Fedor Smolov said he does not believe in a return to European competition in the near future
Dynamo Moscow striker Fedor Smolov assessed the likelihood of the Russians returning to European competition. His words are quoted by Sport-Express.
Smolov spoke about this with the phrase “to live to this time.” “I don’t believe I’ll live to see this. I don’t see in the near future what can happen for us to be returned to European competitions. If I suffer until the age of 40, then it is possible, ”he said.
Earlier, the former football player of the Bulgarian national team Blagoy Georgiev spoke out against the removal of Russian clubs. “This is such a big stupidity! I just don’t have the words to describe it,” he said.
On February 28, 2022, the International Football Federation and the Union of European Football Associations suspended Russian clubs and teams from participating in competitions under their auspices. The teams have been excluded from all tournaments.
