Former midfielder CSKA now Army Club breeder Denis Mashkarin told RB Sport that the composition of the Red-Blue in the match with “Urals” was chosen correctly, as the team won and qualified for the Russian FONBET Cup superfinal.
On Wednesday, CSKA beat Urals in the second leg of the tournament’s RPL path playoff final. The meeting in Yekaterinburg ended with the score 2:1 in favor of the guests. In the first game in Moscow, a draw was recorded – 1:1. Vladimir Fedotov’s team secured a place in the tournament’s superfinal.
– First of all, I would like to congratulate CSKA and all the fans for reaching the final, because cup matches are always very difficult. And in this match, someone had to win. And everything could turn in favor of one side or the other. Moreover, the Urals had the home ground and audience advantage, as more than 30,000 fans turned out. And with such support, the wings always grow. But we must give credit to the army team that they stayed true to their game, controlled the ball, played the first number, were able to take the lead earlier. In the first goal, I want to mention Zabolotny, who worked in defense, took the ball from someone else’s penalty area and started the attack. And Medina finished it with a very nice shot,” Mashkarin said.
By the way, about Medina. Did he take advantage of the fact that he stopped being in the team, but now he has his chance in the cup?
“It worked for the team. If there is a victory, there is a result, then the composition was chosen correctly, as well as the tactical moments. Chalov stayed on the bench, came off in the second half and scored the winning goal. So everything was correct. Although no one knows by what criteria Chalov, who is now one of the best strikers in the championship, did not enter the team.
– Maybe just a banal rotation?
– It seems to me that when it comes to reaching the final, no one thinks about rotation. Everyone thinks about the result, because any trophy is very honorable.
