“There are no claims against Safonov for the goals conceded by Krasnodar” – Chanov

Krasnodar goalkeeper Matvey Safonov played with dignity against CSKA and confirmed that it is not in vain that great hopes are placed on him, former CSKA goalkeeping coach Vyacheslav Chanov told Metaratings.ru.

On Thursday, the Moscow club beat Krasnodar in its field in the first quarterfinal match of the RPL FONBET Cup of Russia with a score of 3:0.

– In general, CSKA dominated and played without flaws from behind, which we got used to in the first half of the championship. I will say this: we could have scored more, made the reserve even more confident before the second leg.

– Matvey Safonov missed three, but it seems that if not for him, then CSKA could have scored five or six.

“That’s the way it should be. The goalkeeper, who claims to be the first number in the Russian national team, must help out the team. Matvey played very worthily and confirmed that it was not in vain that high hopes were pinned on him. You always want to finish matches with a clean sheet, but it doesn’t always work out that way.

– Can Safonov be blamed for at least one of the three goals?

– No, of course, these balls made their way so competently that it was quite difficult to pull them out. It happens that he could take, but here, as they say, the football god was not on the side of Safonov. There are no complaints about Matvey, but there is always a wormhole in the soul, after all, three. It’s okay, let’s look further, this is the first game after the resumption of the season.

The return match between Krasnodar and CSKA in the quarterfinals of the Cup of the country will take place on February 28.
