MOSCOW, September 19, Vasily Bogdanov. Head coach of the Russian national youth football team In a conversation with Mikhail Galaktionov, the behavior of Dynamo defender Saba Sazonov, who refused to play for the team at the last moment, was unacceptable. On September 15, the 20-year-old football player was called up to the youth team of Russia, which began a training camp on September 19. At the same time, initially Sazonov was not included in the Georgian youth team, which was also announced on September 15. Sazonov had not played for the youth teams of Russia and Georgia before. «Saba Sazonov, along with other players of the Dynamo football club, received a call-up to the Russian youth team last week. After the end of the next round of the RPL, the coaching and administrative staff of the team were waiting for the usual arrival of the players at the base in Novogorsk. All the players arrived on time, except for Sazonov. On Monday morning, the player informed the national team manager that he would not arrive, although he was in touch with the administrative headquarters until the last day. We do not want to discuss the player's personal decision to play for another national federation , since this is his personal desire. But we categorically do not accept such behavior of the player in relation to the Russian national team, «Galaktionov said.
