"I don’t regret anything," Dejan Lovren told The Athletic when asked about his move from Liverpool to Zenit Saint Petersburg in 2020.
"When I took my decision, it was the right thing to do at that moment with that state of mind. I cannot say, 'Ah…'.
"It’s like saying after the draw has already taken place, '‘Why didn’t you circle the correct lotto numbers?', as if you knew that was going to happen. It doesn’t work like that.
“I’d say I miss the fans more than anything," Lovren added. "It’s been a sad moment for them with the COVID situation and not being able to support their team inside the stadium. That’s what I really miss seeing when I see Anfield on TV.”
Lovren might have a senior centre-back for Liverpool this season had he not left for Russia last summer. As he rightly points out, though, there was no way he knew what was going to happen with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.
Now, Lovren is a Russian Premier League champion with Zenit, having played 21 games and scored 2 goals.
