Igor Semshov named the player who impressed him at the 2022 World Cup

Former player of the Russian national team, and now coach Igor Semshov, told which of the players surprised him at the World Cup in Qatar.

– As a discovery, I will name two unexpected names. The first is Mbappe. Yes, everyone knows him, yes, he was already a world champion. But now we see exactly the Mbappe that everyone has been waiting for for a very long time. A real leader who leads the team and does a lot for the result, ”KP Sport” quotes Semshov.

— Second surname?

— Griezmann. It is a big surprise to me that the phenomenal amount of work that he does on the field. I haven’t seen this done in a long time. Playing as the third central midfielder, he was in his own penalty area and was in the final stage. To be honest, I’m even surprised that he had such a volume of work. And by and large he made the second goal with the Poles, taking the ball away in his own penalty area and making a forward pass.

The French team reached the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, where they will play against England on December 10.
