Evgeny Gomelsky, Dynamo president shared his impressions on the tournament: "we weren't lucky in the match against Portugal. On the third minute Andrey Kornev got trauma and could not return to the pitch. Taking into account that during the training the day before Vladislav Kondratov also got a trauma, it was difficult to win. The Portugal squad Russian team will be playing with these days are in their strongest composure. And in the final match our playing coach Sergey Basarevich has decided not to come to the pitch but to direct our actions from the bench". |
