National Team

Mostovoi played for both the Soviet national team (three goals in 15 caps) and the Russian national team (10 goals in 50 caps). He is known for his temper, and has had trouble with coaches, which led to Mostovoi being sent off the team by Georgi Yartsev during Russia's trip to Euro 2004. He played in the Euro 96 and the 1994 World Cup. He was a squad member for the 2002 tournament, but he did not play due to injury.

Mostovoi's exclusion from the Euro 2004 Russia squad was made by Georgi Yartsev after Russia's loss to Spain with the score 0:1. Supposedly, Mostovoi talked with the media after the match and gave an interview saying that Yartsev was not a good coach and did not understand anything. This was proven false, after Mostovoi recently gave an interview and explained what happened 2 years ago at the European Championship. Mostovoi merely said that Yartsev overworked the players during practice, so that they didn't have the necessary energy to play well in matches. Yartsev, however, believed Mostovoi was lying that he knew nothing about the insults of Yartsev, and the coach sent home one of the most experienced Russian players. Morale dropped after Yartsev's rage, and Russia lost to Portugal in the next match.
