Karpin was satisfied with the game “Rostov” with “Akhmat”, despite the first defeat of the season

The head coach of “Rostov” Valery Karpin after the group stage match of the RPL FONBET Cup of Russia with the Grozny “Akhmat” said that the team’s game turned out to be equal.

Group C meeting ended with Akhmat’s home victory with a score of 3:1. Rostov suffered their first defeat in the 2022/23 season in all competitions.

– The game was plus or minus equal, we even managed to score. Yes, we defended somewhere more, but everyone played well. The defensive line is 21 years old, probably the average age, they gave me time to play. It is clear that it can be better. The guys complain that the field is very soft, everyone’s legs are clogged, but this is not an excuse, for both teams it is the same. Something happened, something didn’t, on the whole it’s normal, ”Karpin said on MATCH PREMIER.

“The emotions are good, I urged the guys not to think that this is a Cup or championship match, but to focus on the fact that the fans are coming,” the head coach of the Grozny club Sergey Tashuev said on the TV channel. – This is the main motivation. We played well, used simulated things. What we managed to do in a week… Although the team is well prepared in general, the guys gave pleasure to the fans, a lot of combinations, good football.

Akhmat is leading in Group C with six points, ahead of Rostov in additional indicators. Dynamo Moscow is in third place (4), Orenburg is fourth (2).

INFANTINO: “If there was no FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world”

FIFA President Gianni Infantino He commented on World Cup ticket prices, saying they reflected “absolutely insane” demand for next summer’s tournament:

“We have six to seven million tickets and in 15 days we received 150 million ticket requests. So every day we have 10 million requests. This shows how strong the World Cup is.”

FIFA has sold just 44 million tickets in almost 100 years of the World Cup. So we were able to sell tickets for the 300th anniversary of the World Cup in two weeks. Just imagine. “This is absolutely crazy.”

Infantino also noted that funds from ticket sales would be reinvested into world football, but did not specify a specific amount:

“The important thing is that the revenue from this goes back into football around the world. If it weren’t for FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world. Football exists thanks to the revenues we get from the World Cup, and we reinvest that into football around the world.”

Previously, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on FIFA to further reduce 2026 World Cup ticket prices.
