Dude loks like an authentic descendant of hte original Indo-Aryans. I don't like to call him FSU though as he's basically American trained.
Sadly doesn't matter citizenship wise. Yura can't play for the US but Zac Whitbread* can. *Zac Whitbread's parents are British, lived in the US for two years, Zac was born there and then moved to Singapore.
They equal that hes just a good player benefiting from being on a mediocre club and hes there only option so he gets whatever. Kinda like a FSU Jeremy Lin
In some situations yes you have to have some skill obviously but it can make you look alot better than you really are.
it does work that way sometimes. I remember Sergei Andreev in early and mid-80s. He was, perhaps, the best Rostov player ever. Moscow clubs tried to get him, Lobanovskyi tried to get him - to no avail. The great thing about Andreev was that he was so much better than anyone on his very mediocre SKA Rostov-na-Donu club that everything went through him. No other player in the Soviet Elite league scored a higher percentage of his club's goals than he did.
