Alexei Igonin, the former defender of Zenit and the Russian national team, commented on the call from Moscow Spartak to the main team of the eight-man national team. The expert stated that many Russians played in the red-whites and that the 10-time champion of Russia in the future could become the main squad for the national team.
“Considering that the Russians now play for Spartak, of course they have more chances in this sense and more representatives in the national team. Focusing on names and virtues is one thing. However, in the national team, as a rule, the coach looks at the current situation and how ready the players are, whether they play or not. In this regard, there is a high probability that Spartak will become the basis of the national team, ”said Igonin socialbites.ca.
Spartak goalkeeper Alexander Selikhov, defenders Georgy Djikia, Daniil Khlusevich and Daniil Denisov, midfielders Anton Zinkovsky, Danil Prutsev and Ruslan Litvinov, and striker Alexander Sobolev were called up to the next training camp of the Russian national team. At the same time, Denisov and Prutsev received a call to the Russian national team for the first time.
The training camp of the national team begins on March 19 at the Novogorsk base near Moscow. On March 23, the wards of Valery Karpin will play with Iran in Tehran, and on March 26 in St. Petersburg, the Russian team will play a friendly match against Iraq.
