Video of the day, according to the Russians, Petrakov's words violate the Codes of FIFA and UEFA, which forbid "any discrimination against the country" and are aimed at promoting football "in the spirit of peace". “The statements of the head coach of the national football team Alexander Petrakov are made against the background of political conflict between the two countries - Russia and Ukraine - and is a political force that clearly violates the basic principle of political neutrality.
Moreover, the behavior of the head coach can be considered as involvement in ignition of public hatred on national basis and the use of football to approve political views, " - said in a letter of the Russian Federation.
