The news about the non-admission of the Russian national team to the draw for the European Championship 2024 is not surprising, the world now treats the country this way, former defender of the USSR national team Evgeny Lovchev told Match TV.
UEFA and FIFA in February announced the suspension of the Russian national team from participation in tournaments under their auspices due to events in Ukraine “until further notice”. On Tuesday, the RFU announced that the players of the national team will not take part in the draw for the UEFA EURO 2024 qualifying tournament.
– The decision is expected. If only one person, Infantino or Ceferin, had participated, they would probably have voted differently. But, given how the world now relates to proud Russia, the decision is expected.
Did you have hope for a different outcome?
– No, it was not. I’ll give you an example. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is German. When the Champions League final was moved from St. Petersburg, he said that Russia should be punished.
I want to say to him: “What nationality are you? Are you german. You must kneel before the whole world for the rest of your life.” And he stands and argues that Russia should be punished. You should be punished for the 45th year. It is clear to me that these people are inadequate.
– Can we regard this decision as an extension of sanctions for another 2 years?
“Yes, I think we won’t participate for another 2 years,” Lovchev said.
EURO 2024 will be hosted by Germany.

The scorer of the brace against Chelsea is an Aston Villa player. Ollie Watkins appointed head coach of the team Unai Emery tactical genius. Watkins’ comment is quoted by the BBC in reference to Sky Sports.
The meeting of the 18th round of the English championship between Aston Villa and Chelsea from London ended with a strong victory for the Birmingham team with a score of 2:1.
“He changed tactics because Chelsea played man-marking, but he had an extra central defender when we played long balls. When I came on in the second half, he put Jadon Sancho and Morgan Rodgers on the wing and put Youri Tielemans in the No. 10 position, so we had an extra player. He’s a tactical genius,” Watkins said.
“Amazing victory. For me personally, to go on the pitch and score two goals is a fantastic feeling, but to continue that streak and come here to such a difficult place and beat Chelsea is just incredible,” he added.
