Oleg Kuznetsov, the legendary ex-defender of Dynamo Kyiv, spoke about his impressions of the start of the 2022 World Cup.
Oleg Kuznetsov— The winter championship with only a week of training is not within the reach of the European national team. They are used to resting for a week or two after the championships of their countries, and then another two weeks to prepare for the World Cup. This year, the Europeans will perform in Qatar without special training. But I don't think we will have a ninth world champion. Well, unless the Belgian national team is capable of triumph. Still, it is the leader of the FIFA rating and has a very strong squad. The Belgians are particularly strong in attack. If they eliminate the problems with the defense, they can become world champions. And I consider the national teams of Brazil and Argentina to be the favorites, Kuznetsov said.
