– I am satisfied with the content of the game even in the first half, despite the fact that we were losing. They came out of defense 5 to 4, 6 to 5, 4 to 3. The penultimate pass was missing. Everything in our half of the field was good. There were positional attacks, approaches. There was not enough, so to speak, the penultimate pass, – Karpin is quoted by Match TV.

The team showed character. Is it pleasing?

– Pleases. They showed that they were men. Well done guys, we do not have any decadent moods.

The whole community tells us that our last games have been unsuccessful. It is clear that almost the second squad plays in the Cup, it makes no sense to take them into account. All games are different: we lost to Zenit, Ural, conceded with Fakel in the last minute from the penalty spot. Everyone is doing their job, as they should do, and it brings results.
