Tikhonov on the match with Brunei: "Some postmen will play. It would be better if our young players were paid for their underpants and T-shirts. But the entire RFU lacks the intelligence for anything more"
Match with Brunei
Former head coach of the Russian national team Yuri Tikhonov commented on the upcoming match between the Russian and Brunei national teams. The match will take place on November 19 in Dubai."I don't understand why our national team is playing with such an opponent. Brunei is 190th in the FIFA rankings. This is not a serious rival. It would be better to give our young players playing practice. But the RFU leadership is not capable of anything more," Tikhonov said.
The Russian national team will play a friendly match with the Brunei national team on November 19 in Dubai. The match will start at 14:00 Moscow time.
Tikhonov's criticism
Tikhonov has repeatedly criticized the RFU leadership. In particular, he criticized the decision to appoint Valery Karpin as head coach of the national team."Karpin is not a coach for the national team. He has no experience of working at such a level. The RFU made a mistake by appointing him," Tikhonov said.
Karpin has led the Russian national team in 10 matches. The team has won 5 matches, drawn 2 and lost 3.
