The head coach of the so-called. "Russian team" Valery Karpin, after his team played 0:0 with Tajikistan, spoke about her and his prospects.
- Do I believe that Russia will be allowed to major tournaments? No idea. Does anyone know or believe? What are you asking these questions? Do you know the situation and attitude in the world towards Russia? Why should I work with the team? For the fact that when and if we are returned, we must be prepared for this. To do this, we gather, look for friendly games, look through the players. Would you agree to move to Asia? What's the other option? It is not known how long we will have to wait for the return to Europe, so let's go to Asia," Karpin is quoted by the local media.
