Goalie”Krasnodar » Matvey Safonov told that he wants to play for the Russian national team in the next matches against Iran And Iraq .
On March 23, the Russian team will play a friendly match with Iran in Tehran, and on March 26 – with Iraq in St. Petersburg. Safonov entered the extended national team roster for the March training camp.
– What do you expect from these two matches for the national team?
– I want to play. I’m not sure that will be the case, but I want to play for the Russian national team at international level. I want this.
– The level of Iran and Iraq is higher than those with whom we played in the fall. What kind of football will we see in our team performances?
– There will be incredible dedication, because the national team has few matches, few opportunities to play on the international stage. I think the main characteristic will be dedication. I don’t see any other options than to give the best to everyone in the team,” Safonov told .
In March 2022, FIFA and UEFA suspended Russian clubs and the Russian national team from participating in all international competitions.
