Cheryshev's return and Zobnin's confidence in success at Euro: how the Russian team spent another day of training camp

The long-awaited replenishment took place in the Russian national team at the training camp in Neustift, Austria.

After the end of the Spanish Championship, Valencia midfielder Denis Cheryshev arrived.

He has already conducted the first training session under the guidance of head coach Stanislav Cherchesov, during which he worked in the general group.

The next lesson began with a warm-up on the field.

The players needed to warm up well as the weather in Tyrol is still cool.

After her, they went to the gym.

All Cherchesov's charges took part in the group training, with the exception of Spartak striker Alexander Sobolev.

Despite the fact that Russian footballers are preparing for the European Championship 2020 away from home, there are fans even here who are ready to support them.

So, after the previous training at the exit from the field, Artyom Dziuba was waiting for a family with a little boy.

The young fan was initially very skeptical of the captain of the national team, but he managed not only to calm him down, but also to cheer him up.

Traditionally, the first days of training camps can be tough for players, especially given the recent end of the domestic championships.

However, according to the Dynamo midfielder Daniil Fomin, addiction gradually sets in.

“It's easier today.

The goal is one - to prepare well for the tournament.

The weather with rain is pleasant, not hot.

It's more comfortable this way.

Especially when heavy loads ", - quotes Fomin" Championship ".

Like the rest of his teammates, the player is looking forward to the start of Euro 2020, which could become one of the biggest tournaments in his career at the moment.

At the same time, he admitted that he is not worried that not everyone will be included in the final line-up.

“Euro is something special, I look forward to it, a big event for any player.

I would like to get in and participate.

I'm not nervous about being unhooked.

There are no such thoughts.

I go out to practice to work, show myself and believe that everything will be fine, ”he added.

Commenting on Cheryshev's arrival, the midfielder said that he is well acquainted with both himself and his father Dmitry Cheryshev.

From 2018 to 2019, he trained under the guidance of a specialist at Nizhny Novgorod.

“We know Denis.

I played with his father, there are topics for conversation, we have already talked.

He watched my games in Nizhny Novgorod, so we can talk about it, remember something, ”concluded Fomin.

Many players note the changes that have occurred to the Russian national team since the 2018 World Cup.

According to Spartak midfielder Roman Zobnin, a change of generations is noticeable, so now experienced players feel responsible to their younger partners.

“There are a lot of new guys, we have to convey to them the spirit that was at the World Championships.

I'm not the only one who should be an example for the young - everyone who has been in the team for a long time.

They must show in training, in matches.

The national team is ready for such success as at the World Championships, but there are many nuances: who will join the ranks, will there be injuries.

We want to repeat that success.

The tasks should be gradual, now - prepare well, then - the hardest match with Belgium, ”Zobnin explained.

At the same time, in his opinion, only the head coach has not changed in three years.

“Has Cherchesov changed?

For me, no.

He became more experienced, you can see it from him.

I know all the work that we do at the training camp - we have already done it before the Confederations Cup and before the World Championship.

Everything is familiar to me, we know what will happen tomorrow.

But the work is hard, ”added the midfielder.

Former "Spartak" mentor Domenico Tedesco described his ward as a very versatile player who can be useful for any specialist.

The athlete is sure that this is a plus for himself.

“It's good for a football player when he can play in different positions.

Adjusting is not a problem for me.

It is clear that Cherchesov wants to see me in the center, but if it is necessary to play on the right, left or somewhere else, then I am ready.

But we have enough people like that.

Did you get nervous when Mario Feranandez felt uncomfortable in training?

There is Vyacheslav Karavaev.

We have good players, ”he assured.

On the eve of the red and white announced the appointment of the head coach of the Portuguese specialist Ruy Vitoria.

Zobnin admitted that he learned about it from social networks.

“I learned about Vitoria, like everyone else,” I watched the video with chess.

There was a Portuguese flag - I realized that he would be appointed.

I can’t judge in any way, I’m in the national team, I have to perform here successfully.

When I get to Spartak, then I will be able to speak.

Even with Georgy Dzhikia I did not discuss, we are in the national team, thoughts in general about something else.

We are not talking about Spartak here, ”the footballer explained.

In conclusion, Zobnin commented on the information that appeared in the media that he intends to leave the Russian championship, where he is allegedly not satisfied with refereeing, in order to play in one of the European teams.

It is noted that this has been one of his goals over the past two years.

“It all depends on the proposal. Of course, I have thoughts of going to Europe. This is more a desire than a goal. Conventional "Atalanta" for me is a top club. The closest thing to a transfer was when we became champions and after the World Cup. But I will not name the clubs, I can only say that they are from Germany. Wasn't the story with Daler Kuzyaev, who was a free agent, confused? Everyone has a different situation. Now I have a contract with Spartak, it’s too early to think about it, ”Zobnin said.
