Sochi beat CSKA due to good implementation, Grishin believes

Sochi defeated CSKA in the match of the 18th round of the WORLD of the Russian Premier League (RPL) only due to good implementation, according to former CSKA midfielder Alexander Grishin.

On Sunday, CSKA lost to Sochi with a score of 0:2 in the away match of the 18th round of the WORLD RPL. The Red-Blues are fifth in the standings with 29 points.

– It cannot be said that Sochi outplayed CSKA in tactical terms. Both teams had a mirror formation (5–2–3). The army team controlled the ball and focused on positional attacks. And Berdyev gave the installation for long passes behind the backs of the players. It was read. Therefore, Sochi won only due to good implementation, Grishin told RT.

Also, the ex-midfielder spoke about the injury of the defender of the army Igor Diveev.

– Due to Diveev’s injury, CSKA’s game has become less variable. Because with Igor in the composition, Fedotov opens up many options for playing in attack. Still, the more players, the more ideas in attack. Do not forget about the loss of Zainutdinov, he is also a player of the main team, without him it is also not easy. But there are no irreplaceable ones. You can always add others. Another thing is that this will affect the quality of the game,” he said.
