Viktor Onopko, a representative of the coaching staff of the Russian national football team, commented on the delay of the team's flight from Volgograd to Moscow. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
On October 10, Valery Karpin's players defeated the Iran national team 2-1 in a friendly match at the local stadium. The team was supposed to fly after the match, but the scheduled flight was canceled.
The team returned to the hotel, had dinner, and spent the night there. The next day, they flew at 10 a.m. and arrived in Moscow at 1 p.m.
Onopko also emphasized that the delay would not affect the preparation for the next game. The next match will take place in Moscow on October 14.
The opponent of the Russian national team will be the Bolivia national team. According to experts, the team will be fully prepared for the upcoming game, and the delay will not negatively impact the team's work plan or morale.
Such situations rarely occur in sports teams, and all necessary measures are taken promptly to resolve them.
