Izidor: “I constantly say: “Everything is fine in Russia, come if you can find yourself a team”

Zenit striker Wilson Izidor said that his ideas about Russia turned out to be simple stereotypes that have no basis.

The 23-year-old Frenchman moved to Zenit in September on loan from Lokomotiv.

— From France it seems that Russia is very far away, that it is a very cold country, and people here smile little and are constantly sullen. And I had the same stereotypes about Russia before moving here. But now I’m convinced for myself: you have wonderful people and it’s not that cold, it’s quite tolerable.

Many people don’t have a very good idea of ​​Russia, but when I talk to guys who played in France, I always say: “Everything is good here, come, if, of course, you can find a team.”

Given the way the season started and my current form, I accept my status as a rotation player. But if it’s like in Lokomotiv, where I scored 10 matches in a row, but continued to remain on the bench, I’ll ask the question: “Coach, what’s wrong? I don’t understand”.

Mbappe said very well about this in an interview: “If you play well, then everything will be fine. If not, then you should just shut your mouth and sit on the bench.” And I’m in exactly this situation right now. If I play well, I’ll start playing more,” the Match TV website quotes Izidor as saying.
