Former Russian national team footballer Roman Shirokov has shared his wet fantasies about how his under-country will return to world football.
"Europe itself may not come running to us. But we are speaking from the position of the victorious country in this conflict. We will still have to dictate terms.
It is just not necessary to come and beg to let us in. They should come, and we will dictate the terms on which we will enter UEFA on equal terms, or better from the position of the winning country.
We should return to the positions from which we left: what places, how many teams we had. Plus, we can do a little bit of good for our friends Belarus, so that they get a little bit more teams than they had in the European Cup.
It just can't happen that quickly - 3-4 years will be needed," Metaratings quoted Shirokov as saying.
