Miodrag Bozovic, former head coach of some clubs in the Russian Premier League (RPL), shared his views on the 2022 World Cup held in Qatar.
I did not see anything surprising in Qatar. Many favorite teams have already left the tournament. It was a bit of a shock that the Spaniards went home. I thought they would make it to the semi-finals. Germany flew both in Russia and here – a serious setback for them.
The tournament in Russia was better, you had the atmosphere of football, not all politics, as now. Unfortunately, politics is affecting football more and more,” expert quotes “RB Sports”.
The 2018 World Championships were held in Russia. The winner of the tournament was the French team, which defeated Croatia (4:2) in the final.
