Russian President Vladimir Putin considers it inappropriate to remove restrictions on attracting foreign players in Russian football.
“So I again heard lately: let’s remove quantitative restrictions on the participation of foreign athletes. Well, wonderful. You are not known that since 1988 the national team (football) has not played at the Olympics? Well, not yet It will play 20 years if some foreigners work, “said Putin on Friday at a meeting of the Council on Physical Education and Sport, Interfax reports.
