Honorary President RFS Vyacheslav Koloskov spoke about the upcoming test match between the national teams of Tajikistan and Russia.
Today the national team cannot play official matches, but tomorrow they can – and what, are we absolutely not ready for anything? The same is not done in serious organizations, we must always start from the fact that we are facing serious challenges. Sooner or later they will be: in a year, in a year and a half, in two. In any case, the team must be prepared, look at the reserves and play.
It is clear that we have almost no chance to play with someone from Europe. Today we have a rival from Central Asia. But what matters is not who you play with, but what you play in general. Russia has not withdrawn from world football, only that, due to sanctions, they cannot play in Europe and in official competitions. And so, he has the opportunity to negotiate with South America, with Africa, not only with Central Asia, but also with other teams on this continent. Russian football is part of world football and the next match is just a confirmation of this.
