“We didn’t have time to get to know the field yet, although we spent two days here.

They took care of the field and prepared for the match.

Now, after the press conference, let's see what the state of the lawn is, how it breathes under the roof.

As for the fans, of course, I would like to see a full stadium.

Therefore, I would like to ask all the fans tomorrow to help as much as possible, to cheer for the national team at the stadium - those who can, of course.

We will be grateful, ”Karpin said at a press conference.

The national teams of Russia and Cyprus will play on November 11 in St. Petersburg.

The beginning is at 20:00 Moscow time.

Earlier, Karpin expressed the opinion that Jikia will be able to enter the field with Cyprus.
