Head coach of the Russian national team Stanislav Cherchesov, commented on the results of the EURO-2020 qualification draw.

- What do you think about our group?

- A fairly equal group. It is clear that the Belgians are the favorites. We should carefully study all of the teams, because we have not played with any of them for the recent years. Except Belgium, of course.

- Are there any teams in our group that can show unexpected results?

- We are not particularly interested in surprises ... We must be ready for everything.

- What do you know about Kazakhstan football?

- The FC "Astana" has played well at the European arena for the recent years - in particular, they played in the Champions League group. The FC "Kairat", of course, is very well known. I know some players and that Stanimir Stoilov is the coach now. Mr. Stoilov is a good level coach, which means that the national team of Kazakhstan also play well.
