Former USSR national team player Alexander Bubnov, while sharing his thoughts on the skills and potential of Lokomotiv leader Aleksey Batrakov, made unpleasant comments about Real Madrid's Turkish footballer Arda Guler. Sport24.az reports that Bubnov spoke about this on one of the programs he was a guest on:
"Batrakov is better than Guler in terms of thinking and decision-making. He works like a computer! Everyone, even foreign experts, has noted this. Who is our stronger fighter? Guler or Batrakov? I don't even take into account goal-assist indicators yet, damn it. Guler is resting there! Batrakov just needs to pass, there are enough players there who score goals.
What is 20 million for Juventus or Real? 20 kopecks! They bought Guler, but not Batrakov. Batrakov is stronger than Guler!"
It should be noted that although Batrakov's name has been mentioned with various European clubs for some time, he has not yet been able to leave Russia.
