The former Russian coach wants to bring Russia back into the game. “Why is Russia worse?”
The Russians feared that their football association might be excluded from FIFA structures. It could have happened at the congress of this organization. One of the points of the program was the issue of kicking some federations out of FIFA. In this context, however, was ultimately out of the question. Not only that – Russian has been recognized as one of the six main languages of FIFA. So the Russians could breathe a sigh of relief. – It is important that we are not kicked out of FIFA and UEFA. Our teams have just been suspended. It is not known when they will be hung up. Maybe soon, and maybe next year – said Valery Gazzaev, former Soviet footballer and coach of the Russian national team in 2002-2003 in an interview with the Russian portal.

A moment later, however, he blurted out that he did not agree with the exclusion of the representation Russia. He made an absurd comparison to support his views. – By the way, I think that our team should be given the opportunity to participate in international tournaments. Remember when English clubs were suspended five years after the tragedy at Heysel, where the 1985 European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus took place? This did not affect the England national team. She took part in the world and European championships. Why did they treat Russia differently? Why is it worse? Gazzayev asked. Let us remind you that in 1985 riots broke out at the Heysel stadium, started by hooligans. Liverpool. As a result, 39 people died.
Gazzayev added that at the FIFA congress, the Russian union should defend its views and lobby for the country’s national team to be returned to the game. – At the FIFA Congress, you had to ask the question: okay, you removed the clubs, but the national team has to play! This is an idea that needs to be defended. But this is the responsibility of the relationship – he added.
The Russians throw increasingly absurd arguments in support of their theses about their representation. Recently, one of the Russian sports commentators statedthat the Poles should be forfeited for “failing to appear” with Russia in the World Cup play-offs.
