Lately there has been talk about how interesting the selection is for fans. What do you think?
Matvey Safonov: For me, this question has never arisen: the national team is certainly necessary and people are interested in it. And it is always a pleasure for me to come to the national team camp and compete for it.
Is the next match against Qatar important to you?
Matvey Safonov: For others it may vary, but for me it is important.
What is your goal for this meeting?
Matvey Safonov: Of course I want to win and return to the club with positive emotions. As part of the national team, every match is important, so we will do everything possible not to disappoint the fans.
The Qatar – Russia match will be played on September 12 at the Al Janoub stadium, which hosted matches at the 2022 World Cup. It is expected that the main team of our national team will take the field in this match.
