Russian coach Alexander Tarkhanov spoke out on the subject of the suspension of his terrorist country from all international soccer tournaments at both club and national team level.
"If the topic of our possible return to European tournaments is discussed on the sidelines of the UEFA Congress, there is hope and a chance that we will return to Europe. It is difficult to say whether we need to move to the Asian Football Confederation, if there is no positive progress in negotiations with UEFA, but we should already return to the international arena and start playing official matches," Metaratings quoted Tarkhanov as saying.
Recall that immediately after the Russian attack on Ukraine, FIFA and UEFA expelled Russian soccer from all international soccer competitions. As a result, at the moment, the Russian national team is content with fairy friendly matches against Kyrgyzstan, Iraq, Tajikistan and other similar rivals of the highest level.
