The general director of Makhachkala's "Dynamo," Shamil Gazizov, shared his thoughts on the matches of the Russian national team.
“The national team must live and play; this is not even up for discussion. Of course, we would prefer opponents of a higher level, but the most important thing is that the team is playing matches,” Gazizov stated in an interview with "RB Sport."
Since 2022, Valery Karpin's team has only been playing friendly matches.
On November 15, the Russian national team defeated Brunei with a score of 11:0. Today, November 19, Valery Karpin's team will face Syria in a friendly match. The match will take place in Volgograd, with kick-off scheduled for 19:30 MSK.
