"I hadn't even heard the stories about Cherchesov." A Tobol player confessed about his experience with the Kazakh language.

The defender of «Tobol», Ivan Miladinovich, stated to “RB Sport” that he finds it difficult to learn the Kazakh language, as reported by Sports.kz.

However, he mentioned that he hasn't faced any issues with journalists, unlike Stanislav Cherchesov.

— Cherchesov had problems with journalists because they asked questions in Kazakh. How do you find Kazakhstani journalists?
— I haven't had any issues with them. I haven’t really interacted with Kazakhstani journalists. But they are good people, warm-hearted. I wasn't aware of the stories regarding Cherchesov.

— Are you learning the Kazakh language?
— I know four languages aside from my native one: I speak Russian, Spanish, English, and Bulgarian very well. I always try to learn the language of the country where I play, but Kazakh is proving to be challenging for me. I've tried, but the language is quite difficult, to be honest. It’s hard to pronounce certain words, although I do know some. For now, it’s tough to have a conversation with anyone.
