Former coach Russian national team Igor Korneev on he said he didn’t like Cuban team as the Russian team’s next opponent in a friendly match.
The match will take place on November 20 at the 2018 World Cup stadium, Volgograd Arena, starting at 7:30 p.m. Moscow time.
— Let’s not compare Kenya to Cuba. Kenya, it seems to me, is a slightly more interesting opponent. The match against Cuba practically achieves nothing. It’s just gathering and training.
The Cuban national team doesn’t excite anyone. It is better to play a match with a youth team than with Cuba. “I don’t know what thoughts are being pursued,” Korneev said on the air of “Everyone for the match!”
The next match will be the national team’s third home match this year. On March 26 in St. Petersburg, the Russian team beat Iraq (2:0) and on October 12 in Moscow they beat Cameroon (1:0). In the last match in October, Russian footballers drew against Kenya (2:2), the match took place in Turkey.
