According to Vladimir Ponomaryov, a former defender of CSKA and the USSR national team, the Russian team is incapable of showing anything significant regardless of the coach. He claims that matches involving the Russian national team are becoming uninteresting as they only play against 'chebureks and papuans'.

He is also closely following the situation with international competitions and doubts that Russia will be able to return to them in 2025 due to military actions with Ukraine.
