The removal of the Russian national team from the World Cup in Qatar is a bad precedent for all football, Carrera believes
Former Spartak Moscow head coach Massimo Carrera believes that the removal of the Russian national team from matches for the right to play at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar is a bad precedent for world football.
The Russian national team was suspended by the International Football Federation (FIFA) from participating in the play-offs of the 2022 World Cup qualifying tournament, which will be held from November 20 to December 18 in Qatar.
– I am very upset that the national teams of Italy and Russia will not play at the 2022 World Cup. Italy could fight for the victory, and Russia could reach the playoffs. The removal of the Russian team is a bad precedent for all football, Sport24 quotes Carrera.
Champion of Europe 2020, the Italian team failed to qualify for the World Cup, losing in the “joints” to the team of North Macedonia.
