Former goalkeeper of the Uzbekistan national team and "Spartak" team Anzor Kavasavgili stated in an interview with "Euro-Football.ru" that the legionnaires of the Russian Premier League are superior to the Russian national team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He mentioned why Karpin had the opportunity to combine two positions again. He should work at "Dinamo," but our national team seems to be sidelined.
When we played against a stronger team, like Nigeria, the boys couldn't gain any advantage. Why are we preparing?
I had suggested organizing a friendly match between the Russian national team and RPL legionnaires. Our team would play against them, so Karpin could see that the legionnaires are superior to the Russian national team.
But they didn't dare to play because they were afraid. No one said whether Anzor was really right or wrong.
Kavasavgili stated that it seems there is a ban on writing uncomfortable questions about Karpin in the press and media. This indicates the need to start serious discussions about the current state and future of the Russian national team.
Open and honest debates should be held to improve the effectiveness of the national team.
