Athletistic/Football. At the moment, the Russian national team only plays in friendly matches. It is not possible to qualify for the World and European Championships due to exclusion from tournaments under the auspices of FIFA and UEFA. At the same time, midfielder Dmitry Barinov said that he does not accept the fact that he will not be able to participate in the world championship.
– I have not accepted the idea that I will no longer play at the World and European Championships. I believe there will always be some. I am at a good age, God grant that my health allows it. I certainly haven’t given up on that. Of course, there is nothing better than playing for the national team in such tournaments. Well, and the Champions League. What is faith based on? The fact that whatever is happening now will end soon. I believe it and I hope it. And after that we will be allowed in, all bans will be lifted,” Barinov said, as quoted by Championship.
