Football player Cheryshev expressed hope that Russians will be able to participate in tournaments
Midfielder of the Italian “Venice” Denis Cheryshev spoke about his position on the removal of Russian teams and national teams. His words are quoted by As.
The footballer called the situation unpleasant. He expressed hope that Russians will soon be able to take part in international tournaments, since athletes are not responsible for the political situation. “We have nothing to do with politics. We want to play,” Cheryshev said.
Cheryshev transferred to Venezia on August 31, 2022. His contract with the club was concluded according to the “two plus one” scheme. Previously, the footballer played for the Spanish Valencia, Sevilla, Real and Villarreal.
On February 28, 2022, the Union of European Football Associations and the International Football Federation excluded Russian national teams and clubs from international tournaments. Teams do not compete in European competitions, and the Russian national team lost the opportunity to compete for access to the final part of the 2022 World Cup and does not participate in the Euro 2024 qualifications.
