Sochi head coach Kurban Berdyev criticized defender Artem Meshchaninov, who received a red card in the Winline match of the RPL Winter Cup with Krasnodar.
On Friday, the Bulls defeated Sochi 1-0, with Caio scoring the goal in the 23rd minute. In the 81st minute, Meshchaninov was sent off for hitting the leg of Krasnodar player Kady Borges.
– Before the game, he said that it was important for us to determine the defensive functions in different phases, and there are problems here. We haven’t played the attack yet, but there were good episodes when we rebuilt and played well. There is satisfaction from the game in general, even with ten men we played well, but the attacking actions leave much to be desired, especially in the first half. There is something to work on.
There is a background of fatigue, the guys play under load. The first line-up could not move through, but this is a planned work. The next game will be other guys will work in the same mode.
Removing Meshchaninov? You can’t play like that, there was a counterattack, but we were closer to the goal, we moved well. Tactically, the foul should have been, but not like that.
Krasnodar (Vladimir) Ivic is a nice team, knows what to do, skilled players. There is enough time to play the composition. I think there will be a powerful team, I liked it,” Berdyev told Match TV.
At a press conference, Berdyev, commenting on the words of midfielder Artur Yusupov that Sochi is able to compete for a place in the top five in the RPL, said: “I like this attitude, it’s good that the guys have it like that. I see it both in training and in attitude. I won’t talk about a specific place in the table, but it’s good that the players have such a desire.”
Krasnodar head coach Vladimir Ivic noted the dedication of the players in the match against Sochi.
“It was an interesting game from start to finish. We had segments for the current period of preparation when we showed a good pace. In the first half, we had chances, possession of the ball, we made preparations in attack, which we trained. I liked the game, good dedication from my players from the starting whistle to the end of the match,” said the Serbian specialist.

Russian Football Federation (RFU) hopes that the International Football Federation (FIFA) will follow the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee (THAT IS) subject to the admission of youth teams. The Secretary General spoke about it in an interview RFU Maxim Mitrofanov.
In December THAT IS recommended removing all restrictions for young Russian athletes and allowing them to participate in all competitions with the anthem and flag.
“This recommendation has become an important event for all Russian sports. We see that in many sports international federations are making decisions on the admission of our athletes,” Mitrofanov said. “And there are more and more such decisions.” Recommendation THAT IS plays an important role in this process. Let’s proceed from the fact that FIFA this recommendation will be heeded.”
“At the same time, it is important to understand that the popularity and attention, including at the state and political level, towards different sports in Europe are different. The large international basketball, hockey and football federations are more careful in analyzing the decisions they make. They probably already realized that they have overdone it in 2022. Now it is even more difficult for them to get out of this situation, also because they are afraid of facing the position of a large number of countries which, at the state level, will hinder the implementation decisions about our return,” Mitrofanov added.
Russian clubs and national teams have been suspended from international tournaments due to the situation in Ukraine.

Invitation from the Togliatti Akron striker Artem Dziuba joining the Russian national football team was a positive event. This opinion was expressed in an interview by the general secretary of the Russian Football Federation (RFU) Maxim Mitrofanov.
In March Dzyuba scored against the Grenada team (5:0) and passed Alexandra Kerzakova in terms of goals for the Russian national team, he scored 31 goals.
“I rate it positively [приглашение Дзюбы в сборную]. I think it was a good decision by our coach [Валерия Карпина]Mitrofanov said. “The footballer deserves this opportunity. I am quite relaxed in counting records, but for the players and fans this plays a role. It is also important that the coach allowed the player to prove himself, showing that he had no conflict with Artem.”
“He is a good guy and a good footballer and he took the story very positively. He managed to score, it was clear from Artem’s emotions that he really wanted it,” Mitrofanov added.
In December Kerzhakov announced on his Telegram channel that he had sent a request to the International Football Federation (FIFA) about the authorship of the second goal of the Russian team in the friendly match against the German team on June 8, 2005 (2:2). If RFU admits that the goal was not scored Andrei Arshavinand Kerzhakov, then he will again share first place with Dzyuba.
