Athletistic / Football. Former captain of Zenit, and now head coach of the media team “Pure Peter”, Vladislav Radimov, said that CSKA goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, when hitting his own goal, anticipates the moment and reacts to the ball , practically without falling after him. .
“Akinfeev has this story: you hit him on goal, and without falling, he takes and catches the ball. Igor anticipates the moments. Many goalkeepers fall beautifully, pass the ball beautifully, but here they don’t do it.
This begins to irritate the attacker or attacking football player. It looks like you did everything right, you shot in the corner – and Akinfeev was already there! It’s psychologically unpleasant,” Radimov said on Match TV.
The day before, October 29, CSKA beat Krasnodar (1:0) at home in the 13th round of the RPL, inflicting the “bulls” with their first defeat of the season. The army team, having scored 21 points, now occupies fifth place in the Russian Championship standings, 7 points behind leader Krasnodar.
