Manager of Russia’s U21 squad comments on draw with Armenia

Manager of Russia’s U21 football squad Yevgeniy Bushmanov commented on the draw with Armenia in the second round of UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers.

He said overall the Russian team had advantages, but had to score more.

“We lost two points, and it is very important. But I am sure that everyone will lose points in our group,” he added. “Now the most important thing for the team is, first, to recover from such an energy-consuming match, and secondly, to calm down. Today, there was too much excitement, and it hampered the game,” championat.com quotes Bushmanov.

The match at Moscow's RZD Arena ended in a goalless draw. In the first match of the qualifying round Armenian squad beat Gibraltar 3-0, and for the Russians it was the first game. On September 5, the Armenian youth team will host the Macedonians.
