Igor Semshov, former midfielder of this team, spoke about the prospects for the Russian national team in the conditions of expulsion from all international football tournaments.
“I think we need to wait until the summer. Then you will need to look for some options. It is impossible for the national team to play only friendly matches, without goals and objectives. We need to wait a bit, and then sit down with the RFU and, probably, with the government and think about how to do the right thing. Football players also want to participate in international competitions.
Yes, if there are no positive shifts from UEFA by the summer, then we need to think about moving to Asia. But we must understand that if the RFU moves to this confederation, then most likely there will be no way back. If our team plays in Asia, then we will look good there anyway. But people there also know how to play football. It will be difficult with any opponent. Everything will depend on the preparation for the game and on the attitude to the match, ”Metaratings quotes Semshov.
