– Today I saw the team that was in the silver year, which has character, is uncompromising and fights for every ball. It was very important for us to return it. With today’s match, the team shows that we have a character of a serious level, ”Match TV quotes Berdyev as saying.

– Does the bench suit you now?

– Today – yes. I think that we have good competition in all lines.

– What else would you like to improve in the team?

– I think that today there was timidity and fear of responsibility, which fettered. We would like to add here.

Vladimir Fedotov, head of CSKA, noted the absence of sharp moments due to the quality of the field.

We were looking for our chances, moments, we had them. The thing is that we kind of scored a goal, but there we found a microscopic offside position. In the first half there were chances that we did not convert, but the opponent used them. Then we fell asleep and conceded the first goal due to inattention. The game went all the way.

As it turned out, the field quickly fell into disrepair. At first glance, everything was smooth, but the grass had not yet had time to really get stronger. It wasn’t easy to combine. Little aggravated in these conditions. At some points, it was necessary to simplify the game,” Fedotov said.

Sochi scored 28 points and climbed to seventh place in the RPL standings, CSKA (29) is fifth.
