Head coach Valery Karpin said that the Russian team gives everything in the matches
The head coach of the Russian national team, Valery Karpin, assessed the motivation of the national team players in an interview with the YouTube channel “This is football, brother!”
Karpin said that the Russian team is giving its all in friendly matches. At the same time, he noted that the team cannot be as motivated as possible because, due to sanctions, it does not know what it is preparing for.

On February 28, 2022, the International Football Federation and the Union of European Football Associations excluded Russian national teams and clubs from international tournaments. Domestic teams do not compete in European competitions, and the Russian national team was deprived of the opportunity to compete for access to the final part of the 2022 World Cup.
