Former Krasnodar player Joaozinho shared his thoughts about Bolivia, the upcoming opponent of the Russian national team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Valeriy Karpin's squad will play a friendly match against the Bolivia national team at the VTB Arena stadium on October 14. Joaozinho said he watched the match between Bolivia and Brazil national teams.
According to him, the defeat of the Brazilians is not unusual because Bolivia played on their home ground, which is located three thousand meters above sea level. Therefore, Bolivia will be a strong opponent for Russia.
The Bolivia national team is competing for the right to participate in the 2026 World Cup. The team currently holds seventh place in the qualifying stage standings.
This match will be a good test for the Russian national team and is important as preparation for future competitions.
