Matches with Iran and Iraq are an opportunity for the Russian team to remind the football world of itself, Semin believes
For the Russian national team, matches with Iran and Iraq are an opportunity to remind the football world of themselves, Yuri Semin, former head coach of Lokomotiv and the Russian national team, told RB Sport.
– Now our national team has few international matches, so any game is very important. For the Russian team, the matches with Iran and Iraq are an opportunity to remind the football world of themselves. Therefore, of course, the players will be set to fight and win, because they represent Russian football.
I have no doubts about the need for friendly matches, now this is our need. This is the only way we can be ready for the return, we need to play the guys for the future so that they have practice and mutual understanding on the field,” said Semin.
A friendly match between the national teams of Iran and Russia will be held at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran on Thursday, March 23. Watch the live broadcast of the game on the Match TV channel from 19:50 (Moscow time). You can also follow the match on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
