Russian national team defender Ilya Vahatia summed up the results of the two competitive matches with which the Russian team ended the season.
I think everything went well. I’d like to win both games, but we’ve always tested ourselves against a serious opponent and we look good. Karpin told us that we’d meet again in September and wished us good luck. Of course, there’s a bit of fatigue from the season. I’d like to restart. We’ll relax and come back with a fresh start. Vacation plans? Rest!
The Russian team tied Nigeria (1:1) and beat Belarus (4:1).
