“These are young players who do not always play in the national team of Russia. I believe that this is absolutely correct, because these players will help. I hope our youth team will be able to get to the European Championship, we have not been there for a long time, ”TASS quoted Gazzaev as saying.

He noted that getting into the youth Euro-2021 is an important stage for the development of players.

“The first team has been tested, there are more experienced players. The first team is not an experiment, so this is the right step, because you need to think about the main team and the youth, ”added the specialist.

The next match the Russian team will play on September 2 and 9 with Scotland and Kazakhstan, respectively, while the youth team on September 6 and 10 will play with Serbia and Bulgaria.

Earlier, Fedor Chalov said he would give all the best for 110% in matches for the Russian youth team.
