The head coach Russian national team Valery Karpin declared himself satisfied with the level of the team’s opponents, taking into account the global situation, even if he would like to play with teams of the level of Cameroon or Iran.
The Russian national team will play a friendly match with Cuba in Volgograd on November 20, it will start at 7:30 p.m. (Moscow time). In 2023, the Russians faced Iran (1:1), Iraq (2:0), Cameroon (1:0) and Kenya (2:2).
— What is the team’s result for the year?
— I take the situation into account, I would like opponents of the level of Cameroon or Iran, but we are happy with what we have.
“Don’t you think everyone’s blood pressure has gone up?”
– I don’t feel that way. What it was, is what it is. What happens outside does not depend on me and does not affect me.
— Did the team complete all of its tasks in one year?
— In general, some are less satisfied, others more satisfied. It’s the same with matches, we can’t generalize. I can’t say that everything is great and wonderful. “If we can’t beat Kenya,” a correspondent reported Karpin as saying.
FIFA and UEFA suspended Russian national teams and Russian clubs from international competitions in February 2022.
