Former Dynamo coach Sergei Silkin shared his opinion on the decision of the executive committee of the Russian Football Union (RFU) to refuse to move to Asia.
At a meeting on Wednesday, the RFU Executive Committee almost unanimously decided to remain in UEFA.
– Why should we move to Asia?
– For gaming practice.
– With whom? This is not serious. We have already played so many games with these countries, and there was no sense in these matches. I think that postponing the decision for a year is the right thing to do. Then something concrete may appear. Therefore, I think this decision is wise, because many of our teams want to play in the Champions League and Europa League. I think that within a year everything should be back to normal.
— Almost all football experts welcomed the RFU’s decision to refuse to move to Asia in the near future. Are you not surprised by such unanimity? Still, there must be different opinions…
— I think that before the vote, the members of the executive committee discussed everything and agreed on something. On the one hand, our teams did not show themselves in the Champions League when they participated in this tournament, and it is not clear what is better for us: to show our level of football or to hide.
— Are you ready to wait for this for many years?
— Maybe in a year everything will be decided. What’s the point of subscribing to Asia? We don’t know when all this will end.
— Dyukov said that we can take advantage of the opportunity to move to Asia next year, that is, the issue is not completely closed. Why go back to him?
“I don’t know why this decision was made.
— Members of the RFU executive committee considered that moving to Asia did not make sense, because FIFA does not guarantee admission to international tournaments. Is this a compelling argument to postpone the decision?
— I think that Asia is a reserve airfield. But it’s not correct. Will our level in UEFA rise because we move to Asia? It’s a difficult question. I think that the people who lead our football should think about its development.
“But now there is no development if we stew in our own juice.”
– It’s not there, but you need to think about it. It’s not clear to us whether it’s good or bad that we don’t play in Europe, because if we were always eliminated from European tournaments, then there would be talk about why we need this at all,” Euro-Futbol.Ru quotes Silkin as saying. .

Russian Football Federation (RFU) hopes that the International Football Federation (FIFA) will follow the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee (THAT IS) subject to the admission of youth teams. The Secretary General spoke about it in an interview RFU Maxim Mitrofanov.
In December THAT IS recommended removing all restrictions for young Russian athletes and allowing them to participate in all competitions with the anthem and flag.
“This recommendation has become an important event for all Russian sports. We see that in many sports international federations are making decisions on the admission of our athletes,” Mitrofanov said. “And there are more and more such decisions.” Recommendation THAT IS plays an important role in this process. Let’s proceed from the fact that FIFA this recommendation will be heeded.”
“At the same time, it is important to understand that the popularity and attention, including at the state and political level, towards different sports in Europe are different. The large international basketball, hockey and football federations are more careful in analyzing the decisions they make. They probably already realized that they have overdone it in 2022. Now it is even more difficult for them to get out of this situation, also because they are afraid of facing the position of a large number of countries which, at the state level, will hinder the implementation decisions about our return,” Mitrofanov added.
Russian clubs and national teams have been suspended from international tournaments due to the situation in Ukraine.

Invitation from the Togliatti Akron striker Artem Dziuba joining the Russian national football team was a positive event. This opinion was expressed in an interview by the general secretary of the Russian Football Federation (RFU) Maxim Mitrofanov.
In March Dzyuba scored against the Grenada team (5:0) and passed Alexandra Kerzakova in terms of goals for the Russian national team, he scored 31 goals.
“I rate it positively [приглашение Дзюбы в сборную]. I think it was a good decision by our coach [Валерия Карпина]Mitrofanov said. “The footballer deserves this opportunity. I am quite relaxed in counting records, but for the players and fans this plays a role. It is also important that the coach allowed the player to prove himself, showing that he had no conflict with Artem.”
“He is a good guy and a good footballer and he took the story very positively. He managed to score, it was clear from Artem’s emotions that he really wanted it,” Mitrofanov added.
In December Kerzhakov announced on his Telegram channel that he had sent a request to the International Football Federation (FIFA) about the authorship of the second goal of the Russian team in the friendly match against the German team on June 8, 2005 (2:2). If RFU admits that the goal was not scored Andrei Arshavinand Kerzhakov, then he will again share first place with Dzyuba.
