“Yes, Russia has a good team. I know Russian players, I know the Russian Premier League, to which we have even contributed. The famous Hungarian referee Viktor Kashshai, who has been several times recognized as one of the best referees, now heads the judiciary of the Russian Football Union. He worked at the finals of a football tournament at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Therefore, I think you will be able to perform well. By the way, in September Hungary will meet with Russia in the UEFA Nations League, ”Siyyarto said in an interview with RT.
At the group stage of the 2020 European Championship, the Russian team will meet with Denmark, Finland and Belgium. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the tournament was postponed to 2021 and will be held from June 11 to July 11.
Siyyarto previously spoke about the meeting with CSKA goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev.
