Zelimhan Bakaev, the winger of Russia's Lokomotiv club, shared his thoughts on the changes during the period when the Russian national team was banned from international tournaments for four years. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by euro-football.ru. According to Bakaev, head coach Valery Karpin used this time effectively and tested many players.

"When we return, there will be a core of the main squad formed in our team. We will see the results of Karpin's work," said Bakaev.

These views were also cited by the "Chempionat" publication. Valery Karpin has been managing the Russian national team since 2021.

Under his leadership, the team has played a total of 30 matches. In these games, they have won 20 times, drawn 8 times, and lost only twice.
