Former Russian national team player Vladimir Bystrov commented on the words of national team coach Valery Karpin, who said that he did not stay in his post. Bystrov’s words “Sport Express”.
“Journalists and ministers heard what Karpin said about his absence from the national team. People started talking without reading the entire interview. He didn’t mean that he didn’t care about the national team. Karpin did not say that. And they began to present it as if it were! Allegedly, if it doesn’t hold up, let it fall. Brad!” said Bystrov.
Recall that Valery Karpin, in a recent conversation with reporters, admitted that he did not occupy a place in the national team and in the club. After that, his words caused a storm of public debate. Oleg Matytsin said that the coach must decide whether he is with his country.
On March 23, the Russian team drew with Iran with a score of 1: 1. On March 26, St. Petersburg, the Russians beat the Iranian team with a score of 2:0.
Leonid Slutsky, former head coach of CSKA and the Russian national team commented Karpin’s statement that he doesn’t take ownership of his job.
