Former Manchester United and Russian national team footballer Andrei Kanchelskis assessed the result of the friendly match with the Cuban team.
The Russian national team on Monday at the Volgograd Arena defeated the Cuban team with a score of 8:0 in a friendly match. The game was attended by 40,706 spectators.
— The most important thing is that the Russian team continues to exist, continues to play. Judging by the number of people in the stadium, fans are still interested in the matches of the national team, and the status of the opponent does not matter. Well, yes, the Russian team made fun of the Cubans, but the fans are happy. We could have won even bigger. It’s clear that this team is one of the exotic ones, but it’s better to let it be that way than not to play at all,” RB Sport quotes Kanchelskis.
