“We should expect the first trophy from Krasnodar in the near future” – Shishkin

Former Krasnodar football player Roman Shishkin believes that Krasnodar will soon win their first trophy.

CSKA defeated Krasnodar in the FONBET Russian Cup Superfinal. The main time of the meeting at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow ended with the score 1:1. In the penalty shootout, the army team turned out to be more accurate – 6:5.

– We will expect the first trophy from Krasnodar in the near future. The Cup of Russia is a more accessible trophy for the “bulls”, there are fewer games, although the Way of Regions has now appeared. But in general Krasnodar played good and stable football in the championship. The last games of the “bulls” are a regularity of the fact that “Krasnodar” played in the Russian Cup Superfinal. The guys fought, even lost during the meeting, but reached the penalty shootout, and then there was the lottery. It was clear from the enthusiasm and faces of the players that they wanted to take the trophy. For the club it would be the greatest event, I hope they will take the title soon.

I think that Krasnodar did not have enough luck. It is clear that CSKA has such a master as Akinfeev, and it can be interpreted in any way that Igor turned his luck to himself. But in general, great football players don’t score penalties, so it doesn’t matter who shoots and where, everything happens. I repeat that the chances were 50/50,” Shishkin told Metaratings.ru.

Krasnodar finished the 2022/23 season WORLD RPL in sixth place.
