Bystrov on the return of Russian football to UEFA tournaments: “Why look where you can’t reach 100%?”

Former midfielder of the Russian national team Vladimir Bystrov told what he thinks about the expulsion of Russian football from European international tournaments.

“We will wait for a political decision. UEFA, as we can see, is a structure that is subordinate to politicians. Politicians said not to let Russians and Belarusians go anywhere. Since this situation has developed, let's not look at Europe, but look at the regions.

Why should we look where we can’t reach 100% right now? Let's go down a bit and start going up. We must train, improve our condition, train children. What else is left to do? Don’t hang yourself,” Bystrov said on the air of Match TV.
