Valery Karpin, head coach of the exiled "Russian national team" after the "friendly" game against Iran (1-1) did not look much interested in the process.
Valery Karpin (photo: D. Golubovich)- We have a young team. We don't take part anywhere, we try a lot, we call up young guys to watch them. If there were official competitions, the team would be different. We're not preparing for anything yet. I wanted to see how we would play against a team like that. It's more about the game, not the result.
We could have won, and we could have lost at the end. I liked almost everything before our goal. And after the goal - I didn`t like anything. The stadium wasn't full, but those who came created the atmosphere. We in Russia are weaned on it, - local propagandists cite Karpin's revelations.
