Russia starts with the challenge of proving that their last World Cup 2018 was no coincidence. The host of the last World Cup surrendered above expectations and three years later the great challenge will be to overcome the round.
Stanislav Cherchesov’s team continues to maintain the World Cup bloc and is characterized by a fierce defense and a forceful attack with the imposing Artem Dzyuba.
Added to this is the speed of players like Dennis Cheryshev, who points to a quality kick, the persistence of Aleksei Miranchuk and the magic of Aleksandr Golovin.
Since his arrival, Cherchesov provided stability to Russia, which shone in the past World Cup. There he eliminated Spain and only penalties against Croatia prevented him from reaching the ‘semi-finals’.
The qualifying phase continued along the same lines, as they won eight victories in 10 games and only lost to Belgium, their first rival in this European Championship and favorite for the title.
The Russians chain four Europeans without passing the first round, so the main objective will be to reach the quarterfinals. Beyond that, the goals are endless.
