Lovchev pointed out the mistakes of the players of the Russian national team during the performance of the anthem

Legend of Spartak, bronze medalist of the 1972 Olympics in the USSR national team Yevgeny Lovchev after the victory of Russia over Kyrgyzstan (2: 1) in a friendly match on the air of the program “There is a theme!” on Match TV called on Russian football players to sing the national anthem more emotionally.

Open video

– In my time, when the anthem was played, we, of course, did not sing it. But, for example, when [сейчас] Italians are standing, hugging and yelling the national anthem, for me, this is definitely the setting for the game. Because they exhale the ending and are ready to play.

I was the head coach of the Russian futsal team and, as the person who was responsible for all this, I began to tell the guys that everyone should learn the anthem. And most importantly, do not hesitate to sing. All the teams, when standing, someone mumbles, someone is shy, someone else is something. And it should be like “Our Father.” And we are not finishing anything in this regard. Anyway, coaches who should.

Here we are talking to one. When he played in the junior and youth teams, the coach told them to learn the anthem. It is one thing to learn, and another to understand that this is what we sing with the stadium. It’s a different atmosphere. And here [во время исполнения гимна России перед матчем с Киргизией] some faceless eyes, some facial expressions are not the same. Not everyone knows the anthem.

When was the 2018 World Cup, and our whole country sang. The players sang the way Sasha Sobolev sang at the match with the Kyrgyz. I argue from the side of the players, and not from the outside, – the Match TV website quotes Lovchev.
