Russia Team 2018

In the three posts after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1994, 2002 and 2014, the team failed to reach the exit of the defeated roles and if successful in 2018 a copy at home would be a real achievement for the coach Stanislav Cherechisov.

Cherchyshev took the lead after the early exit of the 2016 European Championship and the options were limited to him to strengthen the team. Unlike the rest of the World Cup teams, Russia did not have the opportunity to strengthen their strength through the qualifiers and relied on friendly matches to prepare for the finals. Critics say Russia's players, mostly from the local league, have moved away from heavyweight competitions that prevent their development.

Russia is dependent on veteran goalkeeper Igor Akiniviev, who has a frantic pace in international matches. At the 2014 World Cup, Aquiniv failed to catch an easy lead to a 1-1 draw with South Korea, a result that helped Russia out of the group stage without a win.

Russia hopes to shine a bilateral attack, Alexander Kokorin and Fedor Smolov local league scorer this season with nine and eight goals respectively. Zenit St Petersburg's Kokorin seemed to have regained his standard and returned to the team for the first time in nearly a year.

The Russian coach has introduced many new faces, such as Viktor Vasin, defender of CSKA Moscow, Ruben Kazan defender Vyodor Kordashov and Spartak Moscow's Georgi Dzikia.
