“People in the region will be interested in going to see the Russian national team” – Tikhonov about the match with Cuba in Volgograd

Former Russian national team player Andrei Tikhonov reacted positively to the news about the Russian national team’s match with Cuba in Volgograd.

The Russian national team will meet with the Cubans in a friendly match in Volgograd. The game will take place on November 20 and will begin at 19:30 (Moscow time).

— I have a positive attitude towards the fact that the national team will play in Volgograd. The national team always traveled and played matches in the regions before. This is fine. Moscow is already fed up with football – there are many teams. The match with Cameroon at the VTB Arena was great. Everyone understands that many fans will not come to the match with Cuba in Moscow. In the region, people will be interested in going to the national team. The national team rarely plays in the regions. I don’t know anything at all about the Cuban national team,” Championship quotes Tikhonov.

The upcoming match will be the national team’s third home game this year. On March 26 in St. Petersburg, the Russian team beat Iraq (2:0), and on October 12 in Moscow they defeated Cameroon (1:0). In the last game in October, Russian football players played away to a draw with Kenya (2:2), the game took place in Turkey.
