Former Spartak Moscow striker Valery Kechinov explained the low performance of many matches of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

According to the expert, some teams pay too much attention to defense.

– Which of the matches with a zero or minimum outcome was the most disappointing?

– Croats, probably, who could not score against Morocco. All in all, they have a very decent team, bright players are ahead. But, in fact, they did not create anything. We must pay tribute, of course, to the opponent, where good players are gathered, but, nevertheless, something dangerous could be done at their gates, ”RB Sport” quotes Kechinov as saying.

Will the teams be bolder in the next rounds of the group stage?

– Everyone will play from the result of the first round. Someone will have to go on the attack from the nose, someone will have to play on defense, counting on counterattacks. For example, the Germans have nothing to lose, they are playing with Spain. And you have to think about how to play, because this team does not give the ball away at all. And a draw for Germany will be like a defeat.
