Valery Gladilin, former head coach of the Russian youth team, former football player and coach of Spartak Moscow, shared his expectations from the friendly match to be played between the Russian national team and the Iraqi national team. According to him, the tutelage of Valery Karpin in this meeting will display a more aggressive attitude than the game played with Iran.
Iran is one of the leading teams in Asia, stronger than Iraq. I think with Iraq we will have a more offensive, more flamboyant football. On defense, Karpin probably won’t change much – and there is no one to change, nothing to invent. And on offense it will probably be a completely different game besides the home game. “I think it will be a completely different quality of football,” he said.
The friendly match played between the Iranian and Russian national teams in Tehran on Thursday, March 23, ended 1-1. Both goals came from penalties. Anton Miranchuk scored for the Russian team, Mehdi Taremi scored for Iran. On Sunday, March 26, St. The Russian team will host the Iraqi team in St. Petersburg.
