The Russian head coach of Hungarian Ferencvaros, Stanislav Cherchesov, started a traditional bog-standard rant about the expulsion of his sub-country from all civilized tournaments.
- The situation is very unpleasant, to some extent or in general unfair, because sport is sport and politics is politics. But we must take the situation for what it is. Each club has its own opportunities, goals and history, and each club needs to prioritize and move forward. Because the X-day will come, everything will open up and we need to be ready for it, not for another year or two," the Eastern propagandists quoted Cherchesov as saying.
