Lokomotiv goalie Guillerme ready to apply for Russian citizenship

Brazilian goalkeeper Guillerme, who has been at Lokomotiv Moscow since 2007, claimed he is ready to apply for Russian citizenship.

“Is it true that you speak the best Russian out of all the Brazilians in the RPL?”

“At least out of the Lokomotiv Brazilians – after all, I’ve been here for five years.”

“Who else is fluent in Russian?”

“Maicon has been here for two years, so his Russian has improved since then.”

“Would you agree to take up Russian citizenship?”

“I would, yes. But I don’t speak the language well enough to explain all the formalities of this decision,” the 26-year-old admitted.
