Nikolai Pisarev spoke about the national team players taking care of themselves in control matches
Nikolai Pisarev, assistant to the head coach of the Russian national team Valery Karpin, spoke about the motivation of football players in friendly matches. RB Sport reports this.
According to him, in control matches players take care of themselves. “And that’s okay! Players must understand what to prepare for. It’s one thing to play in the qualification for the World Cup or Euro,” Pisarev noted.
At the same time, the coach added that the mood of the national team players is all right. “The two scoring errors in the match with Kenya are not related to motivation,” Pisarev said.
On October 16, the Russian team played a draw with Kenya. Four days earlier, the Russians beat Cameroon. By decision of the International Football Federation (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), Karpin’s team was suspended from international competitions.
