Former CSKA football player Alexander Grishin summed up the results of the Central Asian tour of the Russian team.
On Sunday, November 20, the Russian team failed to beat the Uzbek team in Tashkent – 0:0. On Thursday, November 17, the team of Valery Karpin played a friendly match with the team of Tajikistan in Dushanbe, which also ended in a draw – 0:0.
– Both the first and the second game did not cause positive emotions. Yes, today the composition was different, close to the main one, but the football of the national team did not please me very much, to put it mildly. Playing with two national teams, our players had the advantage, but did not create chances at all, which is more frustrating. Because without chances there are no goals. There are regular zeros in two games. According to the sum of the meetings, the young (midfielder of the Wings of the Soviets Sergey) Pinyaev deserves praise. And there is no one else to single out, everyone played below their capabilities, – Sport24 quotes Grishin.
