Former midfielder so-called. Russian national team Vladislav Radimov believes that it will be difficult for this “team” to return to civilized international tournaments. However, he does not name the main reason for isolation.
Vladislav Radimov- The IOC is an individual sport, and in team sports it will be much harder to return for one simple reason. We can come to an agreement with the IOC, they will certainly be loyal, improve relations with UEFA and FIFA. But, it seems to me, there will be some kind of coalition that will be against the games with the Russian national team. The same thing happened during the qualifying matches for the World Cup in Qatar.
Whose side will UEFA and FIFA take when there is a big coalition of teams that refuse to play with us? We will definitely miss the European Championship. The next World Cup, which will be held in the United States and Canada - well, let's be objective, it is unlikely that the United States will try to let us go there, - local media quoted Radimov as saying.
