Zenit midfielder Alexander Kanischev assessed the level of the Russian national team's opponents in friendly matches against the backdrop of last week's 3-0 sparring with Vietnam.
"The Russian national team's trip to Vietnam can be called a useless waste of money. Already by the fact we can say that the Russian national team went to Vietnam for nothing. Although it is easy to reason. But what can you do with nature? No one expected it to be like this (the Russian national team was supposed to have another sparring match in Vietnam, with Thailand, but it was canceled because of the typhoon - ed.).
The Russian national team has no choice, because no one wants to play with us, except these countries. Especially all the other national teams have their own worries," "Championship" quotes Kanischev as saying.
