The Russian national team and its star players are in Vietnam.
The Russian national team, with its high-quality players, has arrived in Hanoi to participate in the 2024 International Friendly Tournament.
On the afternoon of September 4th, the Russian national team landed at Noi Bai Airport (Hanoi) on a chartered flight to participate in the 2024 International Friendly Tournament.
Coach Valeri Karpin brought many young talents of Russian football to Vietnam to compete. In addition, the Russian team also includes well-known players such as Matvey Safonov, Konstantin Tyukavin, and midfielder Daler Kuzyayev – who has 50 caps for the national team…
The most expensive signing is PSG goalkeeper Safonov, valued at €20 million by Transfermarkt. In fact, the reigning Ligue 1 champions had to spend €20 million to sign a five-year contract with the 25-year-old goalkeeper.
He will have to compete with goalkeepers Gianluigi Donnarumma and Arnau Tenas, but he will certainly have plenty of opportunities to play as coach Luis Enrique always likes to rotate players during a long season with a packed schedule.
Initially, PSG were reluctant to release Safonov to play for the national team in this tournament. However, the French club eventually relented and allowed the talented goalkeeper to come to Vietnam.
Last season, Safonov was the best goalkeeper in the Russian Premier League, keeping 11 clean sheets in 30 matches. With 50 appearances as the Russian goalkeeper, Safonov will likely frustrate the Vietnamese and Thai strikers as they try to score against the Eastern European team.
The second most expensive player is Konstantin Tyukavin, the Dynamo Moscow striker valued at 16 million euros. At just 22 years old and with 5 caps for the national team, Tyukavin is considered a "breath of fresh air" in the Russian attack with his modern and effective playing style.
Tyukavin's Dynamo Moscow only finished third overall last season, but he personally ranked second in the top scorer list with 15 goals, only behind Mateo Cassierra (21 goals) and the reigning Russian champions, Zenit. Tyukavin can be considered the number one attacking star in the Russian national team traveling to Vietnam this time.
Therefore, the goalkeepers of the Vietnamese and Thai national teams will certainly face many challenges against Tyukavin's speed, strength, and talent at the 2024 international friendly tournament.
The match between the Vietnamese national team and the Russian national team will take place at 8:00 PM on September 5th at My Dinh Stadium.
