Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated the head of the football team, Stanislaw Chertschessow, despite the quarter-finals of the World Cup. "He called me shortly after the match and congratulated us on a great match," said Chertschessow in the quarter-finals on Saturday night after a 3-4 penalty shootout against Croatia.
"But I told him that we are disappointed, and he replied that we should keep our eyes open and take our next steps," said the former goalkeeper and coach of FC Tirol. Putin was not in the stadium at the match in Sochi. Instead, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was at the tribune of the Fischt stadium.
