Former president of Spartak Andrei Chervichenko in a conversation with a correspondent, he called the desire of the Russian Football Union (RFU) to organize friendly matches of the Russian national team with opponents from the top 80 of the FIFA rankings good .
Previously, the press service of the RFU reported that, within the framework of the concept of activity of the national team, it is necessary to gradually increase the share of matches of the Russian national team with opponents from the top 80 of the FIFA ranking.
— The desire to play friendly matches with opponents from the top 80 of the FIFA rankings is good. But the political situation suggests that those who would like to come to us will not come because of the mudslide that will fall on them.
The question is whether there will be at least ten teams ready to come to us. Paraguay arrived and immediately left without playing a match with us. In principle, ten teams can be found,” Chervichenko told .
On March 21, Valery Karpin’s team in Moscow won a major victory against the Serbs in a friendly match with a score of 4:0. The Russian national team was suspended from participation in matches under the auspices of FIFA and UEFA due to the situation in Ukraine.
