The Russian team with a squad of quality players has arrived in Hanoi to participate in the 2024 International Friendly Tournament.

On the afternoon of September 4, the Russian team boarded a private plane to Noi Bai Airport (Hanoi) to attend the 2024 International Friendly Tournament.

Coach Valeri Karpin has brought many young Russian football talents to Vietnam to compete. Besides, the Russian team also has well-known faces such as Matvey Safonov, Konstantin Tyukavin or midfielder Daler Kuzyayev - who has played 50 times for the national team...

The most expensive player is PSG goalkeeper Safonov, valued at 20 million euros by Transfermarkt. In fact, the current Ligue 1 champions had to pay 20 million euros to sign a 5-year contract with this 25-year-old goalkeeper.

He will have to compete with goalkeepers Gianluigi Donnarumma and Arnau Tenas, but will certainly have plenty of opportunities as coach Luis Enrique likes to rotate his players during a long season with a tight fixture list.

Initially, PSG did not want to release Safonov to play for the national team in this tournament. However, the French team finally gave in and let this talented goalkeeper come to Vietnam.

Last season, Safonov was the best goalkeeper in the Russian Premier League, keeping 11 clean sheets in 30 games. With 50 times of experience in the Russian Bears' goal, Safonov will discourage the strikers of the Vietnamese and Thai teams in their search for goals against the Eastern European team.

The second most expensive is Konstantin Tyukavin, a striker from Dynamo Moscow, valued at 16 million euros. Only 22 years old this year and having played 5 times for the national team, Tyukavin is considered a "breath of fresh air" in the Russian Bears' attack with a modern and effective playing style.

Tyukavin's Dynamo Moscow finished third last season, but he was second in the top scorer list with 15 goals, behind only Mateo Cassierra (21 goals) of the reigning Russian champions Zenit. Tyukavin can be considered the number one attacking star in the Russian team's list to Vietnam this time.

Therefore, the goalkeepers of the Vietnamese and Thai teams will certainly face many challenges against Tyukavin's speed, strength and talent at the 2024 international friendly tournament.

The match between Vietnam and Russia will take place at 8:00 p.m. on September 5 at My Dinh Stadium.
