Dynamo defender Skopintsev said that he is looking forward to being called up to the national team for the October training camp.

Dynamo Moscow footballer Dmitry Skopintsev said that he is looking forward to being called up to the national team for the October training camp.

Earlier, the President of the Russian Football Union (RFU), Alexander Dyukov, announced that the Russian national team will play a friendly match with the Cameroon team on October 12. Skopintsev made his debut for the national team on September 12 of this year in a friendly match with the Qatar national team (1:1).

— Are you counting on a call in October?

— If I play the way I played, I will benefit the club and the national team. As I understand it, the national team coaches are given some statistical data, so they will call those who are ready to physically do a large amount of work. That’s why I’m taking special care of myself now. But you also need to play at your maximum, as it was before the first challenge. Of course, I want to get a call in October, I’m excited about it, I’m looking forward to it. (Mumi) Ngamale said: “Expect me to put a lot of pressure on you.” It is clear that this was a joke. But he’s from Cameroon, and at the club we play on the same sideline. It will be interesting.

– Cameroon and Kenya – is it interesting to play with such teams?

– Certainly. Is Kenya playing somewhere in the qualifiers?

– No, she is disqualified by FIFA.

“This is bad, they will be angry and rush forward,” RB Sport quotes Skopintsev as saying.

This season Skopintsev played 11 matches and scored one goal.

Russian clubs and national teams do not compete in tournaments under the auspices of FIFA and UEFA due to the situation in Ukraine.
