Well-known football manager Dmitry Selyuk commented on the draw result of the friendly match between the national teams of Russia and Kenya. Selyuk quotes his words “RB Sports”.
“African football players are very motivated, they want to prove themselves and make a career. For example, the monthly salary of the same Jikia is more than the salary of the entire main team of the Kenyan national team. Compared to the motivated players in Africa, our players in the RPL will look like fat players,” said Selyuk.
On October 16, the Russian team drew with Kenya with a score of 2:2. Alexander Sobolev and Ivan Oblyakov scored. The Russians could only equalize in the 89th minute of the match. In this match, Karpin fielded only one player (Dmitry Barinov), who was in the starting 11 in the previous match.
The International Football Federation (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) have decided to suspend the participation of the Russian national team and all Russian clubs in all competitions controlled by these organizations in the spring of 2022. Since then the Russians have only played friendly matches.
Formerly former president of the RFU statedThat Valery Karpin is looking for a way out of the Russian national team.
