Athletistic/Football. Former head coach of the Russian national football team Stanislav Cherchesov shared his memories of the national team’s preparation for the match against Spain at the 2018 World Cup.

“The task was to convince the guys and, more importantly, even though I never did that, because I respect my colleagues, this time I had to tell the team that we beat them. Because l ‘Spain didn’t have a coach, but Russia Hierro is a great footballer, but he was appointed the day before the World Cup started. I saw that they didn’t have a mentor, they were free,” Cherchessov told Metaratings.

Russia beat Spain in the 1/8 finals on penalties.
