Valery Karpin, the head coach of the Russian national team, said after the friendly match against the Serbian national team that it is impossible to seriously analyze the past match. His words were quoted by socialbites.ca.
“Personally, I do not want to exclude anyone. You can evaluate and analyze in just 20 minutes, but is it necessary to do this? I think this is wrong. I liked it very much, we can say that it could have been better. But I liked the desire, the mood. They did everything that needed to be done and they did it.
I miss such an atmosphere, such intense matches. It’s clear that everyone misses that when it comes to playing in European cups and playing in qualifying tournaments. It is a pity that we were not selected anywhere,” Karpin said.
The match, which took place at the VTB Arena stadium in Moscow, ended with the score of 4-0 for the Russian football players. The goals of the match were scored by Anton Miranchuk, Maxim Osipenko and Alexey Miranchuk, who converted the penalty. In the 88th minute, Arsen Zakharyan sent the fourth ball to the Serbian goal, but the goal was canceled due to Ivan Sergeev being offside. However, already in stoppage time, the author of the scored goal became Sergeev himself.
The Serbian national team was in the minority in the 21st minute after CSKA Moscow defender Milan Gajic was sent off.
