Syomin: Russia must defeat Jordan and Qatar

Famous coach Yuri Syomin shared his thoughts about the Russia national team's BetBoom friendly matches. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Syomin was asked what he expects from the national team's matches against Jordan and Qatar. He emphasized that the team has not played for a long time and said these matches would be a good test to determine the current state of the team.

According to Syomin, the Qatar team is stronger than Jordan, but the Russia national team must win against both opponents. The Russia national team will host Jordan at Lukoil Arena on September 4.

Three days later, on September 7, Valery Karpin's team will play away against Qatar. Due to restrictions imposed by UEFA and FIFA, the Russia national team can only play friendly matches.

Until the end of 2025, Valery Karpin's team will also play matches against the national teams of Iraq, Bolivia, Peru, and Chile. These matches will help improve the team's standing in world football and provide an opportunity to test new strategies.
