Russian coach and television commentator Alexander Grigoryan shared his thoughts on the opponents of the Russian national team in the Bet Boom friendly matches scheduled for September. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, the Russian team will play against the national teams of Jordan and Qatar. Grigoryan stated that both opponents are considered strong teams.
However, he emphasized that it would not be difficult for the Russian national team to achieve victory in these matches. In his opinion, when the pace of the game increases, the opposing teams lose their game, and Russian players have good skills in playing at a high tempo.
This gives them an advantage. For reference, the Jordanian national team has qualified for the 2026 World Cup.
The Qatari national team still needs to pass through the fourth qualifying round. If they do not successfully complete this stage, they may not be able to qualify for the World Cup.
Therefore, these matches are of significant importance for both teams.
