The head coach of the Russian national team, Valery Karpin, believes that in a friendly match against the Tajik team, the game was not equal, but the result is fair, and the specialist spoke about his readiness to hold a return match.
On Thursday, the teams of Russia and Tajikistan played 0-0 in Dushanbe.
– The game is not equal, the result is probably fair. If we talk about the quality of football, I liked the first half, in the second there was less control, the game started without a center of the field, especially the first 20 minutes.
– Can you tell me what level the national team of Tajikistan is? In which division of the League of Nations could you play?
– For example, the level of Cyprus.
Injury (goalkeeper Sergei) Pesyakov? I can’t say anything yet, he twisted his ankle a lot, you need to understand whether the ligaments are intact, sprained or there is a tear.
– Fans will criticize the national team?
– Of course. We played 10 times worse with Kyrgyzstan, but we won. We didn’t win today, everything is bad. Tomorrow we are moving to Uzbekistan, getting ready for the game.
– Would you like the return match with Tajikistan in Russia?
– Personally, I’m all for it. And about the plans – a question for the RFU.

Goalkeeper of the Ukrainian national team Anatoly Trubin I remembered the match against France (0:4) when Sergei Rebrov released the semi-reserve squad.
“It was the coach’s choice. It is always the coach who decides whether the match will be sacrificed or not. If we talk about the challenge itself, we all understand the strength of France. I understood that there could be a lot of shots, there could be a lot of chances, and I was ready for it. When the opponent is always with the ball, constantly attacking, you are always in the game: you play in sections, you react, you constantly feel the rhythm.
For me personally, it’s even easier than when your team is attacking most of the time and you’re standing idle and suddenly there’s a moment where you have to be ready,” Trubin said.
