Athletistic / Football. Former Russian national team midfielder Vladimir Bystrov harshly criticized the national team for the result of the friendly match against Kenya. The day before, October 16, Valery Karpin’s team drew (2:2) against the Kenyans.
“They talk about the game and say, ‘We saved ourselves.’ We started putting our shoes on and getting familiar with the ball.
The Russian national team had a second team for this match. Please prove that you have a great chance for this. And they just walked across the field… Why did that happen? And you have to ask them this. Oblyakov says: we played our game, everything is going well for us. What game is this? Can we call this a game? It’s a nightmare, just a kind of horror. In 90 minutes, you moved a little on the pitch.
I generally stay silent about mistakes. Against a team like Kenya, we usually have to beat them and win by a score of 3:0 or 4:0.
The Miranchuks crossed the field. Jikia missed this match. Two central defenders are terrible. Everyone has long wanted to see Leshka Miranchuk. We watched. He is sitting on his bench in Italy, but he cannot play football with Kenya,” Bystrov said, as quoted by Match TV.
In October, the Russian team played another friendly match with an African team. On October 12 in Moscow, the Russians defeated the Cameroon team with a score of 1:0.
