Russia captain Victor Onopko was the only player
not surprised by 18-year-old forward Dmitri Sychev's contribution during his
substitute appearance in the win against Tunisia.
Sychev became the youngest player to play for the national team in the World
Cup finals when he took the field in the 55th minute on Wednesday.
Onopko told Sport-Express: "It looked like Sychev had played many games for
the national team and that the World Cup is something usual for him.
"He had neither fear nor nervousness. However, I haven't been surprised
because I know his real skills,"
