Zenit also went a long way to its success, so Krasnodar has everything ahead of it” – Ugarov

Former Zenit midfielder Denis Ugarov told RB Sport that CSKA’s victory in the FONBET Cup of Russia was natural, and all the trophies of Krasnodar are yet to come.

On Sunday, CSKA won the Russian Cup by beating Krasnodar in the Superfinal. The main time of the meeting, held at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, ended with a score of 1:1, in the penalty shootout the army team turned out to be more accurate – 6:5.

– I would not call the Russian Cup final the icing on the cake of the football season, but the game was interesting, both teams had moments. That is, the closing of the season turned out to be worthy. CSKA won naturally. And the skill of Igor Akinfeev played a key role. Because a penalty kick is a lottery that the goalkeeper of the army has dealt with. Plus, there was probably some kind of psychological pressure on those who tried to beat him – after all, Akinfeev played at the World Cup, everyone remembers the match with the Spaniards. Perhaps the Krasnodar players had some kind of excitement about this in their heads.

– Krasnodar was as close as possible to its first trophy in 15 years. Do not feel sorry for the Galitsky team?

– It’s okay, Zenit also went to its success for a long time, so Krasnodar has everything ahead, if the funding remains at the proper level, then such a team can do anything. Next year, maybe they will come up with another cup.
