“What kind of skill do the players of the Russian national team have, that’s why they played enough in the match with Kenya” – Dasaev

Former goalkeeper of Spartak and the USSR national team Rinat Dasaev believes that the Russian team played a draw with Kenya in a friendly match because the players did not have enough skill to achieve a better result.

The meeting took place on Monday in Turkey and ended with a score of 2:2. The Russian team was saved from defeat in the 89th minute by a goal from Ivan Oblyakov. Earlier, Valery Karpin’s team beat Cameroon (1:0) in Moscow.

— Of course, after the match with Cameroon we expected more from the national team. Well, it’s okay, we’ll have to get everything right little by little. Whatever skill the players have, that’s what they showed in the match with Kenya. On the other hand, playing at a high level always takes time.

There is no need to blame Karpin. He does everything in his power. For now, he has assembled the players he can. Karpin varies the composition, looks at the players, who is in what shape, and whether they want to play in the national team. It takes time for him to appreciate all this. But at the moment there are simply no better players. And they “brought” the goals for themselves,” Sport24 quotes Dasaev.
