Footballer of the Russian national team Roman Neustetted, who is a native of the Dnieper, was appointed captain of the team.

It should be noted that the player of the Turkish "Fenerbahce" got this status in a friendly game against the Moscow "Dynamo", which Stanislav Cherchesov's team won with a score of 3: 0.

It is interesting that before the match Neustetted performed the anthem of Russia, unlike some players of the team. Earlier there was information that the football player had to apologize for the performance of the anthem of Ukraine.

Nevertheless, Neustetted very longly waited for the proposal of the coaching staff of the Ukrainian national team to become a member of the team, however, as a result he applied for the registration of Russian citizenship.

So far there is no information as to whether the player will now be captain of the Russian team permanently, or it was just a trial version.

Recall that Russia is the host of the future World Cup, which is to be held in 2018.
