Former goal scorer of the Russian national team, Dmitry Bulykin, shared his expectations for the national team’s friendly matches against Iran and Iraq. He stressed that he is waiting for the players who form the backbone of the national team to take the field. According to Bulykin, the fact that young players with little time in the team or taking place in the first 11 can be perceived negatively by the fans.
I don’t know how the players will be ready for this match. But I think everyone expects a good game and of course a good result from the national team. No one will understand if they play with a second squad or a young squad. I wish the main team to come out with bright eyes, win and all the fans have a holiday. Because regardless of club preferences, everyone will look at the national team and wait for the result,” he said.
The Russian national team will play a friendly match with Iran on Thursday, March 23 in Tehran, the match will start at 20:00 Moscow time. And on March 26, St. Petersburg, the wards of Valery Karpin will host the Iraqi national team.
