The Russian national team wants to compete against Chile
The honorary president of the Russian Football Federation, Vyacheslav Koloskov, shared his thoughts on a potential friendly match between the Russian and Chilean national teams. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, if the Russian team plays against Vietnam, Chile would be a huge rival. Of course, Chile is a serious opponent for the Russian national team and is considered one of the strongest teams in South America.
The Russian national team has been banned from international competitions since February 2022. Therefore, Valery Karpin's players are only holding friendly matches.
In their last game, the Russian players achieved a clear victory over the Belarusian national team with a score of 4:1. This result is significant in the team's recovery process and provides a positive signal for future rankings.
At the same time, due to international restrictions, the national team is trying to maintain its potential only through friendly games. Koloskov emphasized that playing against strong opponents like Chile will help the team regain its place on the world football stage.
Such games not only enhance the players' experience but also strengthen competitiveness on the field. Thus, Russian football is striving to restore its position on the international stage, and such friendly matches will be crucial in preparing for future competitions.
