Former CSKA and USSR national football player Vladimir Ponomarev evaluated the level of Russian national team players before the friendly match against Serbia. He shared his opinion with him “RB Sports”.
“It is difficult to say that the Russian team can beat the Serbians. We don’t have any interesting players. There is no one to look after. Oblyakov is the best midfielder and Chalov is the best striker. A little poor.
It will be an interesting match against Serbia. Fans miss matches like this. “We will be able to evaluate the performance of the Russian team in the match we will play against Serbia and see what we can do,” he said.
The match will be played at Dinamo Stadium on March 21. Serbia and Russia have faced each other six times in their history. Russians have three wins, the Balkan team has one win. Two more matches ended in a draw. The teams last met in November 2020 as part of the Nations League. Then the Serbian team won a crushing victory with a score of 5:0.
In the spring of 2022, the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) decided to suspend the participation of the Russian national team and all Russian clubs in all competitions controlled by these organizations.
In 2023, the Russian national team played six friendly matches and won three against Iraq (2:0), Cameroon (1:0) and Cuba (8:0).
