Aldonin – about the game between the Russian and Cuban national teams in Volgograd: “The main impression is the fans. It is necessary to hold national team matches in the regions”
Former Russian football player Evgeny Aldonin said that it is necessary to hold as many matches of the Russian national team as possible in the regions of the country.
On Monday, the Russian team in Volgograd defeated the Cuban team with a score of 8:0 in a friendly match. The game was attended by a little more than 40 thousand people.
— The most important impression is the fans. The stadium was full, more than 40 thousand. With such support it is a pleasure to play. Everything worked out for the Russian national team players; there was no tension. The score allowed us to act more relaxed. It is difficult to evaluate a game in terms of results.
A lot of guys scored their debut goals, and a variety of combinations were created. Overall the match was a success. Before the game, I and other RFU ambassadors signed autographs; there was a huge number of people. It is necessary to use the option to hold matches of the Russian national team in the regions,” RB Sport quotes Aldonin as saying.
