The head coach Russian national team Valery Karpin during a friendly match with Kenya saw that many football players do not correspond to the level of the national team and will draw conclusions, a former Spartak player said on MATCH PRIME Andrei Tikhonov .
The Russia-Kenya match took place on Monday in Antalya, Turkey, and ended with a score of 2:2.
— I watched football. Very impressed. Even Valery Karpin said that he now understands where and how he should move. Some of the players who played yesterday should not be part of the national team. I won’t mention names. With the next call-up to the national team, we will understand who should be there and who should not.
Our strongest players should play in the national team. Why couldn’t the national team play two matches with their strongest team? And if they were friendly matches.
Karpin said the players were motivated. But he found that many players failed to make the national team. He just doesn’t say it out loud. I worked with Karpin, played and trained with him. He is demanding and a fan of his work. And he didn’t let anyone down in the match either,” Tikhonov said on MATCH PRIME.
