Athletistic/Football. Russian coach Anatoly Byshovets expressed his thoughts regarding the contract extension with Russian national team head coach Valery Karpin.

“We did a great job. We see dynamics and perspectives, new players are starting to show themselves, and the last match only strengthened this confidence. Given all the challenges we face, this is truly encouraging. However, we lack official international matches.

As for motivation, I don’t see Karpin’s motivation diminishing. In all the matches we see, the players continue to show desire and optimism. Karpin manages to maintain a positive attitude and inspire players to come and play for the national team,” Byshovets commented to Metaratings.

  • Vedeneev: “Maybe we agreed with Karpin that if it became completely unbearable, he would leave the team”
