For Russian team in the suspended conditions of international tournaments, any fight is extremely important, but meetings with rivals from Latin America, where there are strong teams, would be particularly useful, the former national team defender told Victor Keyru .
On Saturday, the Russian national team’s training camp began at the Novogorsk training center, which will last until June 11. The June 9 and 11 team Zoran Lukic will play two friendly matches with the national team of Belarus.
– Now the national team has young people who, as soon as the situation changes, will have to represent the Russian team at international tournaments. So you have to train, play well, maintain the level of play in practice matches.
What is the importance or not of the next matches against Belarus? It’s a rhetorical question. As practice matches, you can play matches with any national team, including the Belarus national team and other teams you might play with now. Maybe with teams from Latin American countries. I just don’t know if the RFB has any sort of dialogue on this. Not aware of this issue. But the teams from Latin American countries are very strong and would be good training partners.
But I think all matches of the Russian national team are now very necessary. After a while it will play, and again we have to prepare for it. After all, now we have young guys there, they haven’t played for the national team yet and they have to play well in order to build a team for the future,” Keyru told a correspondent. .
Last year, the IOC recommended that international federations prevent Russian and Belarusian athletes from competing due to the situation in Ukraine.
