MOSCOW, March 22 Forward of Dynamo Moscow and the Russian national team Konstantin Tyukavin said that in difficult times, football becomes an «outlet» for people. The Russian team gathered for a training camp despite the fact that earlier the International Football Federation (FIFA) suspended the team from participating in all international competitions for an indefinite period due to the situation in Ukraine .
"I came home, the administrator of the national team called me and said that I was called. Initially, I was supposed to come to the "youth team", but since both teams train at the base in Novogorsk, my route has not changed much. The distance between the buildings is three minutes walk. It's a shame that there will be no play-offs. But the collection is always good, we come with great desire. We are glad to see each other, to train together. It seems important to me that in difficult times football remains and becomes an outlet for people", — the website of the Russian Football Union (RFU) quotes Tyukavin as saying.
