Fakel defender Sergei Bozhin said that the Voronezh club has players who are worthy of being called up to the Russian national team.
The Russian national team is holding a training camp, during which on November 20 it will play in a friendly match with the Cuban team in Volgograd. The Fakel players were not included in the national team’s roster.
— Do the Fakel players deserve a call to the Russian national team?
– Of course, they deserve it.
– Why don’t they call you, what do you think?
— Maybe there is some kind of stereotype. The teams that are below us in the table are called up, but we don’t have anyone. Although we have decent guys both in terms of play and statistics. For example, Zhenya Markov is in the top 5 scorers in the RPL. Why not? – Match TV quotes Bozhin.
