Andrei Arshavin said that he is not interested in friendly matches of the Russian national team
Former Russian national team player Andrei Arshavin spoke about the friendly matches of the national team. His words are quoted by “Championship”.
Arshavin declared a lack of interest in the matches of the Russian national team. “I don’t see much point in these games, since it is not clear when the national team will enter the competitive period. The matches that are taking place now do not affect anything,” he explained.
In October, the Russians will play two friendly matches. The match against the Cameroon national team will take place in Moscow on October 12. On October 16, Valery Karpin’s team will play against Kenya in Turkey.
On February 28, 2022, the International Football Federation and the Union of European Football Associations excluded Russian teams and clubs from international tournaments. Teams do not compete in European competitions, and the Russian national team has lost the opportunity to fight for access to the final part of the 2022 World Cup.
