Anton Shunin, goalkeeper of Moscow Dynamo and the Russian national team, shared his views on the match against Asian teams. Transmits words “Championship”.
“I don’t even want to get into it. There are those who understand how our sport will develop. But of course, when we came to Tajikistan and played on an artificial field that was not of very high quality, the contrast with Europe was great. Naturally, it is very nice to play with full stands on the elegant fields of England, Spain and Italy. We play with people we can play with. For fans of Asian countries, our visit is a holiday. Of course, for all of us in the national team, it is more pleasant to play in Europe, ”said Shunin.
