Russian national team defender Matvey Lukin gave an interview to "Match TV" after the game against Bolivia. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He spoke about the impressions he had after seeing the team's lineup at the start of the match. According to Lukin, all the players represent the national team, and it was very important to win as well as to keep a clean sheet.
In the first half, the team played well, while in the second half the game slowed down a bit and mistakes increased. However, he emphasized that this was an opportunity to improve further.
He also mentioned that having five "army men" players in the starting lineup made the game much easier. Since they know each other's playing styles well, their interactions on the field were effective.
The fact that things at the club are on the right track is also evidenced by the victory. The team won with a score of 3:0.
When asked about pressing by the head coach, he said it reminded him of Jurgen Klopp. For the first half hour, the team kept the opponent under pressure and played at a high level.
In the second half, due to some fatigue, the game dropped to a lower level, but it was noted that this situation needs to be worked on. Lukin stated that they will work hard so that the team becomes stronger in the future.
