Valery Karpin, head coach of the Russian national team and Rostov, evaluated the next opponent of the national team in the friendly match. His words are quoted “Sports Express”.
“When you compare previous matches, you need to look at the level of resistance. The level of resistance was different in Cuba and Cameroon. A lot depends on this. It is clear that the match against Serbia will be one of the most difficult matches. But the more complex it is, the more interesting it is. But I don’t think Paraguay is much weaker,” Karpin said.
On March 21, the Russian national team will meet the Serbian national team, participating in the 2024 European Championship, at the VTB Arena. The match will start at 20.00 Moscow time.
On March 25, Valery Karpin’s team will host the Paraguayan national team in Moscow.
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.
