Yuri Syomin: "The matches of the Russian national team with Vietnam and Thailand are great!"

Russian coach Yuri Syomin is excited about the Russian national team's next friendly matches - against Vietnam and Thailand - to be held in Vietnam in September as part of an unofficial tournament.

"It's a great tournament. We have to go to play with everyone. Especially there will be a break for national team matches. We ourselves need to show the level that we can outplay them. We have to contact different countries and play matches. The RFU is doing everything right. For these matches we can get points in the FIFA coefficient table," Sport-Express quoted Semin as saying.
