“National team criticism? It’s their opinion. Everyone has their own opinion. Why should I pay attention to that?” – The head coach of the Russian national team answered the question regarding the criticism of specialists for the national team.
On November 20, the World Cup begins, which the Russian team missed.
Karpin said: “I will not support any team in the World Cup. I have never been overly interested in the World Cup. I will watch some matches if possible. I will not watch the group stage.”
