We applied for visas for those players who, in our opinion, will not be called up to the youth team.
We have good communication with Rebrov and Melgosa. We have a good dialogue with Sergei Stanislavovich, we have communication and understanding, which of the players will be called up to the national team. With Melgosa, perhaps, we would like to establish better communication, but it is a matter of time.
The control match with Japan is a very important match for us, because we will not have many matches, we will not have many training camps. There will be one more tournament in France and a short training camp before the Olympics. Now we need to see the players and the possible reserve. Today we do not understand which players our and foreign clubs will let go to the Olympics," Rotan said on air on UPL.TV.
