Stanislav Cherchesov
The head coach of the Russian national team Stanislav Cherchesov was outraged by the questions of journalists after the team was defeated by the Serbs in the final round match of the League of Nations. The video behind the scenes of the post-match conference was posted on Twitter by Sport24 journalist Alexander Zanfirov.
Cherchesov said that he was not to blame for the poor performance of the team. “Why should I be dismissed? Due to the fact that 20 people are not on the team? Am I to blame for this? Well, not 20 … How much, 14? 5: 0? So what? 5: 0 will give us more, ”the coach was indignant.
At the post-match conference, Cherchesov spoke about a possible resignation, saying that this issue should not be addressed specifically to him. The coach stressed that his players started the tournament well and had an unsuccessful ending.
In the last match in their group in the League of Nations, the Russian national team was defeated by the Serbs with a score of 0: 5. The defeat did not allow the team to take first place in the group and break into the elite division of the tournament. In addition, Russia lost a place in the second pot in the selection draw for the 2022 World Cup.
