Dyukov: The performance of the Russian national team has improved

The Russian national football team is showing significant progress in friendly matches. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

This was announced by Alexander Dyukov, president of the Russian Football Union. According to him, the quality of the team’s play and the players’ desire to represent the national team with honor are increasing.

Valery Karpin’s squad has remained unbeaten since 2021. That year, they missed their chance in the 2022 World Cup qualifying stage against Croatia.

According to Dyukov, the national team’s performance is at a high level, and the players’ determination and ambition when taking the field are noteworthy. Additionally, the president of the Russian Football Union emphasized that spectators’ interest in the national team is growing.

Television ratings for national team matches are rising, and the number of fans in stadiums is increasing. Last October, the Russian national team defeated Iran 2-1 and Bolivia 3-0.

The match against Iran took place in Volgograd, where a record number of spectators attended the stadium. These results indicate the positive development of Russian football.
