The Brunei team will play in Krasnodar with the Russians, but there is a nuance – EADaily, November 14, 2024 – Society. News, Russian news

This has never happened before and here it is again. The coach of the Brunei national team, Vinicius Eutopio, a little embarrassed, said that only six players from the main team of the country’s national team flew to the friendly match against Russia in Krasnodar (Friday, November 15, 7:00 p.m.).

“We didn’t have time to prepare the team. We started training the boys two days ago. We don’t have enough main team players for this game. “There were some problems with obtaining permits for players in our country.” – the mentor of the guests pointed out sadly.

For his part, the president of the Brunei Football Association Faisal Yusoff he happily told reporters:

“The Russian Football Union paid us for everything, we didn’t spend a single dollar. And, of course, we agreed to pay for our match. “I don’t understand why I have to hide it.”

And there is no need to hide it, Comrade Faisal. Because the Russians will come to the match with their national team dressed in uniforms with national symbols, the Russian anthem will sound in the luxurious Krasnodar stadium and our wonderful tricolor will rise along the flagpole into the Kuban sky.

Considering that FIFA and UEFA suspended the Russian national team and the country’s clubs from participating in all international tournaments on February 28, 2022, these games are a breath of fresh air in the suffocating Russophobic international bureaucratic atmosphere.

In turn, the coach of the Russian team Victor Onopko He answered a couple of questions from journalists.

— The coach of the Brunei national team said that only six main players traveled to Russia, the rest were from the youth team.

“I didn’t know anything about this.” This is your problem, we are preparing according to our plan.

– Does this make the situation even sadder?

-Why sad? What can we do? Not going to the game, refusing? Maybe we should give them our own players? It is what it is. We prepare, we go out and we do our job.

And the head coach of the team. Valery Karpin spoke about his plans for the game:

“Our goal is always not to concede goals and score as many goals as possible. But no one said the number “10:0”. Everything possible! Five means five. Six-six. Ten-ten.”

Meanwhile, the former Spartak Moscow and Russian national team player Alexander Shirko shared his opinion on the possible holding of a friendly match between the national team and the Media League team:

“We have no other options, we start from the free teams calendar. But there are different situations, we also played with the Faroe Islands team, in which it was said that eight postmen and two policemen played. The national team needs to play with other teams, we have to look at potential newcomers.

But let’s not stoop to the Media League just yet, they have their own show there. “The option of playing with RPL clubs can be considered, but during the break many players go to their national teams, so all the circumstances must be taken into account.”

And at the end of the material, a comment from the two-time Olympic biathlon champion. Dmitry Vasiliev:

“I think this match is still more sport than politics. Because you don’t have to stew in your own juice, but rather compete with someone and understand how much world sport, and in this case football, is advancing. I understand that the Brunei team is far from the best team, but nevertheless, this match will bring some variety and something new to our players.

And politics has brought our athletes to such a situation that we have no choice but to look for new ways to improve the skills of our footballers. And this party is one of the ways and attempts, perhaps, to not degrade completely.”

PS On November 19, a friendly match between the national teams of Russia and Syria will be held in Volgograd. at the Volgograd Arena (starts at 7:30 p.m.).
