Valeriy Karpin, the coach of the Russian national team expelled from all competitions, gave a revealing answer to the question about what tasks the team he coaches is currently fulfilling.
It should be noted that in September, the Russian national team has on its agenda the next friendly matches with "top" opponents - two meetings with the Olympic team of Egypt and one - with the national team of Qatar.
- What tasks does the Russian national team fulfil?
- Who knows anything nowadays. Do we know where we are going in life? We do not know what will happen in a year or two.
- The task of the national team is to win?
- To win, but not at any cost.
Previously, the Russian national team has already played a number of friendly matches against "big-name" opponents - Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Iran and Iraq. These are the wonderful realities of Russian football, which, as we know, was expelled from all international tournaments immediately after the Russian Federation attacked Ukraine.
