“We need to think about winning the match with Cyprus.
Specifically prepare for this match, then for Croatia.
Some players start thinking not about the next match, but about the future.
It is not right.
Let's start with Cyprus first, and then get ready for Croatia.
It is very prestigious for Cyprus to come and play against teams of such a level as Russia.
All footballers understand: if they play well, maybe it will turn out to go to the top championship, even to the Russian one.
Their life can change in everything - financially, other clubs, a different level.
Cyprus will come and fight.
Do not assume that Cyprus will not play.
We are obliged not to let them play football, which they love, ”Kanchelskis quotes the“ Championship ”as saying.
The Russian national team will play on November 11 in St. Petersburg against Cyprus, and on November 14 they will play a match with the Croatian national team in Split.
Earlier Mostovoy called Russia the undisputed favorite in the match with Cyprus.
