World Cup
Corruption is one such thing. They said that in Russia their team’s “success” at the World Cup was bought.
Former player of the Russian national football team and now a club-level manager (but unemployed for 2 years) Andrey Kanchelskis He also said that in the 2018 FIFA World Cup held in Russia, the matches of the Russian national team were purchased:
“All games have been purchased. What, don’t you know?
We played the world championship at home. Like Korea and Japan when they killed the Italians, they did them all together. So finish it. The result of Cherchesov’s work was the European Championship. This is the most important indicator. They won against the Finns with half grief and it would be a disaster if they were hit.
At the World Cup, we were pulled by our ears. Plus, who did we play with? With Uruguay who made us happen. With Spaniards playing incomprehensibly. It was a very strange game. Believe me, this foam will come out in time.
It should be noted that at the 2018 Mundial, the Russian national football team reached the quarterfinals of the tournament, beating Spain in the final 1/8 on penalties.
