“First of all, it brings results. Of course, a match for a match is not necessary, but in general, this style has the right to life. I can’t say that I don’t like something. It all depends on the state and tasks of the team at a particular moment. The game differs depending on the opponent, tournament tasks and other factors, ”Malafeev said in an interview with RT.
He also expressed the view that the current Russian team is able to repeat the achievement of 2008 at the upcoming European Championship.
“Of course, the selection of players allows Russia to fight with the giants. However, one cannot deny such a thing as the total value of the team. According to this parameter, the wards of Stanislav Cherchesov are noticeably inferior to many of their future rivals in the tournament, ”added Malafeev.
Earlier, Malafeev recalled why Zenit beat Manchester United in the UEFA Super Cup.
