Ex-football player of the Russian national team and Zenit, coach of the academy of the St. Petersburg club Dmitry Radchenko said that the match between the Russian national team and Brazil could really take place.

Earlier, RFU Secretary General Maxim Mitrofanov said that negotiations on a friendly match with Brazil are underway, but progress is very difficult.

– Yes, a match between Russia and Brazil is possible – most recently I was in Brazil, there was a tournament where the youth team of Russia, Zenit (U-17) and young guys from Palmeiras, Santos and Corinthians participated . These are all very famous clubs in Brazil. In addition to the tournament, I had a working meeting with people from the Brazilian Football Federation. My very good friend Mauro Silva works there, with whom I played at Deportivo. He is just the Deputy President of the Federation. They are very positive about cooperation with Russia. The meeting was very fruitful. Now not only the guys from the academy, but also the teams are ready to come to Russia.

These are not rumors, I saw everything with my own eyes and realized that Brazil is ready to cooperate with us. This is also important for them, because they know little about the development of our youth and adult football. Therefore, the Russia-Brazil match can take place. This will benefit everyone.

The Brazilian national team does not need to be represented at all. She has five victories in the world championships. In the FIFA rankings, Brazil is in third place, but for me this team is number one. Brazilian footballers are unique, individually strong. We are very interested in cooperating with them, – Radchenko is quoted by RB Sport.

The last time the Brazilian national team played with Russia was in March 2018. Then the Brazilians won with a score of 3:0.
