"There are a lot of intersections between football and music."

The Russian national football team held a training session in preparation for the European Championship, which will begin on June 11.

The lesson, which took place at a base near Moscow in Novogorsk, began at 11:30 Moscow time.

Defender Fedor Kudryashov missed him and worked out in the gym according to an individual program.

The footballer was injured during a warm-up before a friendly match with Bulgaria.

The Russian Football Union (RFU) expressed the hope that the issue of the Antalyaspor player's participation in the tournament will be resolved in the near future - after evaluating the dynamics of the starting therapy.

The defender's wife Anastasia Kudryashova also spoke about the condition of her husband.

According to her, most likely, he will miss the first two matches in the group stage.

“Yesterday there was an examination.

It showed a gap of 0.6 cm. We skip two games, this is already 100%, and the twentieth number is in question.

The guys fly to St. Petersburg without him.

Fedya will have two training sessions in the Moscow region.

He is being treated, lies with ice, we do physiotherapy: every minute is scheduled.

We will expect to recover by the twentieth, "- quotes the spouse of the footballer Sport24.

In addition, in the meeting with Bulgaria, Lokomotiv midfielder Dmitry Barinov was also damaged.

However, on the eve of his agent Pavel Banatin hastened to assure that at the moment his client does not have serious health problems.

“Dmitry Barinov is doing well.

They'll have a CT scan tonight and see the results.

He feels good, everything is fine with him.

The survey, of course, will be.

But this is more reassurance than something serious, "- said the player's agent Pavel Banatin" Sport-Express ".

Already today, the midfielder took part in the training of the national team in the general group.

Trained with teammates and midfielder Roman Evgeniev, who had not previously been included in the application for the European Championship.

The footballer of Rubin Kazan Ilya Samoshnikov and Zenit goalkeeper Andrey Lunev also worked in the general group.

As a reminder, players can be added to the tournament before the start of the first match if it becomes necessary to replace someone from the main squad.

An unusual guest visited Novogorsk on Monday.

Before the most important tournament, People's Artist of the Russian Federation and famous football fan Denis Matsuev came to support Stanislav Cherchesov's wards.

He talked to the players and shared his opinion on what they need to do to beat the most serious rival in Group B - Belgium.

According to him, for this it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions of the coaching staff.

“I always say that there are a lot of intersections between football and music: musicians are football players, conductor is a coach, training is a rehearsal, and a match is a concert.

Therefore, I see from this chemistry, which reigns here, that everything is going according to plan, ”TASS quotes Matsuev.

After the lesson, Krasnodar goalkeeper Matvey Safonov spoke about his expectations from the first meeting of Euro 2020.

“You have to get used to it a little, but you just need to do the job that you are given.

No one expects an easy match with Belgium, even if Kevin De Bruyne is not there.

If you need my help, you have to be ready.
