Director of the PFC CSKA Youth Sports School Oleg Kornaukhov on noted that the defender Russian national team and Moscow “Spartacus” Gueorgui Djikia made a serious mistake during a friendly match against Kenya.
The match took place on Monday at the Titanic Mardan Stadium in Antalya, Turkey, and ended with a score of 2:2. The Kenyans scored the second goal after an error by Jikia, who fired a missed header near his own penalty area.
— Dzhikia lost his place in the starting lineup (Spartak). And this cut… For a central defender, such an error is unacceptable in all circumstances. Because for a central defender, it is a normal moment of play. But when there is no playing tone… He has probably never made such a mistake. These reductions are due to the fact that he does not have confidence in himself.
There is no tone, no practice of play. The whole debate is about whether he (Red and White head coach Guillermo Abascal) positions the other defenders fairly or unfairly. . And he came here and played very badly in terms of tactics,” Karnaukhov said on .
For the Russian national team, this is the fourth match in 2023 that ended in a draw. Previously, Valery Karpin’s team did not reveal the winner of the matches against the national teams of Qatar (1:1), Egypt for players under 23 (1:1) and Iran (1:1).
