Former coach of Dynamo Kyiv and the Russian national team Boris Ignatiev said that Ukrainian football players are superior to the players of the occupying country in terms of training and skill.

" At least there were, when I worked with Semin at Dynamo Kyiv, I saw that the players there were higher in terms of training than our players. All because of the training process, and all the problems that we have now in our football, they are due to training. We need to delve into the amount of training time in more detail, set goals, understand why we train.

This question will help us move our football forward, precisely at a time when there are no international games and we need to look at our players,"

Recall that after the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine on February 24, UEFA excluded Russian clubs from European competition, and the Russian team was deprived of the right to play in the qualifying play-offs for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. On May 2, UEFA decided to remove Russian clubs and national teams from the 2022/2023 international season.
