The Russian national football team on March 24 begins in Malta the struggle for a ticket to the World Cup 2022 in Qatar

36 months ago, the wards of Stanislav Cherchesov got to a large tournament without selection. Just because the 2018 Mundial took place in the fields of our country. Now, the quarter -finalist of the world home championship will have to work hard to participate in the hot Qatari battles scheduled for November -December next year.

Of course, today there are no guarantees that in winter in Africa, steep actors from 32 prefabricated are driving the ball. Firstly, Covid does not think to go to offside, and, secondly, a powerful campaign to boil the planetary forum is deployed by Norwegian club teams, outraged by the one

That at the construction sites of the Qatari stadiums and other facilities accompanying the holiday, about 7,000 migrant workers have already died.

Yes, and the investigation that the sheikhs bribed FIFA members during the election of the country of the country did not fade and has a chance to cover football in the desert. Nevertheless, a rather rich qualifying tournament for the festival in the Middle East begins in the Old World on Wednesday.

In spring and autumn, the teams will hold traditional two -day duels (houses and visiting), and only ten winners of groups will directly fall into Qatar. Ten teams who took second places, together with two losers of the League of Nations-2021, will go to the playoffs, where three more additional European passes will be played. The semi -finals and finals of this comforting competition will be held in March 2022. Many experts believe that in a successful situation in this mini-forum, the fate of our long-suffering team will be decided.

Let me remind you that, according to the draw, held in Zurich before the New Year holidays, the Russians got funny Croats, stubborn Slovenes and Slovaks, sunny cyprices and carefree Maltese.

All competitors except Malta are well familiar. The “gang” of Luke Modric, having defeated England at Wembley in 2007, gave us participation in Euro 2008, and in 2018 she did not let Dziubu and the company into the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup. The Slovenes staged a memorable “Maribor” for everyone, depriving Hus Hiddinka and Andrei Arshavin Supervision of a trip to South Africa. Slovak "collective farm" painfully clicked on the nose of Leonid Slutsky and Akinfeev's friends at Euro 2016. And if anyone forgot, in 1997, two important points from the wards of Boris Ignatiev, who were then blushed in butt fights with Italians and flew past the French fair, took away. By the way, the ball from Cypriots in front of Yuri Luzhkov and Gennady Khazanov, who visited the island on a visit, then missed the current mentor of the Russian national team in paralymni ...

Stanislav Cherchesov did not begin to be wise and called in three March fights mostly proven fighters from the capital's and provincial clubs, four legionnaires, as well as seven representatives of Zenit. And, in particular, he returned to the clip of Artem Dziubu, who, after publishing an intimate video with his participation, did not put on a T -shirt with a double -headed eagle and rested from “manual glory”. True, the disgraced captain, as shown by the championship of the country, is not in the best physical form and misses even from the penalty. The tactics “Burn on Dziubu, and there he will understand”, only in the game with Malta on Wednesday. Although, in fact, there is no one and no one to hang. Obviously, the forwards in Rus' have come down. In the partners, Artem has only two - the Spartakovets Alexander Sobolev and the not very effective Sochi Anton Zabolotny always fall.

By the way, the RFU, trying to create favorable conditions for Cherchesov’s wards, asked UEFA to postpone the meeting from Ta-Kali to Sochi, citing the fact that in the territory of the Russian Federation, performances with spectators can now be held. However, he received a decisive refusal. But the southern fans (the battle with the Slovenia will be held on March 27 at the Fisht stadium) will probably see our two legionnaires - Alexander Golovin and Alexei Miranchuk, who sometimes rustle in Monaco and Atalanta very impressively. The former Armets, who earned 11 points in the “GOL+PAS” system in 14 matches for Monegasks, was especially good after the injury. But one Golovin, as you know, is not a warrior in the field. In addition, for technical, French-Italian reasons, both midfielders will not be able to go through a five-day gathering with their partners and will be forced, as they say, finit from the sheet.

He adds to Cherchesov a headache and another point: the starting selection of selection in March coincides with the youth championship of Europe, in which the Russians will take part for the first time in a long time. If not for the “children's tournament”, you could try to pour fresh blood into the weakened organism and cheer up individual veterans. And so, most likely, you will again have to leave in Zhirkov and Ionov with Smolnikov.

However, the all -knowing bookmakers in the victory of the Russians over Malta and Slovenia do not doubt. But in the game with Slovakia, which will take place on March 30 in Trnava with empty stands, analysts do not see the favorite.

However, forecasts are ungrateful and empty. Especially in relation to the national team, the last matches of which, as you remember, only confirmed the old truth: “Our hearts' champions” equally hard to butt with leaders, even with outsiders. Each Serbian dog, as they say, is ready to bite tightly. Even five times. By the way, instead of the naturalized Brazilian Marinato Guillerme, who enjoyed more than usual in the cold Belgrade, Cherchesov invited Yuri Dupine from Rubin. Although there is almost no doubt that the last line in official matches will remain for Dynamo Anton Shunin. But on a specific question: "Will the Russian team go to Qatar?" -The mustachioed commander in chief, who recently bought a new German car for 5 million rubles, answered evasively and disgracely: “It is good that we did not get the Germans. The group is flat. We will enter the struggle for a ticket. ”
It does not sound too affirmative, but when the starting composition depends, including, on the PCR tests, all developments are really often covered with a copper basin. By the way, the coach himself, who was vaccinated against coronavirus in front of the television cameras, said that his antibodies are now “Zer Hud”, and advised him to follow his example of all those involved in the national team. That's just from football diseases, the Sputnik V will hardly save. It is no secret that the sponsored Stanislav Cherchesov, who brightly flashed at the home mundial and qualified without any problems at Euro 2020, by the end of last year again stalled and lost the entire battle fuse.

And by and large there are no reasons for optimism. In the FIFA ranking, the team, which does not have a well-thought-out strategy and does not know the victories of 6 matches, sank to 39th place.

But even lower, she fell in the eyes of the fans after an interview with Stanislav Salamovich, who dumped all the blame for the failure in the League of Nations on the players who were already abused among themselves. But in the summer of Physruk, Cherchesov and his sleepy army are also waiting for the continental championship, where it should also not be hit in the lawn.

But for now, having discarded all the insults, you should give all the next qualifying matches so that in late autumn not to go to Slovenia and Croatia by tourists.
