I have a feeling that after when euros finish and this shambles tournament finally ends,lot of people will retire from the national team,and that will the downfall of our team,and we will be really bad and eventually won't even qualify for next World Championship.
Tiknizyan was hinted in plain text that no one would ask this question for the fourth time, but at the same time, if he now gives a positive answer, all the necessary documents will take no more than 7-10 days to complete
Since February of this year, the 22-year-old footballer has been unable to decide on the honor of whose main team he intends to defend on the field and has already postponed negotiations on his own initiative three times (including due to his participation in the youth Euro as part of Russia U21).

Today’s tale has all the elements of a classic mystery:
- A mysterious disappearance
- Sri Lanka
- Handball
Okay, well... at least maybe just the first thing.
Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge
You’ve trained your entire life for this moment. You’ve sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears to become the best physical specimen and teammate that you can possibly be. You’ve earned your place to represent your country on an international level…
Only to lose every single match and then disappear completely.
Was it out of shame? Or something more… malicious? Sounds like a heck of a mystery, even if one player went missing. But the entire team? 23 players plus their coach & manager? What in the wild wild world of sports happened here?

They “even left their dirty laundry,” according to the police.
As the true data came to light, the reality was that the entire team plus the coach & manager were absolutely not a professional handball team. According to the GSEP officials:
>“They presented documents, and the documents looked all right, so there was no reason to [not] give [them] a visa.”
They were all legally allowed to stay in Germany for over a month so, taking advantage of that fact, they ducked out at the very first opportunity.
What we don’t know is motive (the main theories are political asylum or illegal immigration) and how everything turned out for the “team.” The original letter left in the hotel seemed to be a false lead and there were rumors that the team had gone to Italy instead.
The only thing we do know for sure, is that the head of the
