"I'm looking forward to the match with Iran. A worthy opponent!" - Russian national team ex-defender

Former Russian national team defender Vladimir Granat is looking forward to an incredible friendly match between Iran and Russia tomorrow in Tehran.

"I am looking forward to this match. It's a worthy opponent, a World Cup participant. I want to see the national team against a serious rival. You should not expect an easy victory. We have a young national team now. There were no worthy sparring, so I certainly do not expect an easy victory," Sport-Express quotes Granata.

Recall that after the match with Iran, the Russian team will have an even more spectacular sparring with Iraq!
