Former Manchester United player Kanchelskis spoke about the Russian team that bought all the matches at the 2018 World Cup
Former Manchester United player Andrey Kanchelskis has accused Russia of cheating at the 2018 FIFA World Cup at home. It is reported by “Match TV”.
The Russian refused to praise Stanislav Cherchesov, who led the team in the tournament. “All the games have been bought. What, you don’t know about it? At the World Championships, we were pulled by the ears. Plus, who did we play with? With Uruguay, which carried us out. With the Spaniards, who played incomprehensibly. It was a very strange game,” said Kanchelskis.
The Russian national team at the home world championship in the group stage beat Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and also lost to Uruguay. In the 1/8 finals, Cherchesov’s team defeated Spain in the penalty shootout, and lost to Croatia in the quarterfinals in the 11-meter series. Previously, the Russian team has never been among the eight best teams in the world.
Kanchelskis played 36 matches for the Russian national team. The midfielder played in the team from 1992 to 1998 and scored four goals.
