Despite the fact that their game has recently raised some questions from the public, they are still, in absentia, considered those from whom they expect a special game and victories. Objectively, it would be a great success if they The Russian team cannot compete with the giants either by name or by title, and it would be reckless to expect more than an exit from the group.
