– I came to the Tallinn “Sport” in 1986, there was a very young Valera Karpin, – recalls Valery Viktorovich, who has lived in Tallinn for a long time. -So he was not yet 17 years old, the previous coach wanted to expel him, they say, he is still very young, why does he need it? And I liked Valera with something, I couldn’t say what. I went to “Sport” and left Valera.
What do you think of his career as a coach?
– I cannot say that Valery is my student, but I can say that I contributed to ensuring that a very good football player Karpin first appeared in Russian football, and then a good coach.
– What would you like to wish the birthday boy?
– Cheers, the rest will gnaw with their teeth.
