Ex-midfielder of the Russian national team Diniyar Bilyaletdinov spoke about the friendly match between Russia and Bosnia and Herzegovina announced for November, which is scheduled to be held in St. Petersburg.
Diniyar Bilyaletdinov“The fact that the Bosnians do not want to play with Russia shows that they are simply afraid. I think this match is inappropriate for them. It doesn't matter to us - we are probing the situation. I don't think we can play with Bosnia.
The game really may not take place, and I am very skeptical about the decision of the Bosnian Football Federation to agree to hold such a match. At the same time, if now in Bosnia they begin to say that they would not like such a match, then we ourselves need to say: “Thank you, we will find another,” Sport24 quotes Bilyaletdinov.
Recall that earlier the leaders of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, including its captain Edin Dzeko, opposed the friendly match with the Russian national team. At the same time, the goalkeeper of the Bosnian national team, Ibrahim Sehic, said that none of the players called up for the September match of the League of Nations would play against Russia.
