Former footballer of Dynamo Moscow and Rostov Vitali Diakov told that Russia had a problem with good central defenders.
Monday Russian team played a draw with the Kenyan team in a friendly match. The match in Antalya ended with a score of 2:2. The Kenyans scored the second goal after a defender error Georges Dzhikia who unsuccessfully played with his head near his own penalty area.
— It is clear that Jikia lacks match training. It affects his game, his movements, his actions. The choice among central defenders in Russia is limited. There is quantity, but not quality. Therefore, Valery Karpin calls proven guys. Of course, if Dzhikia plays for Spartak, he will be much better on the pitch. It is difficult to show your level without stable playing practice,” Dyakov told .
Dzhikia has played nine matches for Spartak in all tournaments this season.
