FIFA World Cup 2022
Abramov believes that the Russians will not cope with the weather
Former head coach of the Uzbekistan national team Vadim Abramov shared his opinion on the possible transition of Russia to the Asian Confederation.
“I don’t think that Russia’s transition to the Asian Confederation will be used by Russian football. But of course, if the choice is between performances in Asia and complete isolation, it is better to play, of course. In general, a person should not suffer, unacceptable opportunities to practice their profession. Nobody can forbid him to work. Australia also thought that it would join the Asian Confederation and win everything. But this is far from true. Russia, too, will not churn out victory there. You may not even think that you will get an easy walk. It is very difficult to be exposed to the weather conditions that exist in Asia, ”Vseprosport.kz quotes Abramov.
In Asia, the Chess Federation of Russia (RCF) has already moved from Europe. The Russian Football Union (RFU) has not yet made a decision.
At the end of February, FIFA and UEFA suspended Russia from international competitions. Because of this, Spartak was unable to play in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, having received a forfeit defeat in matches with RB Leipzig. The Russian national team did not take place in the qualifying play-offs for the 2022 World Cup, as a result of which they failed to qualify for the tournament in Qatar.
The RFU filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), but they refused. This was due to the fact that the national teams of Sweden, the Czech Republic and Poland, who were in the same grid with Russia, refused to play with the invaders.
