After Spain, Italy and Portugal, now also Russian National team will count on brazilian players to improve its results in the pitch (though definitely not improving its futsal development as clearly shown in Italy). Some weeks ago we reported the news on the Dinamo Moscow players (Cirilo and Pelè Junior) naturalization as russian citizens. Now we find them again in the Russian National team, as appears in the preliminary list given by the national team coach Ivanov. A surprising news, considering the good number of young talents that Russia recently presented, like happened in Ostrava (Foukine, Shayakhmetov, Khamadiyev and so on...). Will now Russia keep on working on youth futsal?

Here is the official list of players by Oleg Ivanov, as a preparation for the friendly matches to be played against Italy.
