Roman Shishkin, former football player of Moscow football clubs Spartak and Lokomotiv, believes that the friendly match between the national teams of Russia and Iran will not change the course of domestic football. Transmits words “Championship”.
“It doesn’t change anything. The situation in football today was and remains hopeless. Still, the nature of the friendly match is this: it is unclear what the composition and motivation of the players of both teams will be. It will be a bit difficult psychologically to play against any opponent in the current situation here,” said Shishkin. .
Iranian media reported the possibility of the match being postponed, citing the team’s head coach, Mehdi Tahja. Presumably, the meeting will take place between March 20-28. The women’s teams of Russia and Iran will also play among themselves.
