Former coach CSKA Vyacheslav Chanov said that currently the Russian school of goalkeepers is at a very high level.
— A very important element of Akinfeev’s game is his stability, and this is one of the main qualities by which a goalkeeper can be evaluated. If we talk about who now shows a similar level to Igor, then I can say that we have a lot of good players, but in one season they shine and in another they seem to disappear. Additionally, Akinfeev has many years in goal under his belt, something some other goalkeepers lack.
For example, team member Matvey Safonov is now showing good results. There are no questions about his game, but, again, he has yet to test his abilities at a good international level. Today in Russia the goalkeeper line is at a very high level. You can point to any team and find a good goalkeeper there,” Chanov told RT.
