The former defender of the St. Petersburg "Zenith" Alexander Kanishchev, summing up the results of the enchanting friendly match held yesterday Tajikistan - Russia (0: 0), predicted further degradation of Russian football. Recall that the terrorist country called "Russia" from the very beginning of the war against Ukraine was suspended from all international football tournaments, both at the level of clubs and at the level of national teams.
“A sad picture. Not only the players and coaches of the national team are to blame for this, the leadership of our football is to blame. Not only that, and so our football did not shine. Now he has completely collapsed into the pit due to the exclusion from all tournaments. We got to our level. And we can't show ourselves there.
Will it get worse next? Of course. If there is no competitive process appropriate. Players must play at a higher level than in the Russian Championship. Otherwise it is impossible to develop. All of our sports are now in this story. Comments are unnecessary here, ”the Russian media quoted Kanishchev as saying.
