The head coach of the Saratov “Sokol” Denis Boyarintsev called the Russian team’s result in the match against Kenya positive.
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, it is necessary to hold training camps. The national team must get together and play a certain composition. Although there are no big tournaments, you need to determine who is in the mix; you can watch a large number of newcomers. Even though we are not playing against top teams, we still need to play matches. Maybe the opponent is not the right irritant for the fans, but African teams are very serious teams.
The draw with Kenya is positive. In any case, the Russian team needs to feel the game. Yes, there may be a lot of criticism now, the result is not what I would like to see, but the team is working on it. The team must be ready for international tournaments,” RB Sport quotes Boyarintsev.
