Guardian of St. Petersburg “Zenith » Mikhail Kerjakov in an interview with he explained why he considers the Croatian Dominik Livakovitch the best goalkeeper of the 2022 World Cup.
At a tournament held in Qatar, Livakovic, together with the Croatian team, became a bronze medalist. At the moment, the 28-year-old goalkeeper plays for Dinamo Zagreb.
– In training in Qatar, I periodically heard a remark from you to other goalkeepers: “Turn on Martinez.” Did the Argentine World Cup goalkeeper impress you?
– Penalty shootouts only. Therefore, I say this in training when we have penalties,” Kerzhakov told .
– So you don’t consider Emiliano Martinez the best goalkeeper in the World Cup?
– Not. Why? Martinez has really shone for the past three years. But after what I saw in his performance in England, I think in Qatar he played below his level. The Argentinian could be better.
– Who, according to your version, is the best goalkeeper of the World Cup?
– For me – Livakovitch. To be honest, I chose between him and the Moroccan Yassin Bunu, who has also played very well in recent years in Seville. In Qatar, he has just performed at his level. But Livakovich was much better than at Dynamo.
I’m not saying that the Croatian, in principle, is better than Bunu and Martinez. However, it was at the World Championships that Livakovich looked taller than him. He played the tournament almost flawlessly. Plus a string of penalties he dragged the team through. And in the match with the Brazilian national team, he usually took out the Croats, one might say, solo. So Livakovitch. Now I remember Dejan Lovren.
– Related to what?
– After Livakovich’s games for Dynamo, he said to him: “Look what kind of goalkeeper you have.” And Dejan jokingly: “Come on, what’s up?” After the Croatia-Japan match, Lovren wrote: “Well, Livakovic.” This time he agreed: “Yes, you are right.”
