Sports journalist Vasily Utkin on his YouTube channel criticized the head coach of the Russian national football team Stanislav Cherchesov after the defeat from Serbia.
The commentator stated that he refuses to consider the specialist a coach, since he is a bureaucrat. Utkin also noted that the Russian national team plays too defensive football with a lack of strategy.
“I was very upset with this result. The question of the competence of the coaching staff has been raised for a long time, it is simply convenient not to notice it, ”the journalist added.
The final match in their group in the League of Nations, the Russian national team lost to Serbia on November 18 with a score of 0: 5. Before that, the team lost to the Turks.
Defeats did not allow Cherchesov's 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.
