Abstract

Why doesn't our national team have its own style of play? Spain has "tiki-taka", Italy has "ca tenaccio", the British prefer open "hit-and-run" football, the Brazilians have a bright and technical "jing", the Germans play on the counterattack, and the French won the World Cup in our country in the 18th year with their pragmatic game? A genetic predisposition to other types of spores? Poor infrastructure? The wrong climate region? The decline of the coaching school, even in comparison with the USSR? Homicide and corruption? Or maybe the lack of football traditions in general? Let's figure it out. The purpose of the study is to identify possible reasons for the lag of Russian football in comparison with the world level. Organization and methods of research. Although there are problems, it can be noted that in recent years the Russian government has shown greater interest in the development of sports, including football, and has taken steps to improve infrastructure. Conclusions . The lack of participation of Russian clubs in European competitions has a negative impact on various aspects of Russian football, but this can be a catalyst for finding new ways, for example, participation in the Asian Champions League, or they may create an analog of the KHL, with the strongest clubs in the CIS.
