The head coach of the Russian national team Valery Karpin, in an interview with the Dorsky YouTube channel, spoke about the differences between Spanish football players and Russian ones.
The specialist called the main advantage of the Spaniards the professionalism that they instilled in them from childhood. As an example, he said that it is enough for the Spaniards to tell about proper nutrition once so that they follow a diet throughout their career. “For Spanish players, remembering five set pieces is the norm. And for Russian football players – a lot, three would be remembered, ”added Karpin.
The Russian national team must take part in the play-offs to qualify for the 2022 World Cup. On March 24, the team will host the Poles in Moscow. In case of victory, Karpin’s team will have to compete for a ticket to the World Cup with the best team from the Sweden-Czech Republic pair.
In February 2020, striker Fedor Smolov, who played on loan at the Celta Primera club, said that teams in Spain were focused on attack. In his opinion, Spanish football is more spectacular and intense than Russian football.
