Alexey Miranchuk did not stand out among the players of the Russian national team in the match against Kenya, says Kechinov

Former Spartak Moscow football player Valery Kechinov said that Russian national team midfielder Alexei Miranchuk did not stand out from other players of the national team in the match with Kenya, despite the experience of playing in the Italian Championship for Atalanta and Torino.

The meeting between Russia and Kenya took place on Monday in Antalya, Turkey and ended with a score of 2:2. Alexey Miranchuk started the game in the starting lineup, but did not make any impact.

— It is clear that Alexey Miranchuk is not in the best condition, he did not stand out at all, there is a noticeable lack of playing tone and playing rhythm. Kuzyaev came on as a substitute and was able to shake up the game; in principle, he and the other players who came on as substitutes influenced the game and helped get a draw,” Gazeta.Ru quotes Kechinov.

For the Russian national team, this is the fourth match in 2023 that ended in a draw. Previously, Valery Karpin’s team did not reveal the winner in games with the national teams of Qatar (1:1), Egypt for players under 23 (1:1) and Iran (1:1).
