Honorary President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Vyacheslav Koloskov shared his views on the reasons for the decision of the head coach of the Russian national team, Valery Karpin, to invite eight Spartak Muscovites to the training camp and friendly matches in March at the same time.
“Karpin has his own vision of tactical formations. Who will he take from us today? Only foreigners play in Zenit, Dynamo is unstable, Lokomotiv somersaults.
In Krasnodar again there are only foreigners. Rostov plays unconvincingly. Spartak is the only team that plays consistently. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in this, ”quotes Koloskov “Euro-Football.Ru”.
The Russian national team will play two friendly matches as part of the preparatory camp. The team will play with Iran in Tehran on March 23 and will play with the Iraqi national team in St. They will meet in St. Petersburg.
Recall that FIFA and the Association of European Football Federations (UEFA) decided last year to exclude the Russian national team and all Russian clubs from participation in all competitions controlled by these organizations.
Former former striker of the Russian national team Dmitry Bulykin spoke About calling the first-time players to the national team on the eve of friendly matches with Iran and Iraq, and about the possible participation of the national team in an international friendly tournament under the auspices of the Central Asian Football Federation.
