Midfielder Russian national football team Ivan Oblyakov believes that the match against the Kenyan team cannot be called a failure.
In October, the Russian team led by Valery Karpin defeated the Cameroon team (1:0) in Moscow in friendly matches and tied with Kenya (2:2) in Antalya.
– A match with Cameroon? The feeling was the most pleasant, we beat a good team, the match was not worse and in some places we looked better. Everything went well with Cameroon: the atmosphere, the fans, the support. I won’t say that the match against Kenya was a terrible failure. I think we could easily beat them at home. Didn’t they play football in this game? I did not mean it. Maybe they got some details wrong; the picture from the outside seemed different.
— In the current situation (without international tournaments), are you not giving up?
– No. I started getting called up to the national team not long ago. There is a desire to come and show the country that we want to win. You go to every match, there is always motivation. Everything was going well for me and for Kenya, but I wanted to win. We always go to the field to win, in matches for the national team you are super motivated,” Oblyakov said on the show “Loud!” on .
