The footage shows that Valery Karpin’s charges are silent after the failure in Split. The defender of the team Fedor Kudryashov in the video sits with his head down: he sent the ball into his own goal in the decisive match of the qualifying tournament.
Earlier, the head coach of the national team became a guest of the “Comment.Show”, where he talked to journalists about the defeat of the national team in the match with the Croats. In particular, Karpin admitted that he did not see football performed by his players. He stressed that this is a claim to the quality of the game, and not to the dedication of the players on the field.
Also, the 52-year-old specialist did not rule out that he would not lead the national team at the selection matches. Karpin’s contract with the national team expires in December.
The defeat of the Russian national team in the match with the Croats deprived the team of a direct ticket to the 2022 World Cup. Russian footballers will have play-offs.
