Guardian of Samara “Wings of the Soviets” Ivan Lomayev say why Igor Akinfeev of CSKA has been Russia’s best goalkeeper for more than a decade.
Lomaev in the last RPL season entered the top three in dry matches – he and Khimki’s Ilya Lantratov had 9 each, Akinfeev had 13.
– People often overestimate saves – the goalkeeper on the line basically takes what they have to take. I’ll tell you even more: if the goalkeeper does everything right, the save usually doesn’t look spectacular at all. Here Akinfeev has taken the correct position for 20 years, a lot of balls fall on him. And when you take the wrong position, you often get spectacular saves. That’s why I say playing on the line is something that works. Your merit is much greater in the leadership of the defense, the game on the outings and the game with the feet,” Lomaev quotes Sports.ru.
