Athletistic/Football. The Russian national team has been suspended from international matches for two years now. He only plays friendly matches. The former head coach of the Russian national team compared the current situation with that before the 2018 World Cup at home. At that time, the Russian national team played only friendly matches, since there was no need to qualify for the World Cup at home.

– The situation in the Russian national team is unusual, atypical and unpleasant, but to some extent similar to what it was before the 2018 World Cup, when there were two years of test matches. It is clear that back then the situation was different, everyone wanted to play with us and come to Russia, but now we have to look for an opponent. But you see, recently a window has opened on Europe, already Serbia and Paraguay, then Belarus. This situation must be accepted in such a way that every match of the Russian national team is “with a knife”, and not to play against someone for the future, the situation can open any day, we we must prepare for it, Match Television quotes Cherchessov’s words.
