Famous blogger Mikhail Borzykin analyzed the reasons why Russia national team's attacking midfielder Maksim Glushenkov received the captain's armband in the BetBoom friendly match against Jordan. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Borzykin previously recalled that Glushenkov preferred to train with Zenit's foreign players during the championship break rather than travel with the Russian national team to the match against Vietnam. On his Telegram channel "Football Factory," Borzykin listed three possible reasons why Valery Karpin made Maksim Glushenkov captain.
Firstly, Glushenkov was tired of training with Wendel and Barrios, while Claudinho had already left. Secondly, Karpin continues the policy of turning the team into a project for the media.
The third reason is the coach's tough joke towards the player, meaning "You said something, so here is the armband." The text broadcast of the Russia – Jordan BetBoom match taking place at the "Lukoil Arena" stadium can be followed through the LiveResult portal.
