Kritciuk is not indifferent to the suffering in Ukraine and calls for peace in the world.
Stanislav Kritciuk, Russian goalkeeper representing Zenit, left a message on social networks on Thursday regarding the invasion of Ukraine. Well known in Portuguese football, with spells in Braga, Rio Ave, Belenenses and Gil Vicente, the 31-year-old goalkeeper appeals for peace.
“All these days, like many of us, I feel restless in my heart. I could find an excuse: ‘sport is not about politics’ and focus on training. But it’s just an attempt to deceive us. Because I am not only a footballer, but also a man, a citizen, a father, a son. And I am against anyone suffering and dying. Peace for the world , every human life is a value. I was taught that since childhood,” he wrote on Instagram.
