Ex-footballer of the “Zénith” and the national team Russia on football Andrei Arshavin believes that the national team’s friendly match with the national team Bosnia and Herzegovina may not take place due to pressure from Europe.
On September 9, the Bosnian Football Union announced that the national team of their country and Russia will play on November 19 in St. Petersburg. The communication service of the Russian Football Union (RFU) announced that it had reached an agreement in principle to organize the match, without specifying the details. Later, several players from the Bosnian team spoke out against holding the meeting.
“In general, everything was fine on our part. Well done on the deal. But the counterparty, in my opinion, did not quite take responsibility for its participation. And now it turns out that there are many factors against such a match. I do not exclude that the game does not take place. Because under pressure from all over Europe and UEFA can cancel the match. But if he succeeds, it will be a chance for football.
– Doesn’t all this sound humiliating to persuade someone to play with us?
I don’t think it should be considered that way. The task of the Russian Football Union is to organize national team matches. If there is an opportunity to play, it is necessary to play – to negotiate, to pay money. I don’t see anything wrong with that. I hope the situation will be resolved and normal football will return. If it’s not resolved, football will also suffer,” Arshavin told RB Sport.
