Engin Fırat, the coach of the Kenya national football team, said that his country will not react to the friendly match that the national team will win against Russia. He shared his opinion with him “Sports Express”.
“Kenya is a country that knows nothing about football and therefore does not respect it enough. We won the Asian Championship in Qatar and nobody cared. Nobody would care if we beat Russia because Kenya is not a football country. “In any neighboring country, a monument to my name would be erected in the city center for the victory over Russia,” the expert said.
The Kenya-Russia friendly match played at the Titanic Mardan Stadium in Turkey on October 16 ended with a score of 2:2. The African team’s goals were scored by Anthony Akumu (16th minute) and Masoud Juma (37th minute). The Russians got goals from Alexander Sobolev (8th) and Ivan Oblyakov (89th).
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.
Previously Euphrates selected two Russian football players.
