Wings of the Soviets goalkeeper Ivan Lomaev said that he came to football largely because of CSKA goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev.
On Wednesday, the army team beat the Samara “Wings of the Soviets” in the second leg of the ½ final of the FONBET RPL Path of the Russian Cup (1: 0). The first meeting of rivals in March ended with a score of 2:2. CSKA advanced to the finals of the RPL Path of the tournament in terms of the number of meetings, the Wings will continue to fight in the lower bracket.
– In April, 20 years since Akinfeev’s debut in adult football (Igor Akinfeev made his debut for CSKA in March 2003 – just in the match with Krylya Sovetov – ed.) Did he somehow influence you?
– There is such an interesting situation here that I came to football after Euro 2008, when Russia was enchanting. I wanted to become either a goalkeeper because of Akinfeev, or a midfielder because of Arshavin. But when I came to the first training session, I was one of the tallest in my group – and immediately got into the goal.
Akinfeev is a legend, in a word. A person who has been playing since the age of 16 is an incredible achievement.
– How does Akinfeev stand out for you?
– I would have noted his anticipation very strongly. This is the vision of the game. He coolly reads the moments, sees them in advance. Perhaps this is a given, and comes with experience.
Calmness, composure, the ability to make decisions in emergency situations and, of course, the choice of position.
But it is stupid to compare me with Akinfeev – who am I and who is he. Super titled footballer, legend, lump.
Which goalkeeper do you look up to?
– When I first started, it was Akinfeev, Casillas, Buffon. Then, when he grew up, to Sommer, Courtois. These are the best goalkeepers in the world now, ”the Match TV website quotes Lomaev as saying.
Ivan Lomaev is a graduate of the Chertanovo Academy. He has been playing for Wings of the Soviets since 2020.

Captain of Crystal Palace Marco Guehi set to join Liverpool at the end of the season. The England international’s contract expires in June and there are no plans to renew it.
Liverpool had already made a bid of £35 million in the last window, but the Londoners canceled the deal just hours before the transfer window closed. Sky Sports reports that Guehi remains interested in a move to Anfield and that a “gentleman’s agreement” has been reached between the two parties for the move to take place in the summer.
However, the situation could still change if Palace decide to cash in during the January transfer window. In addition to Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also interested in Guehi, who will make an offer next month.
