Head Coach CSKA Vladimir Fedotov after being defeated by “Torpedo” (0:1) in the match FONBET Cup of Russia said that the defender Maxim Mukhin played in the center of defense, because the technical staff wanted to see him evolve in this position.
— Torop ran into overtime for a corner. Is it his personal decision?
– Agreed. We had to save the match, it was one of the last standards. There is no danger here. It is possible to send guards there in each episode. You just need to know how to use it.
– Why did you decide to put Mukhin in the position of central defender, and not Lukin? Is it weaker?
– We made such a decision. We needed to understand and discover Max’s ability to play in this position. He is a defensive midfielder, there are a lot of similarities. He should feel like a fish in water. We needed this information. And Lukin’s time will come,” Fedotov told the club’s press service.
After four games in the Russian Cup, CSKA is in first place in the group (9 points), Torpedo is in third (6 points).
