Dasaev deserves to be as close as possible to the first place in the ranking of the best goalkeepers in the world, Nigmatullin believes

Former goalkeeper of Moscow Spartak Rinat Dasaev deserves to be as close as possible to the first place in the top 50 best goalkeepers in the world according to the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS), according to former goalkeeper of the Russian national team Ruslan Nigmatullin.

The best goalkeeper was the world champion and 10-time Italian champion Gianluigi Buffon. Olympic medalist and two-time USSR champion Dasaev was 37th, bronze medalist of the European Championship and UEFA Cup winner Igor Akinfeev took 47th place.

– I have not studied this list, but I can say that Dasaev is the best goalkeeper in the world, he deserves to be as close as possible to the first place. Dasaev in 1988 was recognized as the best goalkeeper in the world. Definitely, the person who was recognized as the best in the world deserves to be on this list. As for the other candidates, I did not study, I congratulate all the participants on being included in this list.

Dasaev’s statement according to Akinfeev? Rinat Faizrakhmanovich has a very authoritative opinion, I don’t want to argue with him.

The prospects for young goalkeepers to get into such a list are vague due to the fact that Russian clubs do not play in international matches, Nigmatullin told Metaratings.ru.
