Former goalkeeper of Spartak and the USSR national team Anzor Kavazashvili shared his opinion about the team’s goalkeeper Alexander Selikhov.
— Selikhov gets injured very often. With what it can be connected?
— I don’t know him personally, we greeted him once on the podium. A goalkeeper with such talent as his should have been in the national team a long time ago. He has both figure and jumping ability. Unfortunately, having such excellent height for a goalkeeper, a flexible figure, and speed of movement in goal, he plays very little, almost never, in the goalkeeper area. Not to mention the penalty kick. Usually, when a goalkeeper is called great, he must have mastered all the techniques. Choosing a position, closing the near corner, going for a cross, going for high balls, catching when there are a lot of players, or hitting back. There are a lot of subtleties that a goalkeeper must master perfectly.
Unfortunately, I notice that there is something unfinished in his goalkeeping skills. What kills me most about him is his slowness. When a defender throws the ball to him for him to handle, he immediately becomes fixated, looking for someone to pass it to, and passes it to his own defender, who is surrounded by the opposing forwards, causing our team to become nervous and lose confidence. And he himself loses it too.
When the ball was returned to him in the match against Zenit, he swung, thought for a long time, and the Brazilian covered him. This means that he initially had bad goalkeeper coaches and raised him poorly. Now not only Selikhov, but also many other good goalkeepers. Pesyakov, Safonov, look what they are doing? They seem to be competing with each other. Is it possible to play like that? There are many complaints about the goalkeepers’ performance. There are not enough professional skills,” Kavazashvili told Metaratings.ru.
