Former Spartak Moscow player Sergei Shavlo believes that the national team players Russia will have to give everything in the friendly match against Cuba.
The meeting of the Russian national team with the Cuban team will take place on October 20 in Volgograd and will start at 7:30 p.m.
— Of course, Cuban football is no longer the same as before, when we beat the Cuban team at the Moscow Olympics with a score of 8:0. And I think it will not be difficult for our guys to deal with their opponents in a friendly match. But only if they don’t think: “Why such a game?” A kind of Cuba…”
— If they think so, it’s their problem, not their opponent’s?
– Certainly. Russian footballers must go out and play fully – for their name, for their country, professionally. And don’t think about the reason for the match and the opponent. In such a mood, with carelessness, it is better not to go to the field at all. You are professionals, you are paid for your work, you must go out and do your job well. Especially if you want to progress and increase your value.
– Why don’t ours always succeed?
– There is such a concept – character. An athlete, he will fight until bloody for victory even in the yard. And there are: they go there, they don’t care about the score of the match. Typically, these people don’t last long in the sport. You have to try hard to win every match, to prove that you are an athlete. I hope we see this achieved by our guys,” Shavlo said, as quoted by RB Sport.
