8 March 2023
The head coach of the Russian national team Velimir Petkovic told about the team’s preparation for the friendly matches with Belarusians, which will be held in Minsk 11 and 12 March.
 
— You were good in defending under the scheme 6-0 in January matches in Moscow, but now the Belarusian team will be stronger, all the legionaries will come. Vladislav Kulesh is especially dangerous, he scores many balls from 9-10 meters. So, our players should keep up with him.
 
We always monitor five-six goalkeepers before the training session and call those, who are in the optimal form.The door to the national team has never been closed for Zabolotin. Recently, he has been playing well in the club and fully deserved the invitation to the national team. 
 
I am satisfied with my players’ motivation and attitude to each workout. We are getting prepared not only to two games in Minsk. No one knows what will come next. There is a lot of talk about the Olympic Games, and I hope we’ll have a chance to play in the qualification. Our federations tries to resolve the issue, negotiations are constantly underway, different options are being searched in contact with the IHF and the EHF. And our task is to be ready, when the positive decisions will be made, — the official HFR site quotes the words of Petkovic.
