Coach of the Russian national team Valery Karpin you need to understand your status and follow what he says in the media and how he says it, Dmitry Svishchev, chairman of the State Duma committee on physical culture and sports, told .
In March, the Russian national team played two friendly matches: on the 23rd in Tehran, they drew with the Iranian team (1-1), on the 26th in Saint Petersburg, they beat the Iraqi team ( 2-0). Before the game against the Iraqis, Karpin, when asked about a possible resignation in the event of a defeat, said that he did not retain his place in the Russian team. Later, Sports Minister of the Russian Federation Oleg Matytsin called on the specialist to decide whether he is “with the national team or alone”.
– From what I understand, Valery Karpin is in his place and will continue to work. The fact that he periodically makes rather harsh and resonant statements is yes. He should probably watch what he says and how he says it in the media. Yet he leads the national football team and voices the opinion of the national team in a particular sport all over the country.
Knowing Oleg Vasilyevich Matytsin, I can say that he is a very sober, very tactful and intelligent person. To provoke him to a few reciprocal remarks, you have to persist. But I don’t see anything tragic in what happened. I think everyone has come to their own conclusions. Believe me, chances like this come once in a lifetime. Leading a national team is a great honor for any coach. Therefore, Karpin has to hold on, and only the success of our team will allow him to hold on,” Svishchev told a correspondent.
