Athletistic/Football. Honorary President of the RFU Vyacheslav Koloskov expressed his impressions of the friendly match between the national teams of Russia and Cuba (8:0), which took place in Volgograd.

“We all anticipated that the score would be important. The teams are completely different in terms of class and skills. Everything went as planned. The main thing is that the guys played with a good attitude. We feared that the team would come out relaxed. However, they showed an excellent game with reserves of strength. Everyone got involved. It is important!

Now, no one can say that guys lack motivation and desire. Today they showed their true nature. They played with professionalism and energy! Karpin showed that we have prospects for the next 3-5 years. These are the players we can build plans on.

I was particularly pleased with the festive atmosphere created by the organizers. Anthem, full stands. The RFU perfectly expressed its gratitude to Volgograd for its contribution to history,” Koloskov shared in an interview with a Sport24 correspondent.
