Footballer “Zenit” Glushenkov himself asked Karpin not to call him to the national team

Forward of St. Petersburg “Zenit” Maxim Glushenkov himself asked the head coach of the Russian national team Valery Karpin not to invite him to the November national team. About it reports “Championship” with reference to a source familiar with the situation.

According to the interlocutor of the publication, the football player now does not want to play for the national team and personally reported this to the mentor. Karpin has repeatedly stressed that he does not intend to summon players against their wishes during the period of international suspension.

In November, the Russian team will hold two friendly matches. Karpin's team will face Uzbekistan away and then play Venezuela on home field.

Earlier, Glushenkov was predicted a place at the heart of Barcelona instead of Rafinha. This opinion was expressed by the former Director of the Academy “Chertanovo” Nikolai Larin. He believes that Glushenkov is already able to claim a place at the heart of the Catalan club. He associates his opinion with the performances of the Russian in Zenit and draws an unusual parallel with the situation in the Brazilian national team.
