NOVOGORSK (Moscow region), June 3, Svetlana Bonopartova. The head coach of the Russian national team, Valery Karpin, said that during the training of the national team he encouraged his assistant Viktor Onopko, who took part in the lesson along with the players.
The national team trained on Monday in Novogorsk. 54-year-old coach of the Russian national team Onopko took part in the lesson along with the players.
“”I won’t evaluate. I encouraged him so that he wouldn’t “die” at all,” Karpin told reporters.
Karpin explained that Onopko’s appearance in training was due to the shortage of full-backs.
“We have a deficit. That's why Savelich is a fullback today. There is not much choice now to call someone. Many people are on vacation and it is wrong to interrupt a person’s vacation. Let’s meet them all,” said the head coach of the national team.
The friendly match between the Russian and Belarus national teams will take place on June 7 in Minsk.
