The former head coach of Lokomotiv and Dinamo Miodrag Bozovic listed three main problems of Russian football. His words are quoted Sports24.
“The first is the lack of games in Europe. There is no longer a way to compete with the best teams in Europe, and this is necessary for the development of Russian football.
The second is refereeing. It was and remains so and still stands out. And most importantly, there are no new talented players. “I cannot say that many good football players are trained in such a big country,” he said.
Since spring 2022, Russian clubs and national teams have not played in international tournaments due to suspension. Spartak and Zenit could not participate in the Europa League play-offs in 2022, and the national team could not participate in the World Cup.
Krasnodar entered the winter break as the leader in the Russian Premier League (RPL) with 38 points. In the 18th round, Vladimir Ivich’s team defeated CSKA with a score of 1:0. Zenit is in second place with two points missing. Dinamo (32 points) completed the top three.
