On the eve of the friendly match between the national teams of Russia and Kyrgyzstan. To be held in Bishkek on September 24 at 17:00, MK correspondents talked to local fans and found out their mood before the match.

Less than a day is left before the start of the friendly match between the Russian national team and the Kyrgyz team. Tickets for the game are no longer available, and those who could not get tickets are going to watch the game in the trees. A full house at the almost 19,000-seat central stadium named after Dolon Umurzakov in Bishkek is guaranteed. One of the fans of the Kyrgyz national team, a local resident named Ivan, told MK who he singles out among the Russians and why he considers Karpin’s team a necessary rival for his team.

– Was it difficult to get for the match?

– Barely bought tickets for the match, to the central stand. hype. I had to go straight through to get good seats. I go to play with my friends. There will be only four of us.

– Did you get ready? How will you get sick?

– Attributes – a scarf, a home red uniform and a flag – have already been assembled and washed. We are at the start. We will get sick seriously. Of course, we will support our team. Russia is close in spirit to us, but 90 minutes on the field are our rivals. The most important thing is to play the match without injury.

– Do you have favorite players from the national team of Kyrgyzstan?

– Let’s say this about our favorite players: we love, appreciate and respect everyone! Our team, of course, has greatly improved over the past 10 years! The level has gone up. This can be seen both in the games and in the composition. It’s not just that our team reached the final of the Asian Cup for the second time. I would like to mention Valery Kichin, our cap, Mirlan Mirzaev, Gulzhigit Alykulov, Alimardon Shukurov, Alexander Mishchenko. Bekzhan Sagynbaev, Erbol Atabaev and Farkhad Musabekov. Christian Brauzman is a good fellow, he showed himself well in the youth team under 20 years old. Well, and, of course, Alexander Krestinin is the best coach of our national team of all time.

– And who would be singled out from the Russian team?

– I would very much like to see Georgy Jikia, Alexander Sobolev and Fedor Chalov on the field. At least I’ll pay attention to the game of these guys. Honestly, in my opinion, the Russian team is the best team that will perform on our lawn. Players of this level have come to us, and, having entered the field, they will set a new era for the younger generation of football players! Young players will at least be energized, they will work harder to not only get into the national team, but also to gain a foothold in it. Wait a minute, we’ll be playing against Euro bronze medalists and World Cup quarter-finalists! This is a big step in our football history of our country!

– What is your prediction for the match?

– The opponent, of course, is good and strong. And this is the right opponent for our guys. They will gain experience, and they will play at speeds. We count on every player, on the coach, on his assistants and on every fan on this day! We are a team! Strength is in unity!
