Midfielder of Bosnia and Herzegovina Miralem Pjanic in an interview with Radio Sarajevo revealed the history of the organization and his attitude to sparring with the "Russian team".
Miralem Pyanich- The sports director of the national team Zvezdan Misimovich called me and said that there was an opportunity to play with Russia. I told him that at the moment it makes no sense to play with them, because they were expelled by FIFA, because they were expelled by UEFA. Why us? Why not some other national team? The whole world is suffering in one way or another because of this war, why should we be the first to play a friendly game with them?
There is no positive side to this match, even for us, and it will have a very negative impact on the world. Personally, I have nothing against Russian football players, but if literally everyone decided not to play with Russia, we should also unite and refuse. I just can't play in such a match,” Pjanic said.
