Russia – Poland in the play-off for the 2022 World Cup. Coach Karpin is already “arming” the team for the match with Poland
In Russia they will announce in three days which stadiums they will play against us, but they are actually starting to make confrontations with “White and Reds”.
Last Tuesday, Karpin represented the meeting with the country. No other FIFA date was found, just after the league matches he called the guys to the meeting. Journalists even accused him that it was secret.
– What a secret meeting there. We just didn’t want to go publicizing. We felt the need to organize such a meeting, so we designed the food – the selector told “Sport-Express”.
He revealed, however, that with the team he discussed the 0-1 match against Croatia, which pushed “Sborna” to play-offs, as well as what awaits his players in the match against “White-Reds”.
– We had to load up with the players before they went on winter holidays. There are many challenges ahead of us, incl. good physical preparation of the players for the play-offs. To this end, we opened a channel of communication with clubs, work was carried out in proofreading. We would like club members that can be tagged with feedback, subjected to the club in the pre-game period. We have no explanations yet, said the Russian coach.
Not all members of the staff could attend a meeting with him. not Kudryashov (Antalyaspor). Those who could not come, negotiate with the creation by phone. Rifat Zemaletdinov from Lokomotiv Moscow was late for the meeting.
– But no one scolded him for it. He warned us that he would be a bit late – added the coach.
Karpinł devotes his attention to working on mental performance. After the match against the match, they accused them of being afraid of the result of Chor. He is convinced that such a meeting helped.
– The guys won’t forget anything. They will go on holidays, having time to think about what I told them – a considered selector.
He attended to play before the spring round match, pin football or training camp with Poland ten times.
Karpin and the Russian Football Federation are reflecting on how they are with Poland. Is Moscow a leader?
– We have our site map. We follow criteria such as the climate and the condition of the grassland. For example, in Rostov in March it is not as warm as everything else. We did not think about Yekaterinburg. Moscow or Krasnodar? If, due to the pandemic, it is possible to set up a painting only in 50%, then Luzhniki would be the best. But it will be chill on them! The Poles do not care about the 52-year-old coach.
Inquiries for optimism to strive for success by our students:
– We drew Poland and nothing extraordinary happened. Hope is that our footballers can play achievements. Don’t dig, just play! Mine is the author of this game. I blindly believe that guys can play achievements. There is no point in living without faith. Faith is also produced by being wrong, mistakes – mistakes – philosophically! Valery Karpin.
