Former owner of Moscow “Spartak” Andrey Chervichenko criticized the Russian national team for the quality of the game in his control match with the Iranian national team. Transmits words Metaratings.ru.
“It’s a shame for Valery Karpin because unlike the players he takes everything seriously. He understands why this is happening, but can do almost nothing. Previously, he could “scratch the ears” of players, for whom playing for the national team is an opportunity to shine in the international arena. Now there is no such possibility,” said Chervichenko.
The match took place in Tehran on March 23 and ended with a score of 1-1.
On Sunday, March 26, Karpin’s St. Petersburg’s wards will play with Iraq. The starting whistle for the teams will sound at 18:00 Moscow time.
Recall that in the spring of 2022 the International Football Federation (FIFA) and the Association of European Football Associations (UEFA) decided to exclude the Russian national team and all Russian clubs from participation in all competitions controlled by these organizations.
