The head coach Khimki » Andrei Talalaev said that the match of the fifth Russian Football Cup against Ufa turned out to be tricky due to the actions of the opponent.
On Wednesday, Khimki beat Ufa at home with a score of 1:0 in the fifth round of the FONBET Regional Way of the Russian Cup.
— We beat a serious opponent, we prepared with total dedication. Initially, they wanted to make eight changes to the lineup, but they only made six compared to the last two games. They paid tribute to their opponent. The Ufa players were well known. So they did not take the risk of giving a chance to the young people they were considering playing.
I watched the first half from the stands, I didn’t like the match. I don’t like it when my team doesn’t create chances in front of someone else’s goal. After the break, adjustments were made, there were more chances in the opponent’s goal, but it was dangerous in our goal as well. I think the fans didn’t like the match, but that’s the opponent’s credit. They forced us to play sticky football. Few individual actions.
He thanked the guys for their dedication. They understand that the Cup is a trophy, but we are taking it step by step. We strive to dominate the field with any opponent.
— What is Khimki’s goal in the Russian Cup?
– Win every match. The next task will be to beat the team we get in the draw on October 20. These are our tasks,” reports the correspondent, according to Talalaev’s words.
