Striker “Rostov” Nikolai Komlichenko told that he had a great desire to play in the March friendlies for the Russian national team.
In March, the Russian national team has scheduled two friendly matches: on the 23rd – with Iran in Tehran, on the 26th – with Iraq in St. Petersburg. At the moment, the contracts for the games have not been signed. Komlichenko joined the extended national team.
– Soon the Russian team will start collecting. What does head coach Valery Karpin say?
– Nothing. We haven’t talked about the team at all. Before that they were talking about the match with PARI NN in the league, now they are talking about the match in the Cup.
– What do you expect from the matches against Iran and Iraq, if they take place?
– It will certainly be interesting with Iran, they played at the World Cup. And with Iraq it’s usually great – we haven’t played at home in front of our fans for a long time. I’m sure there will be a good atmosphere in the stadium.
I really want to play for the national team, this desire is 200%. To start, you just need to get into the final squad, and only then think about the goals. And then I tell you now, what if I don’t understand? Komlichenko told a correspondent.
In March 2022, FIFA and UEFA suspended Russian clubs and the Russian national team from participation in all international competitions.
