MOSCOW, Oct 27, Dmitry Edigarev. Forward of the St. Petersburg football club «Zenith» Ivan Sergeev said in an interview that the Russian team could get to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Earlier, FIFA and UEFA issued a joint statement according to which Russian teams and clubs were suspended from participating in all international competitions, including the World Cup, which will be held in Qatar in the fall, for an indefinite period due to the situation in Ukraine. «I think it's a shame not only for me. We weren't even given a chance to play play-offs. It would be great to get to the World Cup, because we performed well in the last tournament. I think «we could beat the Poles, because we are no worse than them. Everyone dreamed about it, especially those who have not yet played at the World and European Championships. But such is life. I hope that everything will get better soon. If everything goes well, then I will find some some tournament, I think that's all You can still go to Europe. Scouts are watching anyway. The same Alexander Golovin and Alexey Miranchuk play in Europe. Yes, they left earlier, but now the chances are 50/50,» Sergeev said. Read the full interview with Ivan Sergeev at rsport.ria.ru.
