The team&#8217;s play was influenced by the fact that  the players are in varying degrees of readiness. Anyway, this match  will be a bad memory for Russian football,&#8221; Advocaat told <em>Championat.ru<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s  not surprising the players are tired, many of them are preparing for  the season with their clubs and we held two days of training. In the  first-half there were fragments of the game which weren&#8217;t bad but in the  second we failed to produce any quality football.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Many players  were not fit enough for a whole game and a large number of replacements  were required to comply with the needs of Russian teams playing in  Europe next week,&#8221; the coach explained.<\/p>\n<p> Russian Football Union  president Sergei Fursenko commented after the match that it was  disappointing to lose but it may not be all bad if the result motivates  the team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s unpleasant to lose and critics of the team will  no doubt increase. However, it was just a friendly match and it tested  some new connections. Despite the defeat the game was very useful for  us, because Iran&#8217;s team is very similar to Armenia. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe it  was better to lose, now they will come back better and meaner. You  remember how we played against Ireland after losing to Slovakia, we  destroyed them,&#8221; the RFU chief said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In general this was not a tragedy, although I would still like to see football played with greater desire.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goal.com &#8211; ABU DHABI, Russia coach Dick Advocaat was clearly unsatisfied with the Sbornaya&#8217;s second&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22614,"featured_media":11905,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c13-team-melli-news"],"views":4034,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22614"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
