Former USSR national team defender Vladimir Ponomaryov shared his thoughts on the national team's friendly match against Bolivia. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, South Americans usually play in high-altitude areas, which creates additional difficulties for opponents due to the thin air. It is very difficult for players who are not adapted to such conditions to perform well.
However, the current match being held in a favorable environment for Russian players works to their advantage. Ponomaryov also recalled that Bolivia previously defeated the Brazil national team, but emphasized that this victory should not be misleading.
Because the current level of the Brazilian team differs from previous years. In his opinion, our team will endure in the game, score several goals against the opponent's goal, and win.
The match against Bolivia will start at 20:00 Tashkent time on October 14.
