Ex-football player of the Russian national team: “Europe also suffers without our teams and fans”

Former midfielder of the Russian national team Igor Semshov shared his fantasies about the return of swamp football to the civilized world.

- I don’t want to mix football with politics, but now is the time that it interferes with this sport and athletes, especially us. I think that in Europe they are also suffering, that they do not have our teams, national teams and fans. We know how to play football, we know how to hold big tournaments. And we proved it. We are not outsiders at these tournaments. If we go back to summer, it will be great. However, we must also defend our point of view and not bend to the point of view that UEFA wants to hear from us, local media cite Semshov's dreams.
