Athletistic/Football. On Monday October 16, an international friendly match took place in Antalya, Turkey. The Russian team drew against the Kenyan team. The match ended in a 2:2 draw. Alexander Sobolev and Ivan Oblyakov distinguished themselves as part of the Russian national team. This result was commented on by former Zenit head coach Vlastimil Petrzhela.
– A draw against the Kenyan national team is an unexpected result, even if it is a friendly match. The Russian team is naturally much stronger than the 109th team in the world. Probably, the players just didn’t understand why they had to play Kenya. There was no motivation, because the team does not participate in any tournaments. The more the Russian national team is suspended, the more its level drops,” Petrzhela said, as quoted by RB Sport.
It is still unclear who the Russian national team will play against in November.
