Capello keen to test his players out against technically-gifted opponents.
Russia national team manager Fabio Capello says that Monday night’s friendly against five-time world champions Brazil will offer him the chance to have a look at many of his fringe players ahead of next summer’s World Cup finals.
Russia, who currently lead their own World Cup qualification section although did not play on Friday after their qualifier in Northern Ireland was twice postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, have amazingly never before beaten the Selecao.
However, as the wily Italian pointed out in his pre-match press conference, all records are there to be broken.
