpool. He led to the Europa League final a team like Fulham. Yes, “crystal Palace” – it is not Arsenal or Manchester city. But Fedor would have made a big step forward. While we respect the position of CSKA. The army did not want to let go of his leading striker. This shows that Giner thinks about sports success, not financial.
Let’s objectively: in the “crystal Palace” in our attacking play Wilfried Zaha, Jordan ayew, left, sits ex-striker Liverpool Christian Benteke. Sure Chalov would be in the starting lineup of this team?
Sandor Varga: do you think the “crystal Palace” would pay 25 million pounds for the player to put him on the bench? No, of course. Transfer Chalova would be a record in the history of the club. That says a lot.
Sandor Varga: the “crystal Palace” retained interest Chalova
Interest to Hodgson Chalova preserved?
Sandor Varga: Course.
And does not bother him a clear decline in the game Fedora?
Sandor Varga: We regularly communicate with Roy. Chalov scored 29 goals or ten – it figures. But if a big club is interested in you, then looks not only at the statistics. Maybe the player has scored this season is smaller, but brings the team more good. It needs an integrated approach. Especially if you’re willing to pay the player big money, as is the case with Fedor.
