Greek goalkeeper “Panathinaikos” and the Russian national team Yuri Lodygin said he never thought about returning to play for the Greek national team.
The call-up to the Russian national team was the first for 33-year-old Lodygin since the 2016 European Championship. In total, the goalkeeper has 11 matches for the national team.
— At the youth level, you played for the Greek national team, and the last time you played for the main Russian national team in official matches was nine years ago. During this period, the Greek federation never offered to return to the Greek national team? Would you agree, or will the Russian team always remain in your heart?
– Of course, the Russian team is with me from the beginning, from the moment I arrived, until the end. There were no offers and there couldn’t be any, because I was already played. So I didn’t even think about it. Even when I arrived at Zenit, such questions did not even arise,” Lodygin quotes RB Sport.
The Russian national team is holding a training camp during which it will play with the teams of Serbia (March 21, 8:00 p.m. Moscow time) and Paraguay (March 25, 8:00 p.m. Moscow time). The two friendly matches will take place at the Dynamo Stadium in Moscow.
The channel will broadcast live the friendly matches of the Russian national team with the teams of Serbia and Paraguay.
