Head Coach CSKA Vladimir Fedotov in a press conference, he named the reasons for the defeat in the match of the PARI Premier Cup against Zenit (0-3).
– It is difficult to comment on such matches. The first half was not so bad, they could have scored,” said Fedotov. – We lacked control, lacked structure, we sinned with individual play, we got caught on a counter- attack. Something worked, but there are enough questions and nuances. There is material for analysis, few discoveries, especially in our attacking group. Football is diverse, of course, but when there is space, and we don’t try to open it, we have to draw conclusions.
The second half is a stupid, ridiculous penalty. Then the freshness left, the substitutes confirmed that it is still difficult for the boys to compete with serious rivals, there is nothing to complain about at will. Collections will arrive tomorrow, there will be more of us, we don’t have time, we need shifts. Plus a few injuries: we had to release a defender from the youth team today.
– What was put in Ejuka’s head during the break?
We were talking about defence. This is not an area where one can rest on one’s laurels. If we lose the ball, who has to return it? Yes, the preparation is not ideal, but this cannot be overlooked, it concerns our two initiates.
– You have a shot on target today. How? Your “Sochi” recently tore “Dynamo”!
– I agree, but it takes time to build a team. There is nothing to complain about the dedication, the rest will be added I hope. The work done needs to be digested, then a difficult season awaits us. Added to this are injuries and a small number of players.
– How do you find Oblyakov in the support area?
– I liked it. He kept the ball, sharpened it, was productive in defense. But he played in this position not from a good life, but from a lack of full-time artists.
The CSKA – Zenit match gathered 7263 spectators. Sochi and PARI NN also participate in the tournament.
