Alexander Samedov - about the expulsion of Russia from Euro 2024: "It's very sad"

Former midfielder of the Russian national team Alexander Samedov is deeply saddened by the expulsion of the aggressor country from Euro 2024.

- Well, what can I say. It's sad... It's a pity for the guys, fans, in general, for everyone that another big tournament will take place without us. I don't know if it's worth it purely theoretically to look towards other confederations. It's not such an easy process. There is only one thing to say: sorry guys. They had the opportunity to play in the World Cup and will not play in the European Championship. An entire generation could be left without major tournaments. It is very sad,” local media quoted Samedov as saying.
