State Duma Deputy Roman Teryushkov in an interview with RB Sport accused The head coach of the Russian national team, Valery Karpin, is not a patriot.
According to him, the 52-year-old expert’s statement that Russian players should leave the Russian Premier League (RPL) seems unacceptable for now.
“The RFU trusted Estonian Karpin by inviting him to the position of head coach of the Russian national team. Karpin had a lot of fun with this post: “He encourages our athletes to go to countries that are not friendly to Russia, he dissolves the national team by calling 50 people for duty, it reduces the motivation of the players in the national team and reduces the positive attitude towards domestic football,” Teryushkov said.
On September 12, the Russian team drew with Qatar in a friendly match. The meeting ended with a score of 1:1. The goal of the second half was opened by Ahmed Alaa, the 30-year-old striker of the Abu Cairo Samad club. Following the corner, 26-year-old Samara Krylya Sovetov defender Alexander Soldatenkov scored the return goal in the 90th minute.
Previously Valery Karpin statedThis does not prevent him from retiring from football before the end of 2023.
